Rb26 Powered S15

[Jules80]

Hi guys im new to this forum

Starting on this new project..and would like your thoughts/comments.

Not going too crazy with the mods:

R33 Gtst gearbox

S14a rear diff

HKS 28/35 TURBOS

upgraded fuel system etc..

custom fab for intercooler and piping

Car is at Advan, expect a 4-6 month build, will post photos of the build

[Jules80]

would like some feedback about the Hypertune plenum also......

[Goi-turbo]

Hello! Let photo, will look that with a car is done.

I'd suggest going with an r33 4.11 rear diff. You need the abs model for it to fit in an s15. The s14 3.9 is a bit tall when your going to have a fair bit of lag and a lot of power.

keen to here more about the build, keep it up.

may have issues clearing clutch master... ooh and say goodbye to the nice chassis balance you had with the SR

You can use a gtr style radiator cooler and piping kit, no need for custom if your budget is stretched. Here are some pics of the old setup (T517Z, GTR radiator, cooler kit and piping kit unmodified). I will post up the latest pics 2moro with the K5 and greddy plenum (which fouls the clutch slave badly).

not going too crazy hey... except for the 800hp worth of turbos your putting on!

at least it will do awesome skids lol

Yep - about all it'll be good for is making clouds of that addictive rubber odour

x2. Friend of mine has one with a monster turbo set up on it, he can barely make 1/2 throttle in 4th without it smoking the rears up.

Very cool, but IMHO very pointless if you cant enjoy that power.

Smoking 4th at 1/2 throttle could be a very enjoyable way to use the power..

4th gear wheel spin at half throttle??? this i need to see to believe

Ok i tell a tall tale slightly. It was on a damp racetrack

Every time he went passed i was waiting for full boost, gentle 2nd, gentle 3rd spool spool, 4th, spool spool smoke smoke sideways sideways, back off.

Put it into the kitty litter once and buried it up to the sills

Cant remember the exact specs, but it did have a reasonably large high mount. So im guessing the lag, and maybe sudden power doesnt help? Not sure.

It was very easy to keep up with him in my stock turbo R33. Most amazing thing to watch tho ever time he got on the power it just spun the wheels, made orgasmic noises and didnt get any further infront of me haha

I can believe it would turn tyres.

Mine would turn coming onto boost in 3rd with 370rwkw and that was just on the freeway, just as it ramped up - traction disappeared.

And my grip is quite good (280rwkw, never brakes traction at all unless im savage in 1st to 2nd gearchange)

So with 2835's you are looking at worse than what i was getting.

[Hopeyz]

post plenty of pics, really enjoy engine swaps. and the amount of work needed, just wish i had the time and money

[STATUS]

here are the pics with the larger plenum, rear of plenum fouls the clutch master and both require about 3mm worth of shaving (6mm total). I also slotted the engine mounts and carriers.

please bear in mind the car is dummied together for dynoing and is not complete and tidy.

Yeah I was going to say it looks a bit shabby

[STR8E180]

if ur gonna use a R33 GTST gearbox u should use a skyline diff as well so ur diff ratio is matched to ur gearbox

This is the T51R SPL RB26 one that was at Taupo? Its not very sensible Yeah RWD with over 400rwkw without drag radials isn't a good idea, Ashleys 25t on normal road tyres had no traction in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and the increase in traction in 4th actually made it seem more dangerous than the lower gears. Something very unnerving about passing 160kph and the back end starting to wander!

Yeah i guess thats the one Lith! White?

Dam impressive car. Looks amazing too.

U'll never get power to the ground with twin GT2835's on a rear wheel drive. Sure you don't want somethin a bit smaller like garrett -5's? Will still make 400 at the wheels easy and way less lag.
