Hey guys,

I've just bought an R31 coupe in japan and was wondering what you guys think i'll be looking at power-wise from the engine thats in her.

RB24DET (rb26 crank, rods and tomei pistons)

KKK K27 turbo

Trust high mount manifold and external gate

rb26 plenum and injectors

rb26 cooler

HKS FCON V

HKS EVC

thats about all i know, its garenteed to have lots more mods as i can see alot of things in the pics i got that wern't listed.

so what do ya think? am i looking at over 200rwkw here?

Cheers

Karlos

Yea i thought it looked like a monster turbo. hmm wonder how laggy it'll be?

well non complied i'll be getting it for around 10k but then i'm gunna have to get it through compliance. i'm hoping if i chuck the standard manifolds and turbo back on the 2.4 will still pass emissions at regency. should cost a couple thousand plus to get it complied because of all the shit i have to return to standard! :(

Racing Porches and Ruf Porches run K27 in single and twin forms, so should be a dood thing. Is it a Blitz or original KKK turbo?

If everything is in order i woudl expect power to be up around 280-320rwkws depending on some of the mods, and boost it runs. Just be sure its actually has the internals before you wind up the boost too high, its way too easy to claim all sorts of things with regards to stroker cranks and pistons, so a quick inspection woudlnt go astray before you start turning up the wick and showing the R33 and GTR crowds what an RB20 can muster...any pics?

ok i'll load some pics onto my webspace.

worth buying one what? a spare car? i thought about getting a front cut but hopefully i can lease an rb20det and the rest for a week just to get through regency for considerably less than buying a FC.

280rwkw?! shit sounds like i'll be looking at a ****in quick car!

yeah i noticed the 2nd fuel rail aswell, didnt notice the single throttle, hmmm i must contemplate this new discovery..

i wonder whether thats 12 GTR injectors or 6 RB26 and 6 RB20 injectors.

also notice the remote oil filter, oil cooler?

wish these japanese were more informative, i wonder what clutch its got? whats the gearbox gunna be like when my last box broke with only 170rwkws?!

oh and this is gunna be my daily driver! :headspin:

Looking at how close the inlet manifodl sites to the inner guard/strut, it looks as though they may have cut the std RB20manifold off after the injectors and rail mounts, then either welded a flange to bolt to the RB26 plenum, or cut off the flange on the RB26 plenum and welded it to the modded RB20 plenum.

Does anyone know where the injectors on an RB26 inlet setup are bolted, im guessing its after the 6 throttle bodies? Perhaps the 2nd row of injectors are acoomodate dby welded sockets in the plenum, rather then using the STD GTR rail and mount, which actually the 2nd rail looks liek they use hose tails so may not be std GTR Injectors.... be fun to play PI when the car arrives

Hmm, wonder why they've used 12 injectors anyways? why not just go 6x GTR ones and use the entire rb26 inlet plenum/throttles? gtr injectors are large enough arnt they?

looks like i may need to change the whole motor over to get it through regency, not just swap int/ex manifolds and turbo. i doubt the 2.4 would pass emissions with all standard gear (inc ecu/loom) chucked on.

0HR30t the interior is in awsome nick, looks brand new, tons of aftermarket gauges etc too, just no stereo.

a few r32's came in with similar mods they were pretty good my suggestion is wait till it gets heere and talkto the compliance engineer first. I think the lease of a complete motor might be a better ideaor else you might upset the balance and set up of the old one) and itwill be alot easier alot easier to unbolt and bolt in.

hope for 250 rwkw and be very happy if you get more the car will be laggy even with the 2.4 kit but should rev very well and very high. enjoy

I think if lag is a problem i'll swap the turbo for something smaller, mabye a 2835r or the like. trouble is if i do that then i'll have to get the ECU retuned or change it altogether. anyone in adelaide that knows the Fcon's?

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
