I alway liked the Soarer, and I was looking at many Soarers for sale ..

Eventually I bought a Skyline since it had more 'easy' potential for tuning.

Shame was that I wanted the V8-package but the Twin-Turbo engine.

(I saw nothing special in a big luxery cruiser with a V8)

:)

lol...

Well in the 15months ie had the Soarer I have changed the plugs twice and made an air guide for the airbox and thats it

Yeah it looks the good, my only concern is the cut back turbine wheel compared to the 83-75, will have to try and find back to back results to see whether the extra power will overrule the extra lag lol.

the 9179 has the cut back wheel.

the 8875 has the same wheel as the 8375 but with "cupped" blades instead of straight.

Righto thought id post a small amount of data

BW 83/75 on a twin scroll manifold

Ended up running out of fuel by maxing out the injectors and fuel pump but upgrades are on the way along with E85 :thumbsup:

Yavuz wont give me a graph untill the thing is making full power hahah

anyway engine is a forged 2.6 with tomei 260 cams

car made 375RWKW on 19psi, (will be boosted to 25psi maybe more depending on Boost vs Power) then will be tuned for response

pretty happy with the curve atm but will be intersting to see how a cam gear adjustment and e 85 effects it :rolleyes:

Do you have a sheet?

Im very impressed by power vs boost, I thought it may have needed more than that

edit - just noticed your edit haha

Yea i was very impressed, thought it may struggle to make 400rwkw but i dont think we're goin to have any problems

...and the turbo whislte, sounds.. f**kin...awesome..

not quite T51R territory but definatly up there

not bad for a oil cooled, plain bearing turbo thats under 1000 bucks!

Nice, sounds like its on its way to being a bit of a monster - I bet it sounds awesome :) Whats the exhaust note like with the twinscroll setup?

What turbine housing are you running, and what is response like?

So 375kw was pump gas - right? If so, with 25psi and E85 this is going to be a weapon! Very cool!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
