so ive been working on my rb build for about a year now and had a few motors in this 240sx. i first got it running back in Jan for bout 3 wks but the transmission broke so sourcing parts and research took awhile so i just bought one. then while the car was down i desided to put another turbo in it. i went from a 50 trim which i made 520 whp to a turbonetics T72 turbo which i have right set to 15psi (dont know the exact hp) i had 880 injectors and replaced with 1000's (im on e85) the other motor had a lil bit of a porting job when i got the motor, head gasket, greddy timing belt, head studs, r34 rb25 n/a short block. now that motor was ok on power(at the time i thought was really good) it was a lil bit sluggish in the off boost parts. well after i had put the new turbo and injectors on that motor i had took it out and not knowing one of my fuel pumps failed and BAM there goes cyc #6. so i got a new motor completely stock in put it in there with the same aftermarket parts with the same tune and this motor rocks hard. so far on my tune im getting that turbo to be at full spool on 15 psi at 4800 rpms an redline to 7k( will raise when i change the belt, its loose). idk the power but it fells ALOT better than the other setup by far i dont much pic of the car but ill show you the work over time and what happened to it after the last motor blew, it caught on fire. i will post new pic of my new setup prob tonight

this is at the car show in Jan old setup

^ lol :(

As for the power/turbo 385rwkw/520rwhp with boost (only 15psi) coming on 4800rpm - did i read that correctly?

If so, that's fairly average mate.

Also did i read that it's running on a stock motor as well?

What trans did you use? 25box?

I'm not sure any rebuilt SR box will take that for very long

I did come across the original build from some US car forums, and she's the actual mechanic who made this happening from scratch. Pretty amazing for a chick.

Bit sexist yeah?

I know chicks who rebuild 800hp twin supercharged diesels in tanks way better than what I could.

I loved watching the Dutch birds, nothing better than a blonde big boobied girl hanging out the top of a tank whilst she drives it around trying to look menacing, even war stops to watch..........

Looks good, should get it up on the dyno and post up a dyno sheet.

2nd girl in those pics is....yuck lol.

and i like the wheels, what sort are they?

sorry bout the delay, i was very sick. the wheels are called venaci they come out of the same factory as rays and are from japan

^ lol :D

well on 15psi is prob around 500whp but the motor is stock and the tranny is an rb25 aswell

nice looking S14, and I don' say that often :D

thanks im working on making it better looking.

i just turned up the boost to 18 psi and boy was that alot to handle. i love this car. it feels like it still has room to go but i like her to have alot of life in her.

I think I have an .96 ar housing or 1.09 ar housing on a t72. The Q is, what size should I go down to to make it spool up round 4000 rpm. It spools now at 4900. I was thinking somewhere around a .81 r .84 but didn't know know if that will be to small

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
