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

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
