How experienced are you building engines?

First time? Based on the incredibly vague first question that's what I assume.

Comp ratio is a compromise relating to many factors. Boost, fuel, cams, head design etc.

Certainly not as simple as what's the best.

Although 500whp isn't that much so stock comp would do it with that turbo and fuel I imagine.

Hi Ben c34 yeah I am new to these engines as I have only owned mazda rotaries (complete different animal). But from the info I have gathered I have been told a stock cylinder head should be ok for what I am doing but I need to upgrade rods and pistons as well as mod crank snout for the longer oil gear. But I am probably going to stick with stock compression ratio.

Thanks

Richard

Yeah I am in the states and the places that sell en are like 45 minutes away. But thanks for all the info. Btw When using the stock head and stock head components what parts are known to have problems and If I did want extra insurance I am assuming just install valves and retainers.

Hi I am having the head reconditioned for sure. Then I was going to clean up cast marks in ports but mainly water jacket holes in cylinder head and I was thinking of running a line from cylinder head to sump. And widen the oil galleries on head and block.

I think a GT3582R will be quite laggy on an RB25 with the std CR on your 93 octane . In the US with things like the 3076 and 3582 HTAs available I think you can do better .

With non standard manifolds the EFRs are probably better again particularly on pump gas because their turbines tend to be larger in relation to their compressors than most other turbo suppliers . You should be able to get 500 from a 7064 or a 7670 with better turbine response/transients than most other makes .

Having less inertia and exhaust restriction is the go IMO .

I was talking specifically about the lifters.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
