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.

    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
    • Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that. 
    • Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.
    • Any G40/1000 or G40/1250 results out there?  
    • You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
