The locked diff comment reminded me of a mate who modified the diff of his old corolla.

He some how welded it so that it was a one wheel drive.

After that he was able to step on the brake at any speed in any gear and instantly smoke it.

Had it down the burn out comp and won one of the years also.

The problem with one wheel drive is the slightest incline and the thing gets bogged as you try to take off, simply sits there and spins. Awesome fun.

1 wheel drive genrally happens when you snap a weld with having a locker.. 1 wheel cant seem to get traction no matter the powerplant.

in fact deluxe i might be able to find a small side draught for you? mate has all sorts from when he had a to4'd 179 in a hd holden.

Yeh nice the old lockers in my mates old Cilica used to go thru Axles like there was no tomorrow.

Oh and Jase if there was a side draught webber there to be used that would be sweet as they don't seem to be easy to find these days, You think it'll go straight on?

I think thats what he's done.. welded up just single spinner for the burnout comp. He eventually became annoyed with it and dropped in a normal diff again. He wasn't keen on lockers, especially as it was gutless. :mellow:

im not to shure if there is a webber there, ill have to check tomorrow, from memory there is a dellorto and a stromberg.

either would be totaly sufficiant for what you want, its just a matter of fabricating the necisary manifolds ect..

pretty straight forward stuff.. you will have a hell of a time making the thing run right.

is a factory t25 t28 wastegated at 7-8 psi?

Be careful, the pistons are like porcelain, they blow ringlands at any time. You

will have to limit it to 80rwkw and keep boost under 10psi. Shaun ex apprentice built one

using my old parts (cam, turbo, intercooler) on a 5 k , it made 100rwkw on 12psi.

Mine made 156rwkw on pump fuel:), arguably the worlds most powerful toyota K motor.

LOL yeh nice..... nothings has really progressed apart from some C__T cutting me off 2 days ago and now i'm up for a new bummper, lights(well U Pull it) and some handy pannel work to be done by myself, but apart from that i was thinking of only putting on a webber and exhaust and maybe just keep it reliable.

But 156kw out of a 5k would have been some REAL NICE fun!

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
