R32 Skyline Vs 200sx

[r32matt]

Hi,

My mate just bought a 2002 model 200sx. It is fully standard and is automatic. I was reading that they go 0-100 in 5.6 seconds standard. I have a R32 manual and i read that they go 0-100 in 6.5 standard. The mods i have are:

R34 Turbo - Running on 7psi

Lighten Flywheel

3 Inch Excust

K&N Air Filter

Front Mount Intercooler

I was just wondering if you guys think I can beat him with the mods I have?

Personally i think it will come down to driver.. the auto will be quicker off the mark however it depends on how well you know to drive your car. stock 200sx has around the same rw/kw as a stock R32 however the RB20 should have more torque. The auto 200sx are pretty laggy until 4000rpm... Considering your mods you should be able to get him, if not let me drive your car hahaha just kidding... the only way to find out is down the 1/4 mile.

You will chop him very very hard with those mods against an stock auto s15. You have manual vs auto, a bigger turbo and modifications done!

Standard the s15 sr20 would have quiet alot more torque than a standard rb20 though Sarkis.

Anyway go and find out mate, im sure you'll be happy with the results

keep your revs up off the line, and be prepared to clutch it again if you dont get the start you need. Just make sure he doesnt stall his up

[silver gts-t]

yeh, my mate had an auto s14, was soooo slow!

[QRI05E]

I would of thought the RB20 would have more torque then the SR20 due to it being a straight 6... Ahh well you may be right Jaz... but ill but by bet on the R32 cause of the mods.....

[jazza08]

Accordin to most dyno's and Nissans figures the sr20 has more torque, maybe due to more compression in the motor or 4 bigger pistons compaired to 6 smaller ones? Who knows but from what ive seen sr20 does have more torque (more noticable off boost than on)

[ToF]

LOL RB20 has more torque than SR20?

I'm sorry but as an owner, the RB20 has hardly any torque.

[Oblivion]

nah sr20 more torque in low revs then rb20. i like mine to rev though, hence why i dont have an sr20.

[R31Nismoid]

well this just seems like another "vs" thread...

[blackprincegts]

actually remember that in australia the s15 sr20det was detuned from the factory. and in manuel form will do 6.34 and a standing quarter of 14.59.

Australian spec s15 has 147kw and 265nm of torque@48000rpm. Rb20 got few more KW's but same torque. S15 manuel weighs in at 1282kgs.

about the same asa 32

R32 Manuel will do 6.5 and 14.8 quarter. Expect only 0.1 to 0.2 seconds slower for the auto s15.

If your mate got rid of nissans state of detune he would be making 187kw and be running 13.8 quarters.

Youll woop him if you can drive properly if you got those mods you listed

[blackprincegts]

oh woops, just re-read you post and noticed you only running 7psi.in that case, pretty close between the 2 for sure.

They're no chance in hell a stock S15 can run 5.6 0-100km/h taking into account the car is an australian model and is auto.

The Jap S15 came with a ball-bearing T28 as opposed to the plain bearing of the Aus S15's.

Taking into account your mods I'd say you'd beat him easily. But mate why don't you just go out and have a run? Its all fun and let us know how you go.

[Thunderbolt]

S15 will get you off the line if he stalls it up a bit. Your car will probably come back in the deep end though, and could very well have him by the end of the quarter.

[Big Rizza]

Japanese spec S15 manuals ran 0-100 in about 5.6 as you stated - they have 184kw as standard. The Aussie cars were detuned to 147kw, and do 0-100 in low 6's in manual form. The auto's are slower again, with 0-100 in the 7's. A stock R32 GTST manual would chop a stock S15 auto very easily.

But then that raises another question - why are you running LESS boost than a stocker? Dunno too much about modifying cars, but your set up seems good for around 1 bar boost if you ask me! BOOST THAT SUCKER UP!!!

Thanks Guys,

Ive ordered a boost controller and should be getting a new fuel pump in the next 18 days. My mate wants to have a drag in about 2 weeks so hopefully I will have it boosted when we drag. Although I should be able to win with it running on 7psi. I wont be happy if he does beat me. I might have to practice my take offs. Could i turn the boost up a bit without the bigger fuel pump?

[jazza08]

10psi on standard pump with ur turbo should be fine

[r32matt]

Thanks

Yeah i will proberly run it on 10psi when i get the boost controller.

But then yesterday when I was driving the metal plate that holds my clutch in position snapped. So now i gotta take out the clutch pedal and cylinders to fix it all up. Hopefully it will be a easy job and somewhere will have the brackets to buy. Has anyone installed a Clutch pedal before?

[stolen_s15]

Mate i reckon if the 200 is stock and you get a decent launch you will eat him. Just practice the launch and shifts before you hit the.......................track

[r32matt]

My mate got his 200sx back the other day and wont take me for a drive. He has taken everyone else but me. I think he doesnt wanna show me how quick it is becasue it might be slower. Im pushing him to take me but my mates who have been in it say that mine is quicker anyways.

Also some how the bracket that holds my clutch twisted and snapped. Not sure if becasue it was mounted wrong or because the heavy duty clutch was to much pressure. I bought a new one which cost me $220, hopefully I wont have the same problem.
