I have a R31 skyline with a RB30E NA, and that thing pisses on SR20DE manuals.. And i dont have much mods on it, just exhaust, pod, timing etc.. I know its a skyline forum, but i would go with the silvia if the car was going to be NA. Better power/weight, a bit sluggish as well, but not as sluggish as a 1500kg NA 2.5L :D

im not at all biased, my mait easily has one of the nicest looking silvia's ive every seen, it will out corner my car neday. but just doesnt have the feel of my car on the road. It is also the NA CA18DE and well lets just say its a joke.

ok cross my heart...

Cold morning...

@ 3 lane hwy...

@ light; goes Green

we took off

Silvia was faster at the take off about a 1/3 length...

then as soon as I hit 3k rpm and over in 2nd and I was pulling infront of him, just saw him pass my right hand view mirro...

there was two people in the car in skyline, there was only driver in silvia....

we both backed off at 4th gear 4000rpm... :(

*this was happen @ private road*

cheers

ya know u ask this question in a silvia forum u'll get a different answer. alot of what is said here is biased and thats no shit. being a fan of both silvias/skylines i think the sr20de is rather good and would go alright. as for people saying they piss over ca18det's in rb25de's well then i think someones pulling their chains. cause a good driver of a turbo ca is not slow thats for sure

mm definately go na rb over na sr (105kW & 178Nm or 117kW for s14 sr20) or ca (100kW & 159Nm) (cough laugh)

power isnt the only figure to quote here guys, you gotta think torque aswell - the rb 25 shits all over either of the 4 cylinders just cos its got the extra 2 cylinders - 142kw and 231Nm of torque means it is not a slow car -sure not as fast as the turbo- u'll get a manual under 7 sec with mods - and whoever is quoting 1500kg for a 33 i think is a bit off - i'm sure mine doesnt weigh anything like that - otherwise i wouldnt be able to whoop vs commodores with a totally stock car (not nemore tho) which weigh in at 1430kg would i?

u also gotta consider longevity - the rb 6 is gonna rev for longer than a ca 4 and probably as long as an sr (before i get pm's telling me the sr is 'bulletproof') not too mention value holding - as soon as the 15yr '89 model silvias come over next year cya lata silvia values

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
