Has anyone done this yet lol???

That's gotta be the single dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

No one will ever do that because people with the kind of money required are 100% retarded.

yeah that was pretty silly..

So how about a 7.0 litre turbo diesel v8 instead...

A much better idea.

Imagine the torque of a 7L v8 turbo diesel. 1000nm+

300kmph at 2500rpm...lol

I remember reading a story on a twin turbo diesel v8 in a Camaro or something a while back..

The guy who owned it said it does LAZY 10 sec quarters

And diesels sound awesome with a bit of work and a big exhaust.

I need this weeks Powerball to do it. But it can and has been done. Z-Cars in the UK took a Cerbera and put GTR running gear in it. I would do it to a Sagaris, with RB28 and some punchy little twins for 450awkws :)

The other car I would kill to build up...

Take one late model Exige and combine

With

And a few parts from the Lotus Motorsports parts bin to create

Full space frame and AWD from a GTR. Should handle fine. Also, TVRs handle just fine, well the Griffiths, T350, Speed 6, Cerbera etc all do (late model stuff) Its just that hacks cant get their heads around driving 400hp rwd cars that weight 1000kgs ( i include myself in the Hack Dept :) )

I have often thought about a mid engined V8 Mazda MX-6 :)

This, Twin Turbo Lotus V8,

Plus, this

They are a good looking car, and even havea reasonable V6 as standard which you could throw in the back with a few turbos :)

I do have in mind the ultimate engine transplant for my lil R32, but I wont make a peep as its actually no more expensive then a rebuilt RB26 with some good fruit....and one day I may actually do it :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
