LOL it was a DR30 and in car film . Its on the video "The Great race , the Turbolent years Bathurst 1986 - 1992" . Great driving for basically an overgrown Datsun 1600 with a top endy FJ20ET .

It was interesting to watch the R31's race , they appeared to be driven on the rev limit everywhere .

show me graphs of an rb20 and an sr20 with the same turbo, this will be a good comparison... not based on whether 6 cylinders is better then 4, but rather a direct engine to engine comparison

i think i can answer this one

2 180sx's....one has a 1992 SR20DET redtop with a HKS2530 @ 1.2bar, 600x300x80mm FMIC, 3" exhuast, apexi intake, power FC, HKS 550cc injectors, walbro 550HP pump, OS giken twinplate Clutch - on a very convservitive dyno (at a dyno day) it made 191.8rwkw. stock cams/internals

the other 180sx, has a 1992 RB20DET, with a HKS2530 @1.1bar(same turbo), 600x300x80mm FMIC (same IC), 3" exhuast (same), K&N intake, GTR fuel pump, stock injectors but a FPR (fuel pressure regulator) and a SAFC tuned with the stock computer. it made (at the same dyno day, a few mins after the other 180sx) 192.0rwkw. stock cams/internals

virtually identical power - the torque curves were interesting.....the SR20 was higher untill 4000rpm where the RB took over.....so the SR has the lower end...but it fell away from 6000rpm...where the RB stayed strong to 8000rpm. i worked out the "approx" area under the graphs....the RB had it by about 10% more...due to the wider power band.

now...when racing....from a standing start....the SR wins untill mid-end of 2nd gear, where the RB pulls on it....then by the time 4th comes...its pulled 1.5-2 lengths - its a similar situation when racing supra's...RB takes over in 2nd and continues to pull away...on a rolling start its RB all the way...from 110kph in 3rd gear (4500rpm in the RB , PERFECT from launching from) it nails the SR

the top end of the RB helps here......

i guess u should come to ur own conclusions about these "results" :(

i'll have some results for this thread next week.

rb20det stock internals

HKS gt2530

cam gears

gtr pump

3 inch -> 3 1/2 inch exhaust

ARC fmic

nismo fpr

gtr 444cc injectors....about to be installed

splitfire coil packs

power fc .....about to be installed

Blitz ebc (running .9bar)

hoping for some good response and about 190rwkw

hopefully next week to be taken to jim at CRD to put the finishing touches on it. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes.

also id like to add

the 2 cars are VERY similar in handling!!!

the RB seems to have made little to no difference

Roy : the RB20 180sx is going into the shop on monday :), injectors, wolf 3d management, tune @ 1.3bar

glad to here that some one else realizes that they handle just fine with the rb20 up front.

over here stateside there is a stigma about the rb series being "massively" heavier thus making your handling crap.

i had no problems with my car, and it was tons of fun to drive, especialy sideways.

My R31 GTSR was returned to me on Monday.

Mods are: GTR injectors, walbro pump, custom fuel rail and all new lines. Exhaust, pod and ecu.

The rest is standard, remembering GTSR had a TO3/4E from factory.

I also removed all the butterflies and the spindle from the sandwich plate between head and inlet manifold.

Results were 225rwkw @ 13psi and 170rwkw @ 6-7psi.

correct - dyno runs are only good for comparison if 2 cars are run beside each other

the 2 cars that i compared have both made over 220rwkw on different dynos

i just used the 190rwkw runs as example as thats what they both made a few mins apart on a the same dyno.

Regarding the 220 on another dyno...exactly. There is another thread at the moment stating a certain power level...and from the experiences of a friend his car made 20rwkws more then what his car typically makes...so comparing power figures from different dynos is a waste of time.

A lot of ppl claim massive wheelspin probs at 200rwkws in an R32 GTST, so with 222rwkws and no wheelspin at all in 2nd let alone 3rd, i question my power figure:(

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
