the guy that started this thread now thinks everyone else is being stupid and wants the thread locked? This is so typical of a forum.

On another note. I had Jim tune my drift car last night and he once again provedwhat a guru he is. The guy has more talent than anyone here will ever know.

Fernando Weirhl drove the car and was shocked at how well it drove. its not jsut how much power you make but how you make it.

Jim once said something to me that i will always remember...

"I don't care where they take their cars, because i know they will eventually end up here."

It looked a bit underpowered to me but for all I know it had a stock turbo.

Does nobody like Rigoli/Vince Rigoli? Seems to be a fairly large shop that hasn't been mentioned?

Rigoli custom built my neighbours car which is a 69 Capri with a Cosworth turbo race motor, and has always been beyond happy with Vince's work. My neighbour calibrates hospital equipment for a living, has an unbelievable attention to detail, and is extremely picky, but has never had a bad word to say about Vince.

I used them a couple of times when i had the 33, and again not a single bad word about them. Not the cheapest around, but neither are alot of the others mentioned and as said you get what you pay for.

I'm actually considering going to Vince to turbo my V35, as i know he has turbo'd many NA cars before with great results.

Yeah I was unaware he tuned lines either!

But seems to be good!

Bobby - yes, turbo the V35 :cool:

If it stays with me, then there's a chance.

Looked into a HKS twin kit, which basically has all parts for around $6-$7k. Bolt in on, tune, and an instant safe 300rwkw!!!! :laugh:

From the cars I've seen come out of Rigoli I would call them forced induction experts rather than Skyline experts. A mate supercharged a corolla thorugh them with stunning results, and again my ex neighbours car is beyond comment.

This is the Capri. When he was next door, I used to get a hard on hearing this thing start up on a Sunday morning!

my drift car isnt underpowered, its over gripped!!! Its going back for full tune this Saturday and gets cams next Saturday

But which turbo, and don't you think you should put the cams in BEFORE the tune? I don't know heaps about SR's but I know what I like.

Bobby, you need to have a little chat with Jim at Dart and ask him about some of the wild things he can do with a VQ :)

You know you want a stroker :D

Nooo, leave me alone Nick, I'm trying to sell it not get more ideas :-)

I've seen a couple in the US, and they are crazy!!!

Being just a V35 though, it's a big investment and to do it will have to decide to keep the car, well, for ever!

This Nick (me) is with that Nick (Blitz). C'mon, Bobby, you know you want to!!!

haha, what is this the Nick and Nick show :)

Well it got me thinking and looked into it abit. The parts for a stroker kit (3.5l going to 4.2l) will set me back around $6000. That's for a full kit, all parts needed. Then you have to factor in machine shop work, plus the actual install.

I also found a stroked engine to 4.2l with HKS twin turbo for $15k plus delivery from the US.

Now if i win lotto, expect to see that on the car.

but, again leave me alone, I'm trying to sell it!!!!

I believe Jim's quote regarding the VQ stroker TT was 'easy 1000HP' :)

Just enough for an enjoyable daily driver.

*edited by admin* let it go paul. you are only going to end up banned again if you don't learn from your warnings

for goodness sake...i was only trying to help the fella...so he didn't cop it from you guys like i did...edited my post but left his there...go figure? and my post didn't mention anything slanderous or defamatory.

this is starting to get beyond a joke.

i think an explanation via pm would be helpful as the rules are very blurred if that post was at all out of line.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
