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%)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
