Hey all
I recently swapped my vn ss for a r32 nissan skyline. It has a rb20det in it, a front mount that has seen better days and a clutch that I wouldn't trust with my mother.
So im in the process of buying coilovers and with that sorted I have started to think along the lines of power.
I have three real options here. Re-build my rb20, which im not really keen on and the only reason I would see myself doing this is if I can not aquire a newer better motor and gearbox.
One of the other options is buying a written off R32 GTR and use the rb26dett, convert it to RWD, build it up slighty eg New turbos, fuel, cams, afm, alloy radiator.
Or I can buy a written off r33 with a rb25det in it. I am very keen to go the rb25det as Its not as rare as a gtr and Its newer.
My aim is to produce a tough street/track car to drift and hill runs. Im looking at between 250 - 300 RWKWS. I have been looking through the power figures in the Turbo upgrade section and have a fair Idea as to what I want.
I am thinking RB25DET
computer: Power FC with HC
Head: cams, cam gears
Head gasket: thinner maybe 1.9mm or something
block: standard? Is this possible with the power figures im after or will I need to maybe go forged?
Intake Manifold: Forward facing intake plenium
Turbo: Bigger turbo? Unsure as to what type, don't want anything to rediculious as this will still be a street car.
Exhaust: Top mount exhaust manifold, 3Inch Turbo back Exhaust
Radiator: Alloy radiator
Intercooler: FMIC
AFM: Z32 AFM
Fuel: Walbro fuel pump, fuel regulator, bigger injectors 700 cc, fuel rail
Ignition: Coilpacks? Maybe if I can afford it. Are they worth it?
Oil: Oil catch can? What does it do? is there some modification needed to run this?
Clutch: HD clutch
Gearbox: RB25 Gearbox
As you can see Im leaning towards the RB25det, is it a good idea power and financual wise as apposed to a RB26dett? Also is a single turbo better then a twin turbo for drifting?
Does anyone have a rough Idea what kind of power I could get depending on the turbo? Any Turbo suggestions would be appricated.
Cheers Tyrone
