its all about power to weight. bikes generally have less power than modified turbo cars, but they will flog most of them in a roll on drag. Dont be surprised if a 1600 with a stock sr20 beats your mildly modified R33.

Its not so bad though, imagine how HSV GTS owners feel with 300kw when they get done by less powerful, but much lighter, S13's etc.

My gf has a brand new S15 Spec R GT and her car stock as a rock.... NO MODS...

Onlys has 2200km's on the clock and it keeps up with me... I win but not by much but she is a good driver... LOL (As good as a woman gets anyway)

Ouch dont hit these guys know its true...

Dr GTR is correct, that's pretty close to a standard Gts-t's power output isn't it?

What's with all you Nissan people bashing other Nissan cars?!? :P

The SR20DET is a classic, the RB26DETT is a classic. They can both get up around 1000HP. I personally don't think the RB25DET is in the same league as these 2 engines.

I've never seen an RB25DET with 1000HP.

I like the S14's and the R33's.

With enough money & engineering *most* engines can make 1000hp (some would have few OEM parts remaining!)

Why haven't you seen any 1000hp RB25DET's? Because the RB26DETT is a better starting point if you want to build a 1000hp Nissan straight 6.

Don't think for a second that it's easy to built a seriously powerfully & reliable SR20DET / RB26DETT (700+hp) Big $$$ & serious engine work. It's no different if someone were to choose the RB25DET as a base for a 1000hp. Give me the money & I'll be the first to build a 1000hp RB25DET.

The Silvia platform is one of Nissan’s best, sorry to see it go. It's reasonably cheap, light weight, powerful & very "chuckable".

Silvia vs. GTS25t..... It all comes down to personal preference.

I may be biased but I've yet to hear a decent exhaust note from an SR20DET :P they sound...um...sort of... 'farty'.

get outta here, u tryin to say an sr20det can get 1000hp and an rb25det cant......u gotta be kiddin me

firstly, how much of the sr2odet is an sr20det when its got a 1000hp, id be inclinde to call it a jun20det or hks20det

and secondly, anything can make 1000hp, its all money.

All nissans rock, and they r very similar, ive been up against a few lightly modded s14s, and mines only slightly modded, i havent been beaten but u dont blow em away either..comes down to money and driver..

ask them for rolling starts :D

a decent driver in a S13 or S14 or S15 will be extremely hard to beat...

speaking from experience Franks?? HHAhahaha..

anyways..as i've said before...big HP doesnt necessarily equates to fast car....a lot of factors come into play like driver skills, weight, drivetrain, suspension, fuel, cooling etc...

sub zero must be pretty close with there rb25!

I think TRY09 is an RB30/26DETT combo? It's certainly not an RB25DET - if that's the Subzero car you were thinking of?

with their RB30/26DETT, why did they choose the more expensive GTR head instead of the RB25 head? cos i'm looking at having a go at doing a RB30/25 hybrid, and i'd be keen to know why RB26 head is the go over the RB25 head. Do they keep the Variable Cam Timing?

I've got a nice turbo/exhaust manifold setup for an RB25DET so that's why i'd pick the RB25 head, so i can bolt it on (i've been told it won't fit an RB26 head)

Thanks

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
