Let's make this the ultimate resource for naturally aspirated information. Discuss NA specific stuff such as exhaust....and generally how best to make more power.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

First topic: NO2

It's hard to get decent power gains from the RB25DE without spending big bucks. As much as it makes me sound like "rice", I figure NO2 is probaby to cheapest way to cut my quarter mile time. I'm thinking of running a 50-70hp shot. Has anyone else looked into or done this?

Thanks guys!

Greg

Sub zero told me to use NO2 aswell, they rekon a 100HP shot, holding it for the 1/4 will give me a flat 13...

there is no doubt about it, its the best price per gain ratio...

but still a) its illegal, and B) it can wreck yoru engine...

umm.. the things that come to mind for n/a cars(i have one).. are: extractors..

cold air induction....

if you keep you wheels smaller it will have a better gearing ratio or some crap.. and lighter...

lighten the weight of the car, ( or as stated in wasteland, ourselves)

if you have some money behind you, then you can look at stroking you engine to a higher capacity..

What is the stock RB25 N/A Power output?

cheers

i got 96rwkw on the dyno but my car hasnt had like an oil change or the timing done since i got it (gonna service and tune soon hopefully)

i dont really know anything about 1/4 mile stuff and NO2

im not really in the running to make my car super fast

i want to make it faster but i wanna keep it to track (i can most probebly outperform someone on a turn with my leet hax0r shocks hehe)

if you use no2 properly it shouldnt root your engine.

things that i have done that improve acceleration:

Extractors and full exhaust system

Gutting cat (bad idea though, highly illegal)

Advance the timing so far that it will ping on anything less that 98 octane :D

Give the intake air the simplest route to the throttle body

Strip weight

Take radiator fan off and replace with thremo fan

Remove a/c belt (and system:see strip weight)

Many people have said the rb25de is not great for powering up, but i have been building the ultimate non turbo rb in my head.

RB30 block with 11:1 pistons

RB25DE R32 Head/ecu etc : Ported, dowelled intake/exhaust manifolds, cams, adj cam gears, lightened rods/crank, lightened flywheel plus all above mods, dyno tuned. FAT midrange (for what it is) great engine for drift and punching out of corners.

N/A you need cubes, thats all there is to it.

I have no idea how you tell if its Type-S or not, I was just going by the information at:

http://imports.motortraders.net.au/imports...yline&period=79

Basically Type-S has an LSD plus a few other goodies that adds an extra 10kg compared to the GTS25.

I hope this helps,

Greg

the thing on my list would be cold air intake. extractors (a good jap brand) the cams then if you get serious pull the head off and port and polish it. play with a cam gear as you can only use 1 on the exhaust. then consider an ecu remapp from a jap tuning house,(1k or so). I have heard of 128 rwkw out of an N/A rb25.

the next and biggest step in an rb25/30 N/A I have spoken to 2 peopleabout this and they do make good power. its expensive though.

N/A is not all bad

All of the above and try multiple throttle bodies. Can't get a much tougher look than six big fat trumpets hangin off the side of your engine. Great amounts of torque, bulk rev,s huge noise, if you don't have an airbox, and the crisppest throttle response you've ever had. Trust me it's the way to go. Done it on my old car..:burnout:

finally a place for us NA boys can swap info....

i tried to start one in the SDU site but no1 seem to interested in the NA

hmmmmm...... Nos huh!?!?... interesting concept, any1 got info on how much that'll cost to setup???

i dunno the exact specs of my car but ive got one of those g-tech type things in the car and it also measures the 0-400m time as well as trip meter, digital speedo(mph/kph).....anyways, im constantly getting low 15sec - mid 15sec passes, does that sound right??

any other ideas on how to get the grunt outta the na RB25 without whacking on the turbo or super charger????

Not about performance, but there is a maroon NA r33 in Perigian that floggs the pants off my r33gtst. When I raced him he was carrying 3 large guys in the car, I was empty.

At every set of lights we came to, he absolutely left me for dead. When we pulled over at the servo, he then told me it was NA. I couldn't believe it. He opened the bonnet and sure enough it was NA. I asked him what was done to it and he said he didn't know, as it was like this when he imported it.

After that we cruised up to Noosa, one the way he decided to race a stroked 308. Well I was sitting on 190, and they both disappeared into the distance. I didn't meet up with him again after that, so I don't know what speeds they were doing, but would have to be well in excess of 240/250km/h.

Well to be honest I would love to see some really tough NA's getting around - even more pie in the face when you beat commodores at the light :D

my friend went to the drags .... he's ok driver ... he can beat up wrxs and rx7s....he has an R33 GTS25t ser1 with gtr kit and usual zorst and filter upgrades, any ways lines up against another R33 (not knowing its NA) it beats him about 1car length!!.... we couldnt believe it!! the engine bay looked stockies!! :D

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
