Hey all im just wondering how much added KW u would gain from adding things like:

*exausht with extractors

*pod filter

*cold air intake

*forged pistons

*high performance fuel pump

*high flow 1000cc injectors

*ECU

*bored out

*shaved/polish heads

Would be very helpfull if someone could give me an idea about the fixtures these things would add, cheers.

FI is Forced induction section. your thread has been incorrectly moved there. it should be in Naturaly Aspirated performance.

it has now been moved by me to NA Performance section.

See that SEARCH Button up top?

Its your best friend on this forum, as there is SO MUCH INFO in posts here that has answered your question a hundred times over. :happy:

And to be honest that is a pretty open ended question depending on your starting point or more specific, what engine/chassis combo.

My mistake, i didnt realise he had an NA car

forged pistons and 1000cc injectors were mentioned so yeah

doesnt matter

Can I suggest you jump on google and on this forum and search for what each of those things you mention do. Slapping a whole lot of products together doesn't necessarily mean you make power.

eg. forged pistons- make no additional horsepower and are simply stronger

Fuel pump- makes you no additional power. You only add it when your standard one can't supply enough fuel to make the power you want to make

1000cc injectors- these make you no power either and they would be over kill for a car with less than 900hp. You also need an aftermarket computer to run different injectors.

My advice would be to leave the car standard and enjoy the car how it is and take it to track days where you can learn how to drive. Then once you get off your P's buy a turbo car and you will then get much better value for money when you modify it.

You can put forged internals into a NA car and see benefits.

"Strength" isn't as important in a NA car as you're not looking at winding up the boost and generating more force per each power stroke. Instead of using them for their strength, you take that extra strength per unit material and make the pistons lighter instead, which lets you run a higher redline.

ok mate listen up

you have an NA R32 - that's probably the rb20de engine.. not really a lot to work with here. sure your car still looks great, handles great, and probalby stops great too. but it ain't got much balls.. there's not really much you can do about it unfortunately

stock rb20de probably will make about 80rwkw given its age

to make the most out of what you have, i'd suggest:

- extractors, high-flow cat, 2.5" exhaust ($1000)

- high-flow panel airfilter in stock airbox ($80)

- ECU re-tune and time on the dyno to adjust base timing etc. ($500)

that should bring you up to around 100-110rwkw if you're lucky

my advice?

drive and enjoy what you have, and save for something a bit bigger and better later on

in the mean time read as much as you can on SAU because its clear that you don't know too much about how cars work. use the search function of the forum before you ask any questions and you will find more info than you even need. at the end of the day don't be afraid to ask something even if you get bagged for it.

best of luck,

Warren

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
