Sv6 runs what a high 14 standard, a turbo r33 runs a low 14

Your 50hp turbo less r33 will not beat an sv6

So pull the other leg son

This!, I recently sold a VE SV6 & i've many DE daily drivers, unless the sv6 has something big time wrong with it, it will dish you a beating, an exhaust that big on an NA will just be a megaphone

That was just between driving one and drivin mine i will be taking it to wsid in next few weeks and il post pics of time slips

Please do, i'll come and watch.... hell i might even run again.

Il put up the date I'm going when I figure out work times, I must be very wrong in terms of driving one from the other and I will admit I'm wrong but from what I could remember didn't seem

That much quicker, il put a 0-100 vid up and you can see if it what I think it is or if I'm way off any ideas on what a normal de is?

Has oil return lines to sump and det on plate so I'm pretty sure it was det

Never put a car down quarter so I have no idea what it would be

Dunno why so many people are so negative I'm

Not out trying to prove its a monster I was just saying it doesn't go as bad as every makes out

Its still ball of fun to drive

Sorry of I upset some people by saying the sv6 thing but that's what I thought

the main point we are all making is that it will be noticably slower than a factory non turbo skyline, for the simple fact that the engine is running much less compression. so that, and the fact that other people have done this and put it on the dyno and made about the same power as a hyundai excel. however the condition of the engine comes into play a bit. a very healthy DET will have similar compression to a rather unhealthy DE. however an unhealthy DET (that may still seem ok to drive with the turbo still attached) will be well down on compression compared to a healthy DE (to the tune of about 30%)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
