haha, yeah we wernt lucky enought to have the sr in our cars over here, altho with the money ive spent on the rb i could have had a right nasty ka24de.

its got its ups and downs but ive almost got her running right, once i sort out the strange boost problem (boost isnt constant, always changes) it should be fun to sneak up on ppl with.

*edit*

over here in the us its about 3.5-4k usd for a good sr front clip, where as the rb20 only cost me 1.2k usd.

while i may have spent alot of money on this setup it cost me less to build this than it would have cost to swap in a stock sr.

Haha good move than mate! Hmm maybe the 6 cylinders can be better in some ways. :)

well according to SydneyKid an engine with more cylinders and the same capacity will make more power mod for mod (I think that's what he said). So a SR20 and a RB20 mod for mod will have the RB make more power.

stock TB, rob at RIPS said that it should be good to 450bhp and if i needed more the manifold is set up for an overbore TB.

as for the filter setup, its nothing more than some wire mesh i got at the craft store (1/4" spacing i believe) and a 'detailers pad' i got at the local parts store with the foam removed.

filter gets dirty quick so it requires frequent changing, lucily its cheap to replace (bout 3$usd for a pack of 4).

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
