As some of you know my beloved V8skyline is dead........well not so much the car but the engine.

i have a dream, and that dream is to get my car into the top 10 SAU Drag times

therefore i need a very low 10 second pass,

the car will shortly be receiving a 10 pt rollcage and r33 brakes

it will have s13 coilovers and s14 hubs to enable me to fit these brakes.

i am thinking of either an rb25det or an rb26dett. i know wich one i prefer but well see how $$ goes after the other work is complete

What i want to know is 400RWKW enough for these quater miles times and what work does each engine need to have done to acheive this power....i realise the 26 needs less work to do it but it also costs more to begin with.

i think even with the high costs of buying a rb26 your going to spend lots and lots on a 25 to get 400rwkw . a full comprehensive rebuild will be required . If you can find a rb26 in good nick (and thats going to be the problem) you should see 350-400rwkw with a pair of low mount turbos , cams and the usual bolt on mods .

It wont be for drags, in fact i wont do a lot of racing with it at all...maybe every few months go to a street meet...and the odd bit of drift here and there(on a track of course) car WILL be a daily driver no matter how much of a pain in the a55 it is to drive....mainly cos I'm an idiot.

Only a guess but i would say that it weighs 1000-1100 kgs in full trim.

dash, front race seats and cage will be the only interior in it when complete, so it may JUST slip under the 1000 mark

Then if you want it to daily drive the rb26dett is the best option in my opinion

As i drive a 400kwrw gtr most days

pfc & avcr apexi and hand controller

garrett 320hp ball bearing turbos

tomei 260 9.15 cams and adj wheels

700cc injectors

rb20 afms

custom exhaust and inlet

525rwhp 20psi (last 1/4 ~490hp ran 11.3 125mph)

the rest std

so that sort of power isnt hard to exact from rb26dett but i am about to change out rb20afms as there limit is about 540rwhp and am going to put forged rods and pistons just for peace of mind .Plus i'm doing some sump mods for track use.

as for a low 10 1/4 will come down to weight and setup to gain suck a time not just power

He is saying that over a quarter mile a GT-R with 400 Kw should be doing a higher speed through the traps.

Maybe it bogged down too much at the start, or he backed off the throttle too early....

Well when i ran it gear changes and starts were the biggest issues but even tho it's not far off wot a lot of the high 400hp cars will run in mph and please dont forget its awd not 2 wd a 2wd drive will run a slightly fast mph per hp due to weight and rotating weight .

What mph would you exspect from a 490rwhp AWD?

very true cant agree more and the simple mph to hp only works when comparing apples with apples ie awd with awd and street tyres with street tyres my orginal post to show that its not very hard or hughly $$ to get 400rwhp from a rb26 and i simply post wot i got from my one trip to the strip

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
