I didn’t watch the video I just assumed,
uk dyno their cars at the wheels then make up some number that it makes at the fly wheel usually in lots of 50s and use that number to state what power it makes
And then add cams, springs, valves, guides, lifters, shins, head studs, gasket, port work, cam gears and labor plus any bolt ons, hoses, timing kit, covers and anything else no one has thought of and you’re looking at 30-35aud or 21-24us
By the time you add machine work and etc there wouldn’t be much change and that’s not taking into account if he also needs an inlet manifold, injectors and etc
Looking at how he’s written the date he’s American, which will also make his power figure very easy to achieve.
Not sure how far your 15,000 budget is going to get you, you’re probably going to have to keep it fairly simple to stay within budget
The only thing I’m really concerned with is the turbine housing which was supposed to have a beanie and will still be getting one, everything else has been has plenty of gap and won’t be a problem
It’s the stock diff that’s been rebuilt with nismo plates, it’s enough to feel it chatter on tight turns while accelerating but not enough to make it uncomfortable
wheel alignment is on the cards as are fresh tyres.
the 4wd is to slow at the moment, going to give it a bleed and see what happens
also looking at better quality coil overs
I still haven’t had the chance to really drive it properly because of different things and then when I got it working properly it tried to kill me and now I need to look into why
That’s what I’ll be doing, yes it goes very alright lol. Once i put it on high boost and gave it a boot in second I had to start grabbing lock to make sure it didn’t hit a gutter or tree or fence.
need to find some rear end grip or make the 4wd keep up with the car or both
Only oil mods are a tomei baffle in the stock sump and cam cover baffles and a catch can that vents to atmosphere. Everything else is stock cause it’s still a stock unopened r33 engine
Bit of and update
I had an issue where every time I’d boot the car it would trip the engine protection and throw an oil pressure code, we thought maybe the engine protection was set a bit aggressive.
we took the car for a drive with a data logger going and fair enough it was losing oil pressure rapidly, put an extra liter of oil in it and presto all fixed. Which shows the protection was doing it’s job perfectly.
Lesson learned that even with a baffle in the sump it’s still not good enough, something better is on the cards at a later time
