Yes Joey, drag slips, its the only way to be sure, I'll race you for beer (no more little bloody donuts, bastards).

You will though need to spot me 5.5 seconds though.

I'm guessing you might run a 10.5ish where I might run a 16ish

Come on, my 5 has at most an astounding 80 to 90 killerwasps at the back wheels.

Put It this way, my old RWD boat on old drag radials and 380kw got a 11.008, I'm sure there's a 10.5 in yours.

The box should be fine for the first couple of runs, it might sound a bit like industrial exhaust fan after that though.

In all honesty if you take off easy and don't shift to hard the box should be fine, I believe its the drag radials and big launches on the sticky stip that eats the 1-3 gears.

Ill give you 4.9 seconds then, with a 6 pack of Crownies on the line.

EDIT: First gear?, with your torque the only time you will use first gear is in the lanes before the water box

Righto,

take this as you will, i consider that engine capacity, cams, fuel makes it a "similar" comparison

So same dyno

Both set ups have

2.6L

both have standard compression from memory

similar drop in cams

high ethenol content fuel

Both have large sufficient exhaust, ignition and fuel setups

Mine is the orange/red line

-5 line is black

To be fair, that -5 result im comparing against wasnt the most responsive run out of them all. But that particular result did flatten out alot after 5200rpm and my curve was still fatter

I dont know if i want to test the waters.. maybe when i get a stronger box.

I would have just got the thing on the road and i dont feel like spending more $$$ to keep driving it haha

Oh yup similar looking results to what I got just bait higher because of the ethanol.

I might stick with the -5's until i upgrade my injectors/gearbox and then go with a 8374 1.05 A/R as my bottom end has been built to withstand hell.

and I hear you about popping the standard box. Why I haven't run mine yet.

It's interesting to note that there is very minimal change in power between E45 and E85 on our boost levels. It's only an extra safety margin..

I'll be running 50/50 as a more common everyday mix

Lol, lies, I see lies :P

You can't really compair single v twin cause to many veriables like intake and dump pipes etc, dump pipes are one of the biggest issues with turbos and it's hard to get wrong on a single, especially if you have a external gate, but very very easy to get wrong on factory mount twins

Even cam timing makes a difference

So it really comes down to personal preference and what you want from your car

Haha, maybe, doubtful but maybe, but twins will get you there quicker :P

Take matty from WA's experience. Twin -5's on a 3.0 and went to a 8374/0.92 internally gate single. The EFR was back to peak boost levels in a 1/3rd of the time the twins took (Motec logs), made more power everywhere also.

However, it would be interesting to compare something like the 8374 EFR to say twin 6258 EFR's.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
