Then suddenly you make it stock for stock, then it's suddenly an exhaust + boost vs a modified Honda, now it's "let's use completely stripped out and worked honda's to show how awesome they are"

I have no problem with the whole they can go, but really, they don't for all the hype they get.

Like comeon, why buy a honda, bolt ons and strip it to run 12s, when instead you could buy a commodore, throw an exhaust on, wack a cam in, and go run flat 11s?

That vid was in answer to the stripped K20A Civic racing a 400hp Supra, people called BS - so I showed what a K20 Civic in a stripped EG goes like. I realise its different to what the threads about, but hey other people are doing it so why not :) The engine internals in that Civic are completely stock...

In terms of changing what I am commenting on, its in response to other people... I've just been keeping the facts straight. I obviously own a Skyline and prefer it as my toy, if you'd been paying attention you'd realise depending on the level of mods I was actually saying the Skyline would win by a fair margain... just correcting people when they make statements which are a bit misguided :P

I didn't say cars full stop, but its clearly obvious you and a lot of the other people here know very little about Hondas.... that Civic is powered by the same motor as in the car this thread is about and as I have mentioned before, have huge potential with boltons.

I was pretty much expected people to be in denial about that K20A vid, so here's another which shows a time etc:

113mph is NOT no top end, I am unaware of anyone getting that kind of trap speed using a stock turbo on an RB25 without NOS... so no, I don't have trouble understanding what people are trying to tell me - I'm just making the mistake of getting into a debate with someone who clearly knows so little about the topic that they don't realise they're wrong.

Slicks??? stripped and modded.

shitload of headwork to get that time im sure but kudos to the car, love the k20 motor n given credit where due but its jst the honda fanboys who believe they are the be-all and end all of performance is what rattles my tree. lolz

anyways: skyline or supra with slicks, stripped, running a high flow turbo and supporting mods would probably run that same time or better for cheaper.

I really wanna see both unstripped, both manual, both on street tyres then we can compare n give a congrats to the quicker car.

Agreed - fanboys (and haters) both annoy me a lot which is what is driving me to respond to this thread a lot. That car will have no headwork, a mate of mine hit 11s with an EG Civic with a completely unopened K20A - yes stripped and on slicks though. He put some big cams in there (bolted in, no headwork) and got an 11.3 out of it.

Agreed - which is why I mentioned stock turbo.

Yeah that would be very interesting, I'd say it should be a good race. Still haven't changed my view on it - stock for stock it'd be close, exhaust and filter on both the R33 starts getting the edge, but exhaust and filter on one and not the other would result in the more modded one winning.

    • I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks
    • lol, probably should have read further!
    • Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4
    • I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
