That GTST is a 2.8 not a 2.5

REgardless of what it is its living proof that a gtr is actually a handicap if you are going for all out 1/4 mile times.

There is simply no need to hump the extra weight around when a properly set up rear wheel drive can give you the whole 9 yards.

As for the ultimate 25...Ultimate for what ?I think I went damn close to building the ultimate allrounder, Just do a solid lifter conversion then build it the same as any rb.

We ended up with 400rwkw on pump with a 35r and full boost by 3800 rpm.

It was an amazing engine and just never stopped pulling all the way to the redline (8500)

I only did one 1/4 mile pass with it for a net of 11.3@125 mph. I have no doubt it had 10's with very little work.

I do like the current 30 i am running but i miss that 25.

Thats what ill be getting made next i think.

3800rpm is impressive for a 35R.

Its all in the head mate. The head was a work of art but sadly it went to god when we dropped a valve spring.

In the process of building another solid converted head for the 30 right now actually.

What cams and exhaust housing on the turbo were you using?

I'm trying to plan out the build on my RB25DET NEO in my 34, with 300-320rwkW being the initial plan with more desired come rebuild time (more revs).

>82 rear housing. tomei cams. 10.25 lift. 260 degree inlet duration, 270 degree exhaust.

Your power figure is very doable. If you want to start going beyond that then you must get the planets to align.

Port match everything from the throttle body to the dump pipe, Fat ignition system etc etc.

Yeah I'm leaning on 3076R with .6 housing, merge collector manifold, 260 Tomei cams in/ex, NissTune, 18 psi and all the supporting fuel and intake/exhaust mods.

My mates car just pulled 330rwkW on 18psi with basically that set up on a Neo so it definitely works.

If I could get a 35/40 on song by 3800rpm, I'd just throw one of them on the car straight away, but without serious head work I don't think it'd have a chance of flowing like that.

You got a build thread FineLine? Would be greatly interested to have a read of it and look at your development path.

I dont have a build thread as such mate. it just evolved over a fairly long period of trial and error.

The real key IMO is the head. RB heads have an inherent flow mismatch between between the inlet and the exhaust. The inlet flows almost twice the exhaust side and anything you can do to even it up helps immensely.

Porting by a competent porter, valve size, cam selection all play a part. Get it right and the rb will ooze power.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
