Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Evos are unbelievably fast when you see them in action. A mate has an Evo6, have cruised with him and done hills drives with him, unbelievable.

And the sound that thing makes at high RPM is phenomenal, never heard anything like it, it was.... like a bark more than anything.

Phenomenal cars, love em. If you see them driving flat out you will appreciate...

Problem is they are worth much more than 33's so a trade up is not on the cards, not as long as we keep throuwing money into that sexy R33-shaped pit.

.................... go the money pits.

Beauty about Evos is the standard ECU, AFM, injectors, etc... can handle so much. This guy pulled up next to me at the lights and turned his boost up to 19 PSI and took off.

Right now I'm running 13 PSI and can't run any more without spending big dollars, injectors, turbs, ECU, bla bla bla all the usualy crap but that's a lot of dosh.

he can get in a standard evo 6 (apart from exhaust) and turn it right up. I'd be interested to see what it puts out on a dyno....

got a few mates with evo's and quite frankly i wasn't impressed! maybe all of the hype about them didn't meet my expectations, it was fast shit you not but to me a rwd is still more exciting! but i guess i don't like them but respect them for being fast!

^doubt it... i'm putting down almost 200 and he was miles ahead, 4 car lengths....

was this of a stand still launch, if so they of course he will be in front and given a long enough rd you would reel him in

steve's onto a point

evo's, rexes and the like are quick off the line, but are limited to top end gearing (considering their heritage is for fanging sideways on gravel at 140+kmh)

mid sized cars (skyline, supra etc) are relatively quick off the line, but still have a better top end than the smaller 4wd turbo cars

then ya big 8s are good for top speed, but not really for take off with extremely low gearing

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
