np roy when every you are ready

next friday?

remember as well your giving me 100 kgs In car weight

 

I need to run a 12 at some point

LOL... im already nervous. Im good to go, only this week may not be a goer, my luck of late has to change if my car is to be ready by Friday, but i suppose anythig is possible.

And i dont know how serious Meggala will be taking this, but from my perspective its a bit of fun...been thinking about running the car of late... so need a reason ot stop talkign myself out of it :mad:

Please hold me to this, a bit of a laugh at oneself is good for the soul. Sh1t you already have run a 13.3. LOL...can we have round two of the RB v SR Shootout at Winton Raceway :)

Roy your a class act, keep it up. If only people tried to have fun more and stop being so serious all the time.

Make sure you keep everyone posted on the turnout of the event.

Even if you do just end up drinking a slab of beer together instead of running ...

Rubbish we dont want witnesses, well one of us wont :)

If the stars are alinged for the RB boyz ill take a case of Toohey New thanks :alcoholic

how many 9000rpm SRs  do you  want? they are great engines.

We have 2.2 and 2.4 kits. 2.2 is stock stroke but 2.4 is the 2.2 with stroker crank.

So you can get 2.4L stroker kits for SR20s? What stroke do they end up with? Or did you mean RB20s

Just to clarify...

i dont think there is any real difference, comes back to turbo setup and bolt on combination more then SR v RB.

That and the fact that 80% of the SR20 sits behind the front struts in the R32 (a la Honda S2000) is the other reason why this conversion makes heaps of sense. Although I do agree with Roy about keeping the Skyline a "Skyline"... but what can you do? The SR20>R32 combo is too good to pass up IMO.

So hang on, what is the SR in, a Cefiro or an R32?

Are Cefiros 100kg lighter then a GTST? Sheesh... the superior RB will have to show its worth by even lugging the heavier R32 shell and my girth down the strip...you wouldnt happen to weigh 160kgs would you meggala, hence the 4 door?

"Even though its a big single turbo setup, since it isn't a daily driver the owner (Yamaguchi) has chosen to go with a T51R KAI. With a maximum boost pressure of 2.2kg/m2 it generates around 650PS late in the power band at high RPMS.

However instead of coming on at an exact RPM, it comes in gradually from 5800 rpm to 9000 rpm. Therefore it isn't difficult to drive and manage.

When the big turbo's of other companies are compared the amount of torque generated by this turbo puts it in an entirely different class.

In order to put this power to the ground a pair of Nitto 315's are used on the rears, also 20kg weight is placed in the boot to increase traction."

Specs on the car:

SR20DET - RS Yamamoto SPL

HKS-T51 R KAI

F Con V PRO

5 Speed Dog Transmission

Tomei Cams (lN/EX:280 degree) / Forged pistons / H section Con rod / crankshaft

Trust 3 Layer Intercooler

Custom manifold and exhaust.

1) Alloy block.

2) Rocker arms

3) Chain driven cams/distributor

Why would people try to get insane power out of an RB20 when it's too easy to just throw in an RB26? I've read an article on a twin turbo RB20 (2.4) that does high 9's in an R32, but it's expensive to prove a point with an R20 (compared to an RB30 or 26).

sounds like you just completely missed the point that we're comparing engines under 2.4L in FR cars. 2.5 and 2.6 are different classes.

If this isnt what he intended to say, then its a comment id like to make...i think the point he was trying to make is that ppl dont chase numbers out of RB20s because of its bigger brothers, not because of any design flaw.

Where as the SR20 is more commonly built for big numbers as its the common 4 cylinder turbo engine for S13/14/15, and has some aspects of its design that are not ideal for such an application.

I so want to build up an RB20 but it doesnt make sense when i can go bigger, but if i had an S15 i wouldnt even consider a transplant, id chase power from the SR...which by the way suck balls :P

Someone give Meggala 10 grand, then someone give me 10 grand....lets go racing and find out :P

how bout someone just saves the 20 grand he gives to you and megz and just gives it to me, and I'll make my RB20DE n/a engine beat all of yas :D money can do anything, how much you wanna push it and which path you wanna take is personal choice I reckon these days. Engineering has come along a long way where if something brakes and you have the money you replace it with a stronger item. Thus enabling you to potentially build ANY engine no matter how shit it is out of the factory into a record beating item.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
