if u talking the differences between 32 eccs and the nics, then there are a few:

i wouldnt know them all, but as rhino said the turbo is the biggest change.

also the eccs has a much bigger plenum with a 6 intake port head, while the nics has a 12 port head.

eccs has a bov on the pipe just b4 the tb

eccs has bigger injectors

the throttle bodies seem different - the eccs having the cable on the opposite side to the nics

also different radiator hoses and a few other minor things...

comparing the 31 nics to the 31 eccs (still red top), there are less obvious changes - the main one being the bigger plenum combined with the old 12 port head.

to answer your question, the 32 eccs is much better in regards to tuning potential. it is a better base engine to start with - and also a/m parts are much more common.

Ive done a heap of research online as my sister in law can read japanese.. So anyway to the point.. The japs use the old Red top NICS in their more high-end performance cars....

As stated "top secret" used a NICS R31 red top in their record breaking R32 which ran an 8.92 over in japan.... A record that still stands today as the fastest RWD R32 in the world...

Its had the tomei 2.4litre treatment and every other thing under the sun... But yeah they chose this motor due to its larger water jacket.... and larger oil wells in the top half of the motor...

Making this motor cooler and smoother under high end treatment... Less likely to blow up as they put it...

Also the NICS 12 port manifold flows better than the 6 port ECCS... Proven fact.. However for mild performance say 200rwkw most will go fo the ECCS 6 port as it does improve the KW's but when you go highend (300rwkw) then they went back to the 12 port... Due to better flow at high turbo rpm...

So thats why i changed my ECCS for a NICS... I have improved the power on the NICS to the point where we were able to pull 230rwkw's from less than 8 grand....

My car is going in for some fairly major work in three weeks....

PLANS, Stroke to 2.4 (if parts are aviable)

Otherwise 2.2 (allready have parts)

5 speed R33 manual gearbox (R32 not strong enough)

Larger FMIC (going to 720x400x77)

Turbo is going to be rebuilt again, this time with a different front housing... Gonna use a VL turbo front housing (dont ask why, just am, gonna try something new...)

Thats about it... but we aim for 250rwkw all day everyday...

Hopeing to strike the 300rwkw for the first time....

That will then enter the Nissan record books as the most powerfull GTS-X in Australia....

It has a red top RB20det motor NICS from an HR31

It has been stroked to 2.4 litres

Some form of custom turbo (does not say exactlly, just says that it is a twin cermaic bush turbo...) Id imagine its large..

Tomei internals.. ie. oversized pistons, cams, rods, crank, all internals anyway...

Custom 2 speed top shifting gearbox (from what i can imagine its similar to a modified powerglide....

Solid diff with mini tubs...

Anyway it dyno's at 560rwkw.....

Still is one of their shops cars.....

I will go to top secret one of these days.. When i get holidays i plan on traveling to Japan to see what i can bring back cheap....

Which one...

No. 24

The one titled "The new chaser is out"

Also with 3 litre GTR combat ready....

Or

No. 25

The one titled "The secret is out, top secret GTR built in Australia"

With an Evo 7 double test

Cause i went down to the newagent and he said that NO.25 came in today... So you might be talking about No.24... Or are you talking about 25... Please let me know cause he wont let me read them so i need to buy it and i dont want two....

HPI basicly say the NICS is infirior to the ECCS due to the 12 port head so there is probably confusion here to nismogtsx statements, but nismogtsx does state they are better over 300rwkw the problem being not many R31's are going near that, so the ECCS is the better engine to the average bear and even better the Silver top RB20det ECCS. But as HPI say dont dispear from simple changes you can get a descent showing from them...

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
