told ya that you wont be changing much for regency

lol, i went through 2 1/2 months ago and it cost $13,000, this is what i needed

stock bov

new eye level brake light, (spoiler light)

teins lifted, sleaved and engineered

new powersteering pump, it was leaking oil

new exhaust, old 1 was to loud

remove turbo timer, boost controller

remove gauges of A pillar

check steering wheel out, its an isotta so it was all good

stock bov to be fitted

things i had done whilst in shop:

full service and tune

new clutch

i had 4 defect stickers on my car, lol, and also i had to pay $68.50 to give them a f**king peice of paper (engineeres report) they r f**king flamin mongrels there, i hate that place, rip off government, but hows this when i went through they wre telling me that they got a holden straight off the production line and defected it???? what are the 5-0 driving around in?????? i think they should practice their preaching, bunch of cock stain he government and police r, not the blokes at regancy themselves, they r pretty cool, just following there rules, sorry for offtopic there, just make sure everything is in working order and legal, or u may aswell bend over and take it in the ass

Now i dont know why you bothered with it mate

$13K is a price of a 33 now anyway

and i dont know why you got your coilovers engineered.

i got mine through regency and i would be happy to say it all sent me back prob abt $800max

and i had to remove and change a lot of things on mine

that cost you 13 grand? dang. the bold text is my guestimate

new eye level brake light, (spoiler light) $200 ~

teins lifted, sleaved and engineered <$1500 ~

new powersteering pump, it was leaking oil <$500

new exhaust, old 1 was to loud shove a sandwich plate between the gasket $20

remove turbo timer, boost controller DIY

remove gauges of A pillar DIY

check steering wheel out, its an isotta so it was all good

stock bov to be fitted <$100

things i had done whilst in shop:

full service and tune

new clutch $1000ish

eye level brake light was 300, clutch was 900, teins were 1700 all up, and regancy wouldnt let them past without engineeres report, service and tune was 1200, also just membered that i had to get a new heater core which was 1100, exhaust was 2000, alot of it i needed anyway, and i did want the car there but when it f**ked up i couldnt be f**ked with it anymore, it was the last thing my perants bought me b4 they died pretty much, thats y i spent the money, it was a huge head f**k going through regancy, lol, and all the shit i got new instead of second hand shit, thats y is cost me $13,000 i guess, i know it was stupid but it did have sentimental value and now i just cant be bothered with it anymore, so now its for sale

    • So it's a ginormous undertaking that will be a massive headache but will be sorta cool if pulled off right. And also expensive. I'm sure it'll be as expensive as buying the car itself. I don't think you could just do this build without upgrading other things to take the extra power. Probably lots of custom stuff as well. All this assuming the person has mechanical knowledge. I'm stupid enough to try it but smart enough to realize there's gonna be mistakes even with an experienced mechanic. I'm a young bloke on minimum wage that gets dopamine from air being moved around and got his knowledge from a Donut video on how engines work.]   Thanks for the response though super informative!
    • Yes, it is entirely possible to twincharge a Skyline. It is not....without problems though. There was a guy did it to an SOHC RB30 (and I think maybe it became or already was a 25/30) in a VL Commode. It was a monster. The idea is that you can run both compressors at relatively low pressure ratios, yet still end up with a quite large total pressure ratio because they multiply, not add, boost levels. So, if the blower is spun to give a 1.4:1 PR (ie, it would make ~40 kPa of boost on its own) and the turbo is set up to give a 1.4:1 PR also, then you don't get 40+40 = 80 kPa of boost, you get 1.4*1.4, which is pretty close to 100 kPa of boost. It's free real estate! This only gets better as the PRs increase. If both are set up to yield about 1.7 PR, which is only about 70 kPa or 10ish psi of boost each, you actually end up with about 1.9 bar of boost! So, inevitably it was a bit of a monster. The blower is set up as the 2nd compressor, closest to the motor, because it is a positive displacement unit, so to get the benefit of putting it in series with another compressor, it has to go second. If you put it first, it has to be bigger, because it will be breathing air at atmospheric pressure. The turbo's compressor ends up needing to be a lot larger than you'd expect, and optimised to be efficient at large mass flows and low PRs. The turbo's exhaust side needs to be quite relaxed, because it's not trying to provide the power to produce all the boost, and it has to handle ALL the exhaust flow. I think you need a much bigger wastegate than you might expect. Certainly bigger than for an engine just making the same power level turbo only. The blower effectively multiplies the base engine size. So if you put a 1.7 PR blower on a 2.5L Skyline, it's like turboing a 4.2L engine. Easy to make massive power. Plus, because the engine is blown, the blower makes boost before the turbo can even think about making boost, so it's like having that 4.2L engine all the way from idle. Fattens the torque delivery up massively. But, there are downsides. The first is trying to work out how to size the turbo according to the above. The second is that you pretty much have to give up on aircon. There's not enough space to mount everything you need. You might be able to go elec power steering pump, hidden away somewhere. but it would still be a struggle to get both the AC and the blower on the same side of the engine. Then, you have to ponder whether you want to truly intercool the thing. Ideally you would put a cooler between the turbo and the blower, so as to drop the heat out of it and gain even more benefit from the blower's positive displacement nature. But that would really need to be a water to air core, because you're never going to find enough room to run 2 sets of boost pipes out to air to air cores in the front of the car. But you still need to aftercool after the blower, because both these compressors will add a lot of heat, and you wil have the same temperature (more or less) as if you produced all that boost with a single stage, and no one in their right mind would try to run a petrol engine on high boost without a cooler (unless not using petrol, which we shall ignore for the moment). I'm of the opinnion that 2x water to air cores in the bay and 2x HXs out the front is probably the only sensible way to avoid wasting a lot of room trying to fit in long runs of boost pipe. But the struggle to locate everything in the limited space available would still be a pretty bad optimisation problem. If it was an OEM, they'd throw 20 engineers at it for a year and let them test out 30 ideas before deciding on the best layout. And they'd have the freedom to develop bespoke castings and the like, for manifolds, housings, connecting pipes to/from compressors and cores. A single person in a garage can either have one shot at it and live with the result, or spend 5 years trying to get it right.
    • Good to know, thank you!
    • It's a place for non car talk. There's whoretown which is general shit talking. But also other threads coving all sorts of stuff(a lot still semi car related)
    • Looked it up. It sounds so expensive lmao I'd rather not. Awwwww but I just love that sound
