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

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.

    • Google says for a 1998 Nissan Maxima to pull/pry, and the metal pin might even come out with it. I'd do a bit more googling, there was a few videos, find some where the shafts/needles appear most similar and compare the techniques.
    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.
