This is a guide on a more unusal engine conversion. A silvia SR20DET engine in a R31 GXE Skyline peformed and documented by Fatz.

We decided to do this as Fatz wrote off our drift Silva car at the Drift Nationals in Victoria last year. We used all the trick bits, suspension and the SR20DET and wacked it on a cheap ass R31.

First you need a car. I chose this lovely 1990 silo imitation because it cost 1k  was rough as guts and suited the purpose of a drift pig!!!

My was it rough, dents, rust, running bad, starter motor was rooted (bought a new one and had it reco… im a dumb arse 170 bux all up 17% the value of the car), wrong suspension made the car jacked up

Previous owner had it wired up so it cough on fire 3 days after purchase due to a short on the thermo fan. Each panel had a different colour so it real stood out as a bucket of shit..

On the plus side it had 3 months rego, was manual and was a perfect base for a car that I will and my brother flog the living crap out of for a good long time....

Here is the 30 page install guide by Fatz... It is well worth the read. Im sure he had a few cans when writting this so its a good laugh.

It includes full illustrations and all on how to put a silvia SR20DET engine in a R31 4 Door Skyline.

Check out how much room there is in the engine bay!!!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
