Ok i drove a turbo skyline today and the torque was massive, spinning wheels in 1-3rd gear, now in my NA i can spin em in first and a bit in 2nd, but in 3rd :rolleyes:. Seriously what can be done to extract heaps more power from the NA engine without turbocharging, ive done filter and zorst. Will boring out and porting the head make a huge difference ? im sure our little 2.5 (or 2) litre engines can make a heap load of power if it is tinkered with fully! ne suggestions ppls ? and no one say BUY A TURBO cos i dont plan on doing that! Neone interested in extracting more power out of their engines, cos im gonna go to workshops and find out how much can really be extracted out of them

hey man, my car gives great 3rd gearies, and even better 1st to 2nd ones and currently all i have is a hks super dragger exaust, from 100 k's an hour it keeps up with most stock turbo cars. though there was one series 4 rx7 that put me to shame but he shot two 3 ft flames out his two exausts when he cracked 4th so i thought then i was down and backed off haha, in the next few weeks i should have a K n N high flow filter insert an Apexi S-AFC and those coby extractors fitted, ill get it all dyno'd and let u guys know how it goes. would expecting 20kw extra be stretching it??

huge cams and ported heads to match.

this will eventuate in heaps more revs, and will increase power.

we will never have the same amount of torque as as turbo(without forced induction of some sort), but if we can produce peak torque very high in th rev range, u get the power.

maybe stroking the engine to 2.7-2.8 liters while maintaining reseasonable revs would produce some very attrative figures

shit went for a drive tonite, cold air makes such a diffrence cos it was going realy fast, counted 0-100 in 6 seconds just counting by mouth, and loss of traction with new tyres lol, but not like ur car NA_33, maybe i should flat shift it into third!

to my suprise it gets quite hot under our bonnets.

i just added a self designed and made :D airbox to suit my pod filter

added some cold air induction from beneath, and it seems to be working to a treat.

there is definatly some more top end, the tacho rushes really hard in the last 1500-2000 rpm (which is where it counts)

:D

nismoman - cams, headwork, tuned ecu, extractors/full exhaust (designed for power and not sound), higher compression pistons (11.5:1- 12:1 maybe) bore the motor out, have it blueprinted, fully balanced, stroke it, make the intake charge as cool as possible.

You could opt for a 6 butterfly throttle system like the GTR's have, these are popular for hardcore n/a motors.

The above mods would end up costing bucketloads. Lots. Heaps.

You are better off buying a centrifugal supercharger, possibly fitting a decomp plate, intercooler, ecu and injectors in my opinion.

More power from n/a costs $$$ for relatively small gains usually in the skyline world.

i would have to think a thermo fan would make a diff, i know i just put one on my turbo, but it made a diff, and i rekon the principle would be the same for n/a... without going for outright power, you can still make it quicker, eg a lightened flywheel sorta ideas..

they shoudl increase acceleration... or even maybe a auto diff.

hey guys thanks for the info, i was thinking the 6 throttle bodies however that would cost a shit load of fuel as well, maybe in the future. Boxhead where does the thermo fan go ? yeah lightened flywheel sounds like a next modification. but ur right, Shit load of money, maybe i will swap for a turbo :)

thermo fan just replaces your clutch fan... basically its electric instead of using your engine to powe r the fan,

the clutch fan is the big fan at the front that cools radiator..

i got the top of the line 'ice' model 16' and it feels fine.. but $200 bucks.. ohwell.

Why would six throttle bodies cost more in fuel? It'll give better response because the throttle butterflies are placed closer to the valves, but shouldn't affect fuel economy at all.

Agree with slip though, if you want good performance from a NA motor, you'd better be willing to fork out some serious cash compared to the same performance from forced induction.

For 50hp over dead stock

NA: Extractors, full exhaust, headwork, perhaps shave the head for a bit more compression. You've altered the characteristics of the engine so you should remap the ECU. At a guess that might give you 50hp, I dunno off the top of my head.

Turbo: Cat back or turbo back exhaust, wastegate bleed.

Hey, how much do you guys think that throttle boddies and trumpets for a RB25DE would cost?

my to do mod list goes like this

* Cobe Extractors

* Box For Pod With Cold Air

* Throttle Boddies W/ Trumpets

* A'PEXi SAFC

* Dyno Tune

already got

* Kakimoto 2.3/4" cat back exhaust system

* Pod filter

it came on my car but ive seen them advertised for around 1500 dollars, not a cheapy. Its not a real loud exaust but gives the car a nice deep note, and apparently adds between 12 and 18kw's "apparently" id like to see dyno figures.

guys, previously with my old n/a i was thinking about getting a good exhuast... basically i was told by many here, plus the boys at subzero that it isnt worth spending the big dollars on that department, as mandrel bends wont matter that much on an n/a car... your local muffler joint should be able to make you one..

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
