leaving stock mode

[greddy2smoke]

got a r32 stock.. and i want to achieve more horse, now..whats the best way you guys got more hp cheaper.. i know its headers, exhaust, intake..ect.. but. i was readying on here about tuning the ecu's?are they really that effectiv for power, i mean i dont know, but i want to know which should i do first? i dont know. i want to do it professionally and nicely well thanks for the info

First and foremost.....exhaust. Minimum of a mandrell-bent 3" system, catless if you can get away with it (emissions laws)Then free-flowing intakes.

Then......

Boost controller, set it to 1.0 or 1.1 BAR.

Then get a fuel/timing management thing, like a AEM EMS to tune it.

ECU tuning is only going to net you a little bit of power. Like Count said, you want a minimum 3' exhaust. The stock fuel setup is pretty good for decent horsepower, but if you are going to get nutty with the car, that should be upgraded soon.

By the way, you own a Skyline, nothing is cheap as far as tuning goes.

You didn't specify whether you have an RB20DET or an RB26DETT so I have to generalize. If you are running the stock ceramic turbo(s) don't do more than .9 unless you have another 1(2) you need a reason to put on.

[greddy2smoke]

sorry rb26dett.. yea i noticed the prices of alot of things and im just thinking . .. ... ... ..... yikes.. well the car wasnt cheap, mine as well go through all the way with the parts right?.. but, which exh. should i get , i want something that sounds great! and company to go with, i want all greddy but.. my wallet cant handel the GReddy-ness.. but thats always who i used, so i gotta move on to another company i guess.. where can i send out my ecu? has anyone found out where that one good price is?( or decent)

does it have to be a mandrell-bent system, i mean if so ill get it but i didnt know if its te best thing for it or.. if you were refering. i only ask because the mandrel bent is hard to find arond here.. so i want to know if so

[themadscientist]

All aftermarket exhuast is mandrel bent. I think he specified the mandrel bent in case you had it custom made. Bubbas muffler shop uses the wrinkled up Pepboys stuff.

yea i know how big should i go.. i dont want to look like a bow bow too

I mentioned the Mandrel-bent just to make sure you don't get something that's crimp-bent or wrinkle-bent.....those make every bend a choke-point that bogs down the exhaust flow.

How big? I'm definately no expert, but from everything I"ve learned, 3" should be good enough, at least if you're running catless.

[themadscientist]

As big as you can fit, 3" will get the job done.

im going without cat, tommorrow, should i keep the silencer or no, if has one, i didnt remeber to look, and its night now.. and cold. but what should it be a stock for boost, my gauge isnt working.. how big should the muffler be? or doesnt matter?

headers? is your RB26DETT without the "TT"? or do you have exhaust manifolds with turbos? headers are what you get for NA V8's.

anyways, you can make good HP like everyone said with exhaust and intake. but I wouldn't ignore tuning the computer. you want to adjust the air/fuel parameters to account for the increase in airflow. also get a boost controller. setting it to no more than 1.1 for longevity with stock internals, stock head gasket, and stock turbines. what kind of car do you have the RB26DETT in?

[Gold Digger]

Aren't RB26's two piece exaust manifolds? If so, in theory, that would be "headers"...lol. No worries though.

I have seen several GT-R's running around here that use 3.5"-4" catbacks, and they sound mean as hell, but I think the 3" turbo back (to include front pipes as well) would be plenty for right now. The big dogs use the uber large diameter for the extremely high speed runs down the wangan.

If you are buying from a dealer, look into companies like HKS, Greddy, Blitz, JIC, Jazmo. Those are the bigger names here, but their quality is damned good. Just be prepared to pay.

Ok. Let's clarify. Headers are aftermarket exhaust pipes for NA application exhaust manifolds. "Turbo manifolds" are for tubocharged vehicles.

I still don't know which model skyline this car is...

[greddy2smoke]

92 GTR. yea i think i will get the 3.5

OK. Then let's just call them "aftermarket tubes getting the exhaust gasses out quicker."

That way there is no debate on whether they are "Headers" or "Turbo Manifiolds".

[greddy2smoke]

lol lol. does anyone have a decent site you can refer me to for prices or such. i mean im still looking but. only a few.
