What is not "kept stock" with this fine vehicle?

WRX-Club-of-QLD-Dirt-Day_0023.jpg

ps - I know this looks like a Time Attack car that has no place on dirt. But that's only because it is a Time Attack car that has no place on dirt.

Needs more dirt/mud

Good luck with that. You don't have your Skyline because it was a sound economic decision...

actually at the time it was. I purchased mine for less than $20,000 back in 2003 and had genuine 55,000km on it for an almost stock late 94 model R32. Subsequent to that, its been (and still is) a very bad economic decision. Having said that, I love my car and will treasure it for as long as I can until that spark is extinguished within me.

Also I have yet to see anyone materialise any significant ROI from such motor vehicles (unless ex group A car or alike) hence - unless a very rare collectible, you will always realise a loss on motor vehicles.

Fair enough, the next piece of hassle saving advice is dont turbo the N/A engine. Bin it and buy a Turbo engine, less hassle and its the correct compression ratio.

As chants has informed me the gt-v it a turbo engine minus the turbo so all compression ad internals are turbo parts

Alright well I'm gonna put this out there. Whoever wants parts at trade price pm me and we will talk ;)

Offer to sauqld members only and I might not be able to get all parts

I'm hearing varying opinions on this. I've always been against turboing an NA but it seems that a number of people are having a lot of luck with the RB25DE+T. My thoughts are, we need to buy a manifold and turbo anyway. Buy it attach it, it engine goes boom, buy new motor or bottom end as required and move on. If it doesn't go boom, happy days.

BTW, when you're shopping for turbo on the GT-V, make sure you get low mount kit not high mount kit. Mate and I discovered that top bit of intake runners hitting the turbo.

sounds like good deal *russian accent*

Definitely. it's going to be a daily so don't want the attention if a high mount.

Call me skeptical but I massively doubt that Nissan would give the gt-v a low compression version of the 25de. Why would they make a new version of the engine to make it less powerful and less efficient?

Oh, mate is doing a track car so legalities doesn't worry him.

Is high mount legal?

No idea about QLD but not legal in VIC unless it comes from factory (think late model N12 Pulsar ET).

Turboing an n/a works well when you run low boost on a turbo capable of flowing lots of air at low pressures. on the n/a block is there provision for oil and water lines for the turbo?

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
