i agree. na vs na should be a good battle. but adddin forced fed induction is a whole different ballpark.

my mate imported a na 200sx from japen. i'd LUV to drag him but he wont go me. hes just got a new engine but....maybe he'll go now. btw hes got a $3000 boot setup so im thinkin its over alreadi.

ur not very bright are u...

Did u think about the torque band a turbo gives u??

Also ca18dets dyno at around 5-10kw less at wheels.. so they aint that much slower if the engine is still in good nick.

Aint NO WAY a rb25de will beat a ca18det, its turbo against n/a dude seriously wake up..

Just because its turbo doesn't magically mean that it is a faster car.

The RB25DE has 700cc more displacement, 20kw more power, 5nm more torque, and the sky doesn't weigh THAT much more than the sil. Therefore it has the potential to beat the CA18DET silvia. The linear power delivery from the RB25DE also gives it an advantage.

remind me who wasn't very bright and needs to wake up?

Stock for stock I'd place a bet that they're fairly even.

ps. i thought about the torque band a turbo would give you as you suggested, and then decided that it was crap.

Thats why a rb25de runs 16s n a ca18det Sil runs 15 flat

Its about power delivery my friend, the DET will bring on torque at 3,500rpm ALOT more than an n/a wud have at the same rpm figure.. ie makes it easier to get to its max power quicker.

A Skyline weight is around 200kgs more than an s13.. thats alot dude.

Stock for stock its not much of a match. 0-100 times and 1/4 times prove that.

Doesnt really matter if u agree or not.. go race a ca18det and find out. I understand u have a GTS therefore are abit bias which is fine too dude :D

Just dont expect to much out of an n/a r33. Theres a reason they run 16s..

fair enough, you have a pretty solid argument. i'm going to race a ca18det silvia and report back

and yes i am biased so i will defend my motor: as i said, it has linear delivery, power doesn't suddenly kick in at certain revs. theoretically this should allow a better launch. anyway they're both great cars and i know which i'd prefer for a drift car (sil obviously)

well, I didnt buy R33 GTS-4 for Drags. I looked all the NA cars and skylines had most option and value for money..... beside I like all the imports.

No point arguing for nothing. they are all slow compare to Turbs but no way they get same milage on the fuel.

so lets just calm down girls.

my two cents. :D

thats pretty obvious.. put a Skyline next to an s13.. not much comparison looks wise i dont think!!!

Stock for stock.. modified for modified a nice Skyline will always outdo a s13 in my opinion (180sx can look VERY VERY hot though..) but still not the interior comfort and options u get with a Skyline.

I had an s13 sr20det that was black, lowered on stock wheels, dewinged + debadged. Everyone thought it looked and went way better than any r33 boat.

Its personal opinion. Some silvias might look better than your boat, your boat might look better than most silvias.. because lets face it.. they cost less to buy so their owners cant usually afford to make them look good.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
