Last time i was at WSID there was this sleeper copper orange v8 ss vx, looked totally stock from the outside

then looking under the bonnet....

GT3540!!!.. he said engine has been worked with forgies 5.7L gen3 running 10-11's can't remember but he said he was kiling the diff or drive shafts all the time

I GUESS HE SAW THE LIGHT! V8 + TURBO :(

lolz .... ahhhh good laugh.

why they talking turbos on a v8, when a supercharger is the obvious choice for large displacement anyway?

Not anymore...

The GEN-TT kits are killing most supercharger kits horsepower figures.

They only cost 9 grand as well, so they're pretty cheap in terms of kw gained.

Superchargers were king about 2 years ago, alot has changed in R&D for turbos on V8's since then though.

Alot of VX SS' are running around with the GEN-TT kits now, with not much else done and they're running mid to low 11's

I have run and beaten several eights with my near stock GT-R. it felt great.

the problem is that people are bagging skylines, they are confusing GTS-Ts(which are still great vehicles BTW!!!) with GT-R's.

i haven't met anyone that has driven a GT-R that wasn't absolutely astounded by its overall ability as a performance car.

pfffft. 5.7ltrs suck ass. all that hp now they want to be "ricers" lmao. there family cars for god sake >_<

exactly. just because the engine may have come from a corvette, doesn't mean the rest of the car is at the same level of performance.

    • 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..
    • 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  
    • 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
