Hi everyone. what would be the best engine specs for a r33 gts-t using rb25det that is for the track. i guess what i mean is.... whats the best combo for power to weight. i'm not just after kw i want to built (or stock standard ?) a reliable/strong/ balanced/smooth rb25det engine for track and drift. .... i was thinking neo with minor mods, am i right?

Age old question - how much power and how serious about weight reduction...

one does offset the other.

The motorsport section does have some good threads on this actually - have a check through that section also mate

A 2835 bagging you about 260-270rwkws or perhaps a 30307ProS running a bit less boost using the std manifold would be my pick for a reliable and quick track GTSt.

Oh, and sick R31, the DJR Sierra was quicker over a lap in qualifying :( The VL Walkinshaw beat it at Bathust in 1990 so lets not take this off thread on the first page. :P

If this is a serious thread then i would do as follows:

Strip the car completely

Cage

Good suspension package

Larger sump

Upgraded oil pump

And all the bolt ons for about the 450hp range.

Should be a fun track car. And relatively cheap.

"A circuit car for the track"

:blink:

lol

On a more serious note, by what you've written I am guessing you haven't been to the track many times.

I would suggest going to the track lots of times and slowly modding the car in the process so its right for you...

End goal for a track car- make it as light as possible which will mean you need smaller brakes and less power to go fast than keeping it full weight. You will also chew through less R compound tyres which are very expensive.

Mods: Wide wheels with good R comp tyres, I would then probably stick a hks2835/garrett 3071R t3 with cams and supporting mods and get some proper suspension, swaybars, camber/toe/castor rods and put a good set of pads and then just keep winding in more boost until you have enough power.

I would do the suspension and brake modifications first before adding any more power at all. Its pretty hard to learn in a car that is too much better/faster than your ability. (evo exempted :P)

buy my car and put an oil cooler on it, strip interior and maybe go stiffer in the suspension... HKS 2835, Brembos, R34 GTR wheels, Cusco diff, swaybars, Bilsteins (too soft for serious track work), Hi Energy bigger/baffled sump, N1 pumps, GTR rods, etc etc

seriously I am taking delivery of a GTR on Fri so I want it gone... 14K and its yours, another 1-2K spent on it and you have yourself a nice package

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
