Some of you may have read my thread on "I'm looking at a 180sx tomorrow" well the owner of that car John Duggan, has a tuff 180sx making about 310rwkw (you may have read the write up in the new HPI mag), any who the write goes on to say, that with some turning and some more boost, he may have about 340rwkw. Any who, as this guy is a wanker, as he put his price up on his 180sx, dad now wants a car with more rwkw's than him:rolleyes: so what mods and how much would it cost to get this much from his rb25det?

Later

Josh.

do it all

hehe

well we have the zost, fmic and pod, but when we do the turbo upgrade will we get a plenum and do all the fuel stuff.

Nismo I love your dads attitude :-)

a rebuild is required.so you might be better to find another block to start work with. just a block fit full rb26 crank and rods and forged pistons. you will need a large turbo like a t78 or so cams plenium and head work your motor and turbo will need to handle around 1.6 1.8 bar of boost.

you will need to sit down with some one and plan for it. it is very do able . forget the rb30 combo they dont fit in silvias properly.

the easier way is to fit a big single turbo rb26.

budget for 15 -20 k

pm me if you want more info

cheers

u gotta get that power to the ground

youll need good suspension

perhaps a better gbox

diff

n stuff like that

340rwkw is alot of power

yeah, 340+rwkws is a lot of power to get to the ground, and in a silvia, it's going to be even harder. A better box (maybe some thing like those OS gears?) and some form of diff.

the 25 swap is fine let your old man drive the thing for a while.

then you can do the mods you can use an rb26 if you want. you just need to plan it a bit more with the rb25 thats all remember forced was a rb 25 so its very do able .

the box might need a gear set. get the rb25 running then start to plan. you can do alot of the upgrades and still make 260-280 on the stock bottom end. then you need todecided if you want to go that step further. cause thats the big one

cheers

Drop an rb26 in it with 2530's or 2540's it will have less lag.

One quick lap around the block, and he won't shut up about it :)

You're starting to sound like a broken record Kabab :lol:

Your dad would look cooler in a GTR than in a Silvia :) :)

I never said we have millions of dollars. yeah, sure GTR's look cooler, but dads just being different with the silvia.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
