  1. Sorry forgot to say what car it is, it's a s13 Silvia , fully stripped and fitted with an rb25 , i can't see it weighing over 1100kg.

    It's purely for drifting and I only want them on the front , was hoping that because they are a street semi they might last me longer than a race compound, also there design allows for use in damp conditions.

    My main concern is weather I should have stuck to 17's and weather a 235 or 245 would have provide a lot more grip on the front , for the past year I've just been using cheap tyres like durun and sunny 235/45/17 as steer tyres, hoping that a reduction is size will balance out with the quality upgrade of tyre?

  2. Hey guys I'm going to be using the ku36 kuhmos as steer tyres on the drifter just wonderig if anyone's had experience with them, I think they are more of a sticky stret tyre than a race compound, I'm restricted to 205/50/15 in size, main reason I wanted stickier tyres on the front is to reduce understeer

  3. Thanks for the replies guys! i have put the afm back to just infront of the turbo instead of the T/B and it runs fine now, idles beautifully, untill it warms up then it hunts and runs a tad rough, but it does idle so im happy... I didn't realize moving the afm around would make such a big difference, i guess ill just get the tuner to relocate it when its ready for tuning.

    Thanks again.

  4. Since this is another problem i thought ide make a new thread, Thanks to all those who replied in the catch can thread, I now have another problem, It was there before the catch can install as well.. This is the first proper time im getting this Rb25 running in my silvia and so far it doesnt seem to be boosting at all, Before i done the catch can / pcv block off it used to read vaccum, now its not even reading vaccum or boost, is this possible, will test another guage but its defiantly not boosting either way.

    it also doesnt idle, it needs a fair bit of rev to stay alive but im assuming its because its un-tuned? im running a z32 afm and 550cc injectors, ive changed the latency to the % listed in a thread i found on here somewhere, and pretty sure i wired up the z32 correctly, and ive selected the z32 afm in the PFC.

    things to note :

    relocated AFM to just before t/b -

    Blocked off PCV valve -

    Not running a boost controller ( have 18 psi spring in wastegate ) so have waste gate going directly to compressor side of turbo

    i have 2 photos if anyone spots something that isnt right please let me know.. Also a video of the car stalling

    since the video ive installed the radiator and fan, put on the catch can, put a pod on the turbo, replace the fuel lines, and thats about it...

  5. Although this topic has been covered millions of times i couldent really find an easy diagram to follow, the d1 installation guide has tiny pictures and i couldent see how it was routed..... and most of the other photots ive used as reference had the stock intake manifold, i have a FFP.. I also have my MAF directly infron of my throttle body.

    so in the attached photo, can i :

    Block of the GREEN

    Split the red, into catch can

    Vent the yellow into an intake pipe or stick a little filter onto it ?

    OR

    Green port into 1 side of catch can, Then

    Split the red and have a t-piece, and put other side of catch can into the t-piece

    Vent the yellow into an intake pipe or stick a little filter onto it

    OR

    Green and Yellow into catch cans, and leave the red as is ?

  6. wow ! some very informative posts in here!

    Ok i should have said what the engine is intended for! its going into a dedicated s13 drift car, ive gone from Rb20 to Rb25. I bassically bought the entire setup of a previous drifter, it made 400rwhp with a greddy plenum, highmounted garret 3076, 550cc injectors, z32 afm and tuned with powerfc.

    ill be running a TD06-25G for the moment as i dont want to buy a china 3076 and hopefully the kinugawa td06 survives long enough while i save for the 3076 :)

    anyway the engine will be dedicated drift car, How ever i want it to be reliable, i was able to push the rb20 @ 7500RPM for hours on end non stop on private prac days, when i say non stop i really mean hours on end NON STOP lol, and it loved it, but at the same time i didnt really care if it blew cause its a cheap engine, I want to be able to hammer the rb25 lap after lap without worrying about it exploding on me, so ide be willing to spend the extra cash on a rebuild kit if it genuinly means its a better product.

    Risk wise the stock motor at 500whp will not need much encouragement to let go. Encounter some knock due to bad fuel or have a fuel pump go lazy and you are sure to nuke it.

    Currently i have a bosch 040 intank pump, would i need to go twin pumps to guarantee a good fuel supply, or would i be better of with bigger injectors and a good pressure regulator, and of course a good tune!


    Buy a filter relocator to suit a much larger filter, such as a Z9 or similar, and run synthetic rated filters. Look at Holden or Ford relocators or similar that take those giant filters..

    Will deffinatley look into doing this!

  7. Currently have an Rb25 and at the moment its tuned to 400rwhp, Eventually im going to want to get more, probably 500-600 but i want to rebuild it first and was wondering if pretty much all the rebuild kits are the same?

    for example....Spool Vs CP Vs ROSS Vs Supertech ?

    Spool + CP kits come out around 2.1K and supertech is around 3k.... will ANY forged kit be good enough ?
