i know this is mainly a skyline forum so ill be brief. im in the US so we didnt ever get those lovely silvia's or skyline's and i was just wondering if you guys know the specs on the s13 redtop and blacktop stock? when i look on the net all i get is different guesses and some motor dyno's. since they were sold over there, could you guys let me know what they had off the lot? asking redtop and blacktop because i heard blacktop came with a little more but ive also seen that they had the same horsepower. thanks for any help.

lol someone already suggested that.

i wasnt planning on going vvt. dont feel like messing with s14. there are 2 s13 det's tho. redtop and blacktop. just making sure no one is confusing blacktop s13 with the vvt s14. getting the blacktop is just as easy as getting the redtop for me and the cost is just a tad more. the blacktop is newer (doesn't mean ill get a better motor i know) but the main question was just whether or not they added a bit of power when they changed over to s13 blacktop from redtop or if they just had a different valve cover.

the s13 blacktop and redtop are the exactly the same engine . one is red . one is black

as you stated the s13 blacktop comes in around late 93 so they are newer engines but be weary as often they are red tops painted black to ask for slightly more money

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
