hey guys,

never meant to rebuild my 20 but it cracked a head so i built a new one

it has

-completely reconditioned head..valve grind and seals etc

-ACL race series main and big end bearings

-Mahle piston rings

-Cometic 1.2mm metal head gasket

-Every seal and gasket replaced

-GTR injectors

-Adjustable cam gears

-Gates Racing Triple Strength Timing Belt

-Getting the ECU retuned by MRC Performance with the nistune software

now it comes to turbo...hmmmm

dont have heaps of money so i cant afford the garrett i wanted

someone through work offered me an unused KKR560 turbo for a price i couldnt refuse

IS IT TOO LAGGY? its about the same size as a Garrett 3076

I dont care if it spools up to full boost at about 4000-4500rpm just not much later

advice pls

To laggy IMHO. RB20 doesn't spool dtuff real well. What kind of stuff do you want to do with the car? If you went to the trouble to go forged internals on a RB20, one might assume you are chasing power levels that would involve turbo's that are going to be laggy anyways. Did you already buy it? Is it bolt on, or are you planning on a manifold and external gate or something. If your going to the trouble of a top mount and external wastegate anyways on a budget, I'm a big fan of Holset turbo's. Search on this board and you'll find some info. HX35 sounds like it would be right up your alley.

Also, can you please remove the HEEELP! from the title since you, in fact, don't actually need urgent help of any kind and you are just asking a question. I'm so sick of clicking on stuff like that expecting so see somebody needing urgent help with something like a blown motor or "I can't get this back together!" and seeing a question about which turbo or what blow off valve.

Sorry bout that i was looking at buying it then and there almost so i did want urgent help but point taken.

have decided to go with the humble KKR430

want to a tough street car with good circuit and drift ability so got all that stuff plus recaro seat and full whiteline catalog almost lol

also my speedo just randomly stopped working...not the drive in the gearbox or the bottom of the cable...new dash needed maybe?

Can you see the nib spinning around inside the dash portion if you have somebody below the car spinning the other end of the cable?

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
