IMO - KW is for bragging to your friends.

If your like moir, the aim was for safe full potenial of my motor, they are seriously detuned for EPA and the real potential of the RB & SR can be realeased with good and informed mods.

Yeah I'm all for getting the potential out. However some people tend to forget that they don't necessarily need over 200rwkw even though 200rwkw seems the bare minimum these days. You certainly don't need that power on the street, as that is more than enough to easily break lots of laws before you know it. With circuit, the quick times usually comes from the driver and suspension setup. With drift you can easily get sideways and stay sideways with the right setup and tyres (look at the NA Hachis). Drag racing is the only event which relys on big power, and how much of you go out to street meets regularly?

Well you can't really put a figure on it. To drive an SR safely, you need to keep it below 7000rpm ideally. Fortunately the SR has bucketloads of midrange torque, so you don't need to rev the crap out of it.

The stock turbo (on S15s) is fairly good for producing a useable power band, so people shouldn't have to feel they need to race out and by the latest Garret GT28RS or something.

Depending on the dyno, you can get up to around 200rwkw with a fuel pump, boost increase (say to 14 or 15psi), intercooler, exhaust, tune etc.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
