I'll swap you my E85 setup for it, minus the injectors and fuel pump

What's a pulley upgrade?

John Milner would settle this debate

We'll have to agree to disagree...I haven't driven a 2 litre that's wowed me down low and held it through the rev range yet. Evos especially with their weight disadvantage - feel like you have to give them heaps to get them moving, and a Skylines are bad enough for that.

Bottom line: whatever you do to a 2 litre you can do to a 2.5 and enjoy approximately 20% more of it There is no replacement for displacement (within reason) There has been no amazing production engine development for bottom end torque since these engines were created; VVT is as good as it gets for broadening the power band, but that is a mid-top end power increase.

Is that my dyno plot? In depth research lol My setup is 16psi throughout, with a laggy IWG highflow inside a Nissan comp cover for stealth. The SR, with what sounds like an over-boosted small turbocharger at 22psi...is not really impressing me. It would be a quick car, but put a smaller EWG turbo on mine that doesn't get choked in the top end...it'll move the graph down 500rpm off the spool and make much the same power as both of us up top, albeit not as stealth.

Responsive/hub dyno

Yeah your car is the oppositeResponsive, but after the initial pull from down low that makes you go woah it doesn't feel as fast as it is after that You running better tyres yet? Should do some gtech runs again

There's also the problem of what people consider response to be - it seems to have 4 different definitions

I don't think we're gonna hear many more details; all sounds a bit classified until the case blows over

Yeah I don't buy that wheelspin in x gear stuff...it's like people talking about cars wheelspinning/chirping in 4th...unless 11ty kw, it's almost always ling long tyres with awful camber and shitty clutch work. In a 260rwkw S chassis with 265 Hankooks, having to tread lightly with the throttle in third is not a success of the engine...it's a failure of the suspension/drivetrain/tyre setup IMO. Our race S15 ran 285rwkw on E85 and third held all the way from boost to redline. 2nd almost did it at full throttle on semis. The S chassis can certainly give the illusion of being quicker and more responsive because it's lighter, but it needs to weigh around 20% lighter than a Skyline to achieve this...and going back to the original discussion about Evos which are often heavier...they feel like ass off boost compared to Skylines (that don't have huge turbos). I'd put it down to you (I'm assuming here) not having driven a responsive RB25 that still makes decent power for fair comparison to mildly modified 2 litre engines. If you didn't have such a god awful curse following you around I'd invite you to try mine.

lol Wasnt a manual

As it should be And greg pls...no car is kicking out at 30km/h in 3rd gear without a clutch dump on shot tyres in the rain! There's nothing magical in the Jap 2 litre engines, unless very high comp and E85, that's going to make them more responsive or less laggy than a 2.5 with similar top end power. I'm yet to drive one more responsive than my 2.5 that doesn't die in the ass after the mid range cause of its tiny turbo...happy to be shown otherwise...

Use sealant, it's good stuff Just use the more removable high temp stuff, usually red in colour

Were* Now new China

If there's one thing Singaporeans can do, it's build shit Using people from the rest of the world

You have a huge turbo on yours though, don't you? Can't compare response with nearly twice the power After driving a slightly Modified 8MR, then getting back in my car, off boost wasn't as annoying for me anymore
