gtr engine

[DaGr81]

hmm well i cud do that to my gtst no probs its got a big intercooler already just needs , new injectors , new fuel pump , bigger turbo and manifold etc wudnt be more than 6grand to punch out 300 + on my gtst, but as for my gts still pondering, by the way u say it ur dissapointed at ur result i suppose? watsup? how much power u pulling? having problems with the car? a v8 conversion sounds good or even as geordie said a vq30dett my only problem is that the vq30dett is a gay engine to begin with its got power, but its gay! that guy that pulls 300 + in his silvia must have a really worked engine i think, infact it may not even be a vq30dett anymore LOL

[DaGr81]

but yeah geordie if u cud get me some specs and stuff as to wat that dudes done to his engine... id appreciate it ta

[geordie]

I shall have a look on the NS forums see if anything pops up......

[geordie]

FOUND IT!! http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...=46788&hl=dusky - its for sale but this list the mods, the guys names james, prolly tell you other specifics if you were keen to do the conversion.

[DaGr81]

thanks man, yeah everythings custom made lol expensive

lol, cmon gimme ideas, cant do turbo conversion dont want another gtst lol

[DaGr81]

Ok so i got bored of the stocky gts and i did a few things, i changed spark plugs (shorter gap ones) put a hks super dragger 3" exhaust wit 5" tip (which i got for free off a friend) installed a K&N pod filter with a custom partition which should keep out the heat from the engine and also i had a look at the hpi mag and they had some decent tips to get an extra 13rwkw out of the N/A engine so i followed those now i shud be expecting around 130rwkw with the tips i followed and the new exhaust or should i expect a bigger gain from the exhaust? or not?

but basically the N/A engine at best run is 105rwkw

mucking around with the air box u can do some illegal stuff like pull off the top half of the air box and gain an extra 2rwkw and if u take out the filter part u will see an extra 5rwkw so that wud take ur power to 110rwkw *but ofcourse if u use a good pod and have an exhaust system u should gain 5rwkw from just a simple pod filter*

Next they removed the fuel cut defender buying a 2nd hand one shouldnt cost more than 50bux and that gives another 2rwkw

so your power should be 112rwkw by now

then they mucked around with the timing curve to gain another 6rwkw and boost power to 118rwkw u gotta constantly load test on the dyno to make sure theres no detonation (there shouldnt be) ur base crank angle sensor ignition timing needs u to crank it another 3 degrees to gain that 6rwkw

so now the power is 118rwkw and if u wanted another few kw you could go out and buy an apexi "super funnel or something along those lines" basically its just a guide like item which guides air to ur engine and it should see more rwkw (the super funnel is illegal on the street though)

now i did all this for less than 500 bux and i did gain an extra 13rwkw but after i did that i installed the hks super dragger hopefully i should see a nice healthy gain of like 8 - 15rwkw as the stock ehaust is a very restrictive item.

now i should be seeing around 130rwkw mark

so now that thats taken care of i had spare falken azeena T115 tyres in the garage which came brand new with my gtst and ive never used them , these are fairly good tyres to use and provide excellent grip and can improve 1/4 mile times by a bit and are really nice on the gts ok with this new power gain the car goes a fair bit harder and the grip is so much better (better traction)

next step is to see wat else i can do to increase the power i was thinking extractors , for now i will do small things to the engine to increase the performance, then later on this year i'll throw in the rb26dett or v8engine and tune that to about 300rwkw then stop

But for now wat else do u guys reckon i can do im trying to gain as much as possible ?

To get a fair amount of power you need to do the same things to both engines - injectors, ECU, turbo etc. Then add on the price of the GTR front cut.

I got 321rwkw at it's current level of tune on the black GTS, my white GS-t got 287rwkw for less outlay, time and headaches.

What is your real goal on the project? Sub 11s? A unique conversion?

[DaGr81]

yeah im looking at 11s for this car, my real goal is a good sleeper engine so all the ricer ****s look at my gts and wanna run me at lights , and den loose and stuff LOL to a GTS!!!!!!! muhahahaha how about a 1jzgte twin turbo LOL now im going crazy huh

[geordie]

Be the first 20b TT powered skyline (mightn't be the first but i be betting youd be one of a very small number)

OR! i started a thread quite a while back "Supercharging" the rb25de.....one problem was compression (as with tubo), posible fixes were - either rebuild engine, or better still put the Rb30 bottom end and one that was left of the middle but very interesting, millers cycle. All providing the compression drop, a supercharged RB30 should pull some awesome torque figures, be unique, be still in in the RB family and most of all has potential to have quite a decent 1/4 time potential, posibly even easier to launch due to a more linear power curve achieved via the SC giving boost from word go, no waiting for a turbo to spool etc.....in theory anywho.

[drakan69]

how about a 1jzgte twin turbo LOL now im going crazy huh

yep now your dog gone crazy, have you seen the power curve of the modded supra's, it's tyre cookingly sharp...

[Greg]

2jzgte

[geordie]

Ive seen a 1jzgte pull 280kw @ wheels on standard turbos.

[Marlin]

I know of a 33 GTS-t in Qld for sale already done with full house RB26/big Brembos/Apexi turbos/new internals/suspension/cage/GTR diff,axles/da da da. Set up for circuit mainly, but has run high tens at drags if thats your thing. Is street registered.

I've driven this car, it is much fun!

Maybe get that and fine tune it to your tastes?

After building several cars, that's what I'd do next. Just me............

[DaGr81]

2jz!! or v8 lexus twin turbo engine...wats it called LOL thats one big mofo

[geordie]

2jz is the 3ltr TT, the lexus V8 isnt TT, just NA, but converting to a toyota engine is like playing with the enemy, and most probably VERY expensive and pain in the arse. Mind you the top speed record holder in japan is a supra with an Rb26.

If i wanted something different

3ltr RB supercharged. Unique and part of the family

[DaGr81]

haha yeah i know its a pain, im jus being crazy, not actually gonna bother LOL, i still dunno wat to do, i think i'll drop an rb25det in there coz i can and wudnt mind two gtst's and wud still work outa cheaper than buying a 97 model gtst so it should set me back 3200 for the front cut complete with all wiring and ecu etc, then id need bigger brakes, wat are the standard injectors and fuel pumps like on the GTS? coz if they are decent, no need upgrading until later

heres my plan for now

1. get rb25det

2. buy better brakes

3. get the engine dropped into my gts

3. install the brake kit

4. try to beat my gtst *rofl*

am i forgetting something else? dont think i need nething else aye

rb25det 3200 bux

brake kit 800 bux

installation of the engine etc?

how much wud it cost? and am i forgetting something which i need to get the car going?

also works out cheaper then i can get forgies and do the works later (like next yr)

[elGTR]

'Geordie' Im not too sure about your statement , as for the Top Secret Supra with the rb26 engine it was purely built for track purposes not for all out power. If we're talking about power and which one produces more power, than the 2JZ has the advantage over the RB26.

[DaGr81]

cmon sum1 give me ideas to boost my car GTS's 1/4 mile time alot ive run 12.1 in my gtst which isnt too shabby now i need the same result on my gts and ive got about 7 - 8 grand ready to start throwing on the gts...ideas people ideas need more power and hence faster times

[scottman]

Put a Sr20det in it and Work the Bitch off its Tit's

[DaGr81]

hmmz, anymore ideas id prefer not to do that conversion, even tho its easy and cheap and will haul ass wen ive worked it, but sr20's limmits are reached too quickly
