Excited.......

[Spooner]

My car is finally going in to be tuned by Mercury Motorsports next friday the 18th and I just felt like sharing my excitement with everyone, lol. its been a very expensive 4 months and I will be happy with 270rwkw, although I am told they might be able to get 300rwkw out of her with the mods I got. And I hope to make the motor last as long as possible.

I plan on running around everyday on 9psi and cranking it upto whatever they tune it to when I need the extra grunt. I know 300rwkw is nothing special, but for me its 4 months of pain and suffering paying off finally. I will be at the East Coast Customs dyno day and I cant wait to hear it screaming away on the dyno with new turbo.

anyways, hope to meet a few more of you around the traps when I finally get back out and about

so what did you get done to your car?

[bazr33]

haha i am in the same situation as you man.

I havent been able to drive my car since february last year. 5 months waiting for my car to get out of the workshop, and now its at a dyno to see what happens.

300rwkw is my goal being still standard internals, but have a forged engine getting done at the moment.

Been fairly stressed out most of the time hahaha, but hope everything pays off. Best of luck for your car.

sounds exciting!! 300kw is a nice number congrats if you get it but it might not, you may need cams if you havent got them,but best of luck and im sure you will keep us informed on how she goes.

[Col-GTSX]

You have all the parts to make it... You will get 300rwkw at around 19 psi no worries on stock head and cams...

yeh i just going to be happy with anything over 270 atm until something breaks and i can throw in some forged gear. and do some head work

good to hear buddy, hope it all goes to plan. mine should be rolling on the road soon after yours. but not that much power to start.

nice one. u must be cheering hey?

its relieving to know i'll finally be at the point of achieving the first stage of the build up. most of the work was done by my housemate and myself. I got the intake and dump pipe done at Predator. so its good to know that some of my own blood and sweat has gone into it.

Yeah mate, fresh rebuild most of the things under the bonnet will be new. or near new. and alot of my time and time of people helping me has gone into it. it has been a to two workshops, once for painting and the other for piping, wiring, and some more. but the rest is and will be done in the shed.

i hope it makes it more satisfiying when i drive it.

sounds like a good set up, if your expecting that sortof power from yours can i get an opinion on wat sortof power i might get out of mine:

kkr430

gtr injectors

splitfire coils

z32 AFM with 3in intake

FMIC

full 3in zorst

sard fpr

apexi pod

bosch 040

apexi avc-r

and will be tuned standard ecu by dr drift

i was thinking about 220kws out of the rb20det on hopefully 16psi

anyone think i might get more

i reckon you would get between 220 and 250rwkw. I knew someone up the coast with that turbo, full aftermarket ecu, 850cc injectors, z32 etc making about 275rwkw on an rb25

[Catlin]

well that sounds good^^^

[R33S2]

Its always great to do the work yourself, I hope you get your power but are you aware that over 250kw they are prone to failure? The ringlands are the weakest link in a stock motor but when they fail it is not usually horrific, I have run mine at 370hp (280kw) but with water/metanol for safety, it reduces pinging and gives me much smoother boost.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

Here is a pic of busted ringlands, the motor was sweet except for this.

[subzeroR33]

Well done mate i bet you cant wait, will see you at the dyno day.

i am going to be running that turbo on the 25, with z32, fmic, zhaust, nismo fuel reg, nismo fuel pump.

forged engine though, on 10 psi i want 230ish rwkw. so you should make a little less then that on 16 ish. Dr Drift(sam) will let you know where the car in comfortable to run it at.

[Catlin]

yes i have been onto him alot lately^

[Col-GTSX]

So you get the car back yet???

[Spooner]

So you get the car back yet???

if you're asking me this then no, mine doesnt go in until next friday. hopefully pick it up after lunch on the day.

Hey man

300kw nothing special? I just started out and had my first dyno ever yesterday. Got 122kw atw for an auto R33. If i had 220kw atw i would be giggling daily. Congratulations mate, glad you achieved your goal. Must be happy times round your place.
