Spent the afternoon looking at turbo/s options.

I'm just getting more and more confused.

Partly because i'm not really sure what sort of power I want to end up with.

Thats why I don't get concerned with final power figures, focus on how you want it to drive and forget about the power figure.

McFly is one of the fastest street cars in the club around LP and he's only got 320ish HP.

Thats like my old R32, it was twice the car at 245rwkw compared to 330rwkw. I was so dissapointed at how it drove I had to sell it! lol

How much HP Pete?

And what do you want use the car for?

400Kw would be nice. But at the same time, The car is never going to be a serious track car (white GTR at lakeside and all) so response is key. Stroker+E85 might give both, and somethin like a BW 7670 or similar sized Precision (6266?) might be just the turbo.

I don't. He will have to prove me wrong with a massive skid

First thing i did was install a skids switch...

That being said I was won over by the launch crowd on the weekend. No reason why i can't have both though.

Bunts!

update re: unicorn

Man I have had so much going on with work and estate stuff that I haven't really touched it. I have the new ECU in and running. I have the crank trigger and I have a new exhaust. I need a balancer and to take it down and get it fitted and tuned. While I am there I am getting pipes made up so I can re install the stock airbox. I doubt I will get the time to do any of this until July or so.

Pete,

Big ass single, Precision 6466, big exhaust cam and slightly smaller inlet cam, possible stroker & head work. Should nett you some healthy numbers whist hopefully having decent response

deceased estate or real estate?

Deceased estate. I will come out with you when is done. Need to squeeze the cruise in between finishing it and going over seas for 6 months!

all good mate. I understand you're situation trust me.

Rushing things tends to always attract mistakes.

Better off to take the necessary time to get it right.

Hoping Ants. Im trying to hold of guess-timations of power out put etc on this one. As long as it doesnt make less that 588 [Cant see how this would be possible] I will be happy.

I just want to have this car semi-reliable and be able to just enjoy driving and racing it for the winter time. Its spent far to much time and money over the past 8 months in workshops

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
