some sensible advise please

[MR Y]

right once im up and running in time for summer i should have....

steel headgasket
forged pistons (after rebore)
fmic
turbo elbow
downpipe
powerfc
apexi induction
decat (cheers eddie)
gtr fuel pump
greddy profec b spec 2 boost controller
new shells
valve seals redone
some better oil pump thing

so where to go next? is it worth doing injectors at the same time and at what sort of cost? After that where would you go? all advise greatly appreciated as i dont want to mither john and pete too much

[Eddie]

Dont think the injectors will run out just yet mate.

I would say brakes & suspenders next mate if you haven't already

[Nick]

Only bits that I can spot missing from that list are injectors, steel rebuild on your turbo and a Z32 AFM and you are flying mate I do think it is worth doing the whole lot in one go as you only have one mapping session.

A clutch may be a good idea also.

proper newbie question, whats a Z32 afm do?





edit: cheers nick

[Nick]

Air flow metre mate - located just before your induction kit. Yours will probably get maxxed out as with a turbo capable of taking some boost you should be getting somewhere close to making about 380-400bhp atf with that spec list

i reckon the best mod you can do Stevie is buy a Fcuking big can of oil ..

Fit the latest E manage and you can stop worrying about air flow meters maxing out. Cheaper than a lot of other add on ECU options too.

Ooo look it can do something about knock as well nice

[MR Y]

cheers buster after your posts and speaking with pete i will be going with the e-manage, now i just need some dodgy scouser to sort me a good deal

[MR Y]

engine now out and car on drive (alarm still works thieves beware) but i have some round things in my boot and have been told my clutch is buggered, came as a shock but oh well no new cams for me just yet, if you were aiming for 500bhp (approx of course) which clutch would you buy and what sort of price? many thanks for any help in advance

edit: on a budget of course so no daft answers

[Kojak]

wise samurai once say.

who cares about the clutch (though Ogura are sexual) .. don't forget the fookin engine oil

[MR Y]

FFS i give up, heres me on the official clubsite asking for serious advise and i get answers like that, take another trip to japan and they may say "stevie la go home you are of no use to the skyline owners of the uk"

will go look up ogura but knowing you they will be expensive and blingy

engine oil is fer girls

edit: incase i sound like a **** (awful word) dont worry steve knows i dont like him
