  1. i was thinking of just using the Tomei manifolds not the dumps I have to make custom dumps to fit the car im building but you say that Tomei crack ? thats no good thanks for the info ill continue to do my research
  2. yes ill be running rear diff cooler and ill have to look into a tranny cooler never heard of one. you think it would be a good idea to run a front diff cooler as well?
  3. im building a custom car with a r33 GTR powertrain and a full built rb26 check out my other 2 threads to see what im building and spec. My question is how should i go about building a very strong drive line. Im planning on a exedy twin clutch, all axles and drive shaft are custom built buy driveshaft.com and can handle more power then ill ever have. the rear diff is a stock r32 gtr lsd ill have the LSD rebuilt. the front diff is stock and ill be puting in a LSD. Now the center diff how strong is it ? is there a up grade kit or something that im not aware of? and the transmission i heard that 3rd gear is weak so is there a trany upgrade kit to fix this or do i just have to bit the bullet and buy a race trans like OS Giken? I do have a great transmission builder so a up grade would be no problem. Ill just be smooth on the powertrain till its fully upgraded but i want to be able to run it hard on the track with slick mainly race track but some drag racing. any help or advice with this would be great and if there are some treads i have not read please sent me links Thanks
  4. So any one have any advice on turbos bigger then -5s what would still have good response for this motor? and would i really get more power and response going to a single turbo ?
  5. will be a track car ill have a extra set of rims with track slicks for race days but will have to set it up for the 1/4 at least once to see how fast it is
  6. yeah i have a NOS kit on a shelf in my shop but im over NOS iv had it in like 3 or 4 cars i just want the power all the time no bottles to fill ill be running methanol injection so ill all ready have 2 fuels to fill
  7. i don't mind going with a little bigger turbo but I'm trying to keep it as responsive as possible i might just have to see how much power i get out of the -5s and if I don't get 650 HP or so ill try the GT2871r-10 just afraid i would have to much lag. O and the cost yeah its a lot Ill pry be right at $28,000.00 US all said and done
  8. The design i would have to say is going to be kinda a modern concept car im taking little bits of styling cues from concept cars Audi, Citrin,Jaguar and throwing my own style in. Here is a rough sketch of what the front will look like. Like i said before im not very good at 3D renderings Ill post the rear and side views once im happy with the design
  9. maybe im a little optimistic but with the above mods an over sized valves stage 2 cams, map intake conversion i would think im getting close
  10. how do you mean danger to the manifold ? i haven't heard of a good rb26 head porter that i would trust that lives with in 500 mile of me plus in my experience head porting is a art and very few are really good at it plus is it really worth 2 or 3 thousand dollers to get a little more power out of your motor when you can just turn the boost up a few pounds
  11. ill be running methanol injection an duel 3" exhaust with a little higher compression then most and if im close to 650hp i wont be to disappointed the still crazy fast
  12. THE ECU Ill be runing a AEM 30-6620 stand alone with a motec 3bar map sensor, ill be eliminating the stock maf's, and ill be using most of the AEM sensors like wide band O2's and so on
  13. THE BOTTOM END Brian Crower connecting rods BC6239, CP 9:1 pistons, 1.1 oil restrictor, tomei oil pump, WHAT head gasket would you use ?????, and what master gasket set would you use????? N1 water pump, ATI harmonic balancer 917753, ARP head studs and crank studs,
  14. Im start to plan my rb26dett build an would like to get some input on what i was thinking for the build. I have a 98 R33 rb26dett motor and want to do a full build on it. ill be building it in two stages and dont want to do any thing twice. what im looking for is 650 to 700HP and 9000rpm and as much response as possible this motor will be in a custom car im building from the ground up check out my other thread for the car build. THE TOP END I was thinking Brian crower 1mm over sized valves, BC stage 2 cams, BC valve springs,BC keepers,BC valve guid Greddy intake manifold, injector dynamics 1000cc. Tomei turbo manifolds, custom dump tubes 3" GARRETT GT2860r 5, all greddy piping and intake piping, the head will get a stage 1 port job and port match everything, as well as clean up the oil returns. Greddy timing belt, Mines cam Baffle plate, head drain kit
  15. WOW yeah very nicely done i like how clean the vavle covers, timing cover and the intake look. plus all the polished parts
  16. The body will be a fluid shape im using cold rolled 1/4" round bar steel to make the shape, kind like a spider web, plus to have strong mounting tabs. Then the steel will be wraped in fiber glass to create the fluid shape. then finally wraped in custom died blue carbon fiber. The carbon fiber will match the paint color so i can leave some of the carbon fiber exposed and it will all tie into the paint color. Im not very good at drawing 3D renderings so it would be hard to show the design I have some real simple 2D renderings Iv been working on ill post them once Iv finished them
  17. WOW beautiful work this cars is going to be amazing can't wait to see it done !!!!

    nice ride i have always really liked the silvia's but there very rare in the US. how much power you putting down ?
  19. I started a custom car build about 3 month ago and have a very ambitious and radical vision for the end product. Being that iv been in the custom car world and modifying them for 18 year or so i know that this will be the frist build in a long time that will push me and maximize my abilities. That being said here's what im building The powertrain is a full R33 GTR powertrain motor, tranny, diff's. the chassis is a full tubbular chassis with a honda S2000 rear suspension clip the front uses civic control arms and Ksport is making custom coilovers for me. Driveshaft Shop.com is making all 4 axle rated to 800HP and driveshaft to 1200HP. Ill be using Ksport big brakes all round 14" 8 piston up front and 13" 6 piston in the rear i have 19"X9.5 TSW rims all the way round right now but am plaining on a staggered set up probably a BC custom offset rims 19x9.5 front and 19x11 rear and i looked at tire sizes an with a 265/30/19 up front and a 315/25/19 rear the rolling measurement is with in a 1/3 of a % so not to have center diff issues. ill have LSD's front and rear plus a twin puck clutch. and ill use a ETS-Pro center diff controller to stick it all. The RB26 will get full built and ill start a thread on the motor build soon want to see what you guys think of the set up im plaining on. The body is my own design its very hard to explain but its bits from a hand full of concept cars that i like and my own style mixed in. It will be steel exoskeleton wrapped in fiberglass and carbon fiber using the steel for extra strength and mounting tabs cus this car will be raced on the weekends and car events exc. I dont want this car to be fragile. I want to use it so im sure when you see the pic's you'll see im over building it on purpose. plus the added safety will keep me alive ill be adding more pic's as i go and if you have any Questions hit me up
