yeah, 250kw ATW with the turbo and stock internals

he's hoping for 500 or something HP with better internals

ran 15.3 at AIR with the 198HP (not sure whether at engine or not) NA build

After looking at the dyno sheet, it appears to me that it made (on the previous engine: stock internals, injectors + bolt-on turbo) 249.9fwkw running dangerously lean!!! >14:1 A/FR is lean for an atmo engine, let alone one with forced induction!

With his new engine and turbo set-up I'd say it "should" have big potential. After all we are talking about a very close match for the Mitsubishi 3000GT engine. With his 3.0L V6 now sporting stronger internals and serious support systems to match it will be interesting to see how it goes on the dyno at Autosalon.

I dunno' about the bit on his web site about leaving "burning Skylines and WRXs on the side of the drag strip"

wow tough crowd here.

At least this bloke is putting in some effort for performance not rice.

And in the end fwd is no issue when you're in Alice Springs, its not like there's a heap of standing starts or corners to contend with :)

In the real world (i.e no complete combustion or 100% efficient use of fuel) 14.7 AFR at the top end of an engines rev range is not healthy, be it NA or forced induction. The NA LS1 Commodore guys would be a tad worried if they were getting 14:1+ AFRs! Have a look at the BOONGA Magna dyno sheet, post turbo upgrade. Those top end AFRs look like piston munchers to me.

hence why i didnt we didnt do more then 13psi. and i did write on the dynosheet "max injector flow"... we didnt just strap a turbo on and say "its good enough"

we found a faulty earth to the pumps, which in the end killed both bosch motorsport 700hp pumps.. :Bang: ... which *may* of had a negetive effect on the final HP figure, as the computer was asking for more fuel, the pump just couldnt supply because of bad power system to it... i will only find out once i replace the pumps :rofl:

so not happy there.

im currently building the new engine with bascally every internal component replaced. aiming for 400fwkw. dyno and stip only.

on the street, the 250kw i already have is a killer!!!.. my 19's just smoke up when i lauch too hard :throwup: ... still have to refin my lauch style

Cheers for the comments :headspin:

No matter how much everyone bags you out, I think its an awesome car. Got looks and sounds as if it would go like stink as well. All the Skyline boys saying how its shit coz its a FWD and not giving it a chance probably think that they are the quickest car around with the only mod on their car being a cat back exhaust and pod filter. Me thinks it would leave many Skylines for dead, if it gets good traction to the ground!

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
