Sydneykid, feel free to PM me your honest opinion :P

I think we would all like to hear it. Whats it like on the street, does it just burst into wheel spin as soon as you get on boost? looks like it would be a handful to drive fast.

Dont get me wrong, i wasnt trying to put a downer on your results mate.. And im all for wheelspin.

My old 180 had 360rwhp and spun in 3rd coming onto boost on some surfaces.... but thought in 4th and with 197rwkw (or any car that spins a lot in 4th for that matter) you might want to look at your setup.

As fun as wheelspin is, nothing feels as awesome when it hooks up and slams you hard into the seat.

ok, the car is a drift car, not s street car, so i was after a fairly sharp torque range in the midrange for responce and the ability to keep the tyres smoking after entering a high speed corner while slowing down for a slow speec hair pin. XSomething a stock Rb20 doesnt do well.

not too fussed about making much more peak power... would rather have reliability and midrange torque then massive peak HP.

cheers

me = 270rwkw + no loss of traction coming on boost in 2nd/3rd at all running 245 streeters.... then i went to 300+ and only then did it squirm. Gotta control the right foot :(

That was a nice push into the seat.

guess thats the joy of linear power rather than a light-switch.

but a light-switch turbo would be much better suited to drift one would think. But i guess you can argue either way

... whereas with a bb turbo it would be more gradual resulting in less wheelspin.

Thats funny as the cars with big BB turbo that i have been in kick you in the guts and knock your teeth out! Then my turbo for isntance seems a bit duller when it ramps onto boost.

Perhaps mine has been tuned with the fact its rwd and i go to the track in mind??? I dont know, but the supposed hard boosting trust turbo on mine doesnt seem to hit hard...i want to scare myself when it comes onto boost , who cares if its slower :thumbsup:

    • It is not a dual mass flywheel, so you will get some gear noise on a BNR34 unless you deviate from the OEM fluid spec and run a thick gear oil like what Nismo recommended for a while. Unfortunately I have never weighed the flywheel by itself prior to installation but it is not that light. It's probably an 8-9 kg flywheel. OEM BNR34 dual mass flywheel is like 14 kg which is kind of hilariously heavy. 
    • Got around to installing the Tomei Cam Cap Studs and the Hypertune cam baffles/splash guards. Unfortunately, I was not aware that the cam cap studs do not clear the stock RB25 internal cam cover baffles. Some research found a set from boostdoc which includes a replacement cam cover baffle and full length cam baffle + tools and fasteners. but I'm not keen on re-buying what I have already bought. So the plan is to take the hard route and modify the existing cam cover baffles to clear both the cam cap studs and the hypertune cam baffle plate. I assume there must be people who have gone through this even just to convert from cam cap bolts to cam cap studs? If so any tips would be appreciated. Otherwise I think I will mark where the cam cap studs foul, drill clearance holes in the cam cover baffle, and remove the cam cover baffle oil returns to clear the  hypertune baffle plate. I will also need to remove the baffle and drill and tap threads to bolt it back on so i can clean out any swarf. Fuel tank foam as extra cam cover baffling?
    • The incoming weather event seems to be affecting people in weird ways....🤣 And no, whilst there is some fancy engineering going on, I have no real interest in anything rotary really I had a Capella in the 90's, the rotary engine is way to temperamental, and extremely thirsty for my liking  If I won lotto and wanted to waste a ton of cash, a boosted K-swap would be what I would look at, until then, the N/A MZR2.5 will be at home in the engine bay of the NC A build like this, just without the idiotic street pulls and skids would be interesting to waste a huge amount of money on https://youtu.be/EgqAoVtUD1E?si=n3_umivrUPP8C9Cs
    • Now we're getting somewhere. All we need is a fractional rotor system so we can also have the RX3 and 5 back, and the world will be right again.
    • With that engine being a one rotor, would that make this into an RX4?
