Bottom line: whatever you do to a 2 litre you can do to a 2.5 and enjoy approximately 20% more of it

There is no replacement for displacement (within reason)

There has been no amazing production engine development for bottom end torque since these engines were created; VVT is as good as it gets for broadening the power band, but that is a mid-top end power increase.

Greg listen to Michael not Frank when your building your engine. I remember when he built it he mentioned there were issues with it that needed addressing

What part do I run factory Leroy?

Also Evo X, short gearing SST, pretty much no lag and always on boost. Pretty much 6th gear at 80km/h

I do listen to Michael, who pretty much agrees with anything we've thrown out there. Yes, a GTX3076R in a .82 is small for a 2.8, but it isn't small to the point where you smash an engine to pieces... people run them on Supras. (went bigger anyway)

Is that my dyno plot? In depth research lol

My setup is 16psi throughout, with a laggy IWG highflow inside a Nissan comp cover for stealth. The SR, with what sounds like an over-boosted small turbocharger at 22psi...is not really impressing me. It would be a quick car, but put a smaller EWG turbo on mine that doesn't get choked in the top end...it'll move the graph down 500rpm off the spool and make much the same power as both of us up top, albeit not as stealth.

It is your dyno plot, but this SR is also internally gated, low mounted, stock manifold and bleeding off to about 16psi up top. It is a very similar setup man.

It may have been 2nd gear it decided to slip around on, but it was very much under the (50kmh!) speed limit on a side street, rolling onto boost when it happens, very very very long way from any clutch dumps!

My point was is that "if you have 2.5L you can't ever go back to a 2.0 in an evo or SR" and I reckon nah man, the difference would be miniscule given the cars these engines are put in. I reckon they make more power/torque/whatever per cc than a RB does :P

We'll have to agree to disagree...I haven't driven a 2 litre that's wowed me down low and held it through the rev range yet. Evos especially with their weight disadvantage - feel like you have to give them heaps to get them moving, and a Skylines are bad enough for that.

Stock internals (besides springs/retainers) k20 e85 prescision 5831 .63

14psi 300kw

17psi 320kw

Since its 'MURICA take off 5-10% because 'MURICA.

Too bad it wrong wheel drive.

still respectable is it not, inb4 gtfked honda boy

12080330_931001243645927_881850058088859

inb4 someone says that shit will blow up, this pretty much standard for a turbo k20, 400-450kw is when it gets unreliable with stock motors, but still easily achievable :|

No one is talking peak power... Talking about lag/displacement/driveability

Put a big turbo on anything and it will make big power. Just lot of money and go fast bits making it happen

From what i've driven, high comp makes the boost instant, full song around 4k till 8-8.5, which is alright with hondie ratios

Car is 1ton like pulsars, 2L plentyful off boost, gets off line really easy, but then we're drifting off to the silvia vs skyline chassis hear

From what I'm seeing in that graph, definitly not peaky, lots of usable power

Referring to the 300kw one above, is similar set up to mates integra.

Im just bored ok

felt like spamming

f*k yas

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
