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.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
