Well guys, the time has come to advertise my s14a 200sx. It's going to be very sad to see her go but it's time to move on and look at buying a house!! Here is a link to the car sales add so you can see the pictures. The photo's were taken in december and it's due to be featured in Hot 4's early this year.

The car has a huge list of mods and you won't find too many cars around that have as much work to so many areas of the car. The motor has been built with the same Bottom end as the Mercury Motorsport s13 which makes over 420rwkw with no gas, so it can really take some pumishment. As I work for Mercury as well the car has had all the best parts tested on it and you can be sure that the current combo works well as many hours of fine tuning have been spent on the dyno and the street. The car can be used a s a daily driver as it still has AC but it's equally at home on the track! It could also have the interior stripped out of it and be used as a dedicated circuit/drift car.

Here is a list of most of the mods. The car currently makes 280rwkw on 22psi with 98 ron pump fuel and 314rwkw on 25psi with race fuel. I have since changed the ignition system to split fires and opened the plug gaps up a bit as I was having ignition problems. The car will be going on the dyno on the next few weeks for a final tune and I will be looking for 300rwkw on pump fuel. Full boost (22psi) is achieved at 4050 rpm so the car is far from laggy and it's actually better to drive with this setup then it was with the HKS GTRS which was previously on the car

Engine external and fuel system: Garrett 3076s (HKS 3037) 56 trim with .63 haust housing, 6 boost custom exhaust manifold & polished exhaust housing heat shield, Tial 44mm external wastegate, Braided oil and water lines for turbo with speed flow fittings, custom polished stainless intercooler piping, 600x300x76 bar and plate intercooler, Trust type R BOV, 3.5” custom stainless exhaust with 3.5” resonator and 3.5” straight through cannon muffler, Split fire ignition system, Z32 AFM and apexi pod filter, polished plenum, ported intake runners, Koyo 53mm polished alloy radiator, custom thermo fan setup, Nismo 740 cc injectors, Walbro in tank pump, Bosch 044 external pump, ARE surge tank in boot, custom NPC 5 puck ceramic button clutch & lightened flywheel, Nismo radiator cap and oil filler cap, silicon coolant hoses and vacuum lines, 60mm throttle body, oil filter relocation kit

Electronics and interior: Apexi power fc with hand controller, Blitz SBC ID 2 electronic boost controller, Defi BF series oil temp, oil pressure and boost gauges, pivot super temp controller (fan controller), New Z32 AFM, Bride brix drivers seat, Sparco deep dish suede steering wheel, pioneer MP3 head unit, kenwood 6” front speakers, Focal 6.5” rear speakers, Trust gear knob, Viper alarm system with remote start up, pager and auto window winder.

Suspension, wheels and brakes: Zeal function V 6 inverted mono tube coilovers, swift 8kg/mm/6kg/mm springs, whiteline adjustable front and rear sway bars, Cusco tension rod brace, Cusco adjustable rear upper arms, Cusco adjustable toe rods & castor rods, uras alloy sub frame bushes, front strut brace, Nismo engine and gear box mounts, R33 GTST front callipers with Ferodo ds2500 pads, DBA 4000 series slotted front and rear rotors, standard rear callipers with race brakes RB74 pads, Cusco master cylinder stopper brace, braided brake lines, Buddy Club P1 racing 17x 8 and 17 x 9 wheels with Federal RS semi slick tyres, light weight buddy club wheel nuts,

Body work: Standard white pearl paint, custom edge front bar & side skirts, veilside rear pods, Genuine ganador side mirrors, genuine clear front indicators, clear side indicators, badges removed.

    • So it's a ginormous undertaking that will be a massive headache but will be sorta cool if pulled off right. And also expensive. I'm sure it'll be as expensive as buying the car itself. I don't think you could just do this build without upgrading other things to take the extra power. Probably lots of custom stuff as well. All this assuming the person has mechanical knowledge. I'm stupid enough to try it but smart enough to realize there's gonna be mistakes even with an experienced mechanic. I'm a young bloke on minimum wage that gets dopamine from air being moved around and got his knowledge from a Donut video on how engines work.]   Thanks for the response though super informative!
    • Yes, it is entirely possible to twincharge a Skyline. It is not....without problems though. There was a guy did it to an SOHC RB30 (and I think maybe it became or already was a 25/30) in a VL Commode. It was a monster. The idea is that you can run both compressors at relatively low pressure ratios, yet still end up with a quite large total pressure ratio because they multiply, not add, boost levels. So, if the blower is spun to give a 1.4:1 PR (ie, it would make ~40 kPa of boost on its own) and the turbo is set up to give a 1.4:1 PR also, then you don't get 40+40 = 80 kPa of boost, you get 1.4*1.4, which is pretty close to 100 kPa of boost. It's free real estate! This only gets better as the PRs increase. If both are set up to yield about 1.7 PR, which is only about 70 kPa or 10ish psi of boost each, you actually end up with about 1.9 bar of boost! So, inevitably it was a bit of a monster. The blower is set up as the 2nd compressor, closest to the motor, because it is a positive displacement unit, so to get the benefit of putting it in series with another compressor, it has to go second. If you put it first, it has to be bigger, because it will be breathing air at atmospheric pressure. The turbo's compressor ends up needing to be a lot larger than you'd expect, and optimised to be efficient at large mass flows and low PRs. The turbo's exhaust side needs to be quite relaxed, because it's not trying to provide the power to produce all the boost, and it has to handle ALL the exhaust flow. I think you need a much bigger wastegate than you might expect. Certainly bigger than for an engine just making the same power level turbo only. The blower effectively multiplies the base engine size. So if you put a 1.7 PR blower on a 2.5L Skyline, it's like turboing a 4.2L engine. Easy to make massive power. Plus, because the engine is blown, the blower makes boost before the turbo can even think about making boost, so it's like having that 4.2L engine all the way from idle. Fattens the torque delivery up massively. But, there are downsides. The first is trying to work out how to size the turbo according to the above. The second is that you pretty much have to give up on aircon. There's not enough space to mount everything you need. You might be able to go elec power steering pump, hidden away somewhere. but it would still be a struggle to get both the AC and the blower on the same side of the engine. Then, you have to ponder whether you want to truly intercool the thing. Ideally you would put a cooler between the turbo and the blower, so as to drop the heat out of it and gain even more benefit from the blower's positive displacement nature. But that would really need to be a water to air core, because you're never going to find enough room to run 2 sets of boost pipes out to air to air cores in the front of the car. But you still need to aftercool after the blower, because both these compressors will add a lot of heat, and you wil have the same temperature (more or less) as if you produced all that boost with a single stage, and no one in their right mind would try to run a petrol engine on high boost without a cooler (unless not using petrol, which we shall ignore for the moment). I'm of the opinnion that 2x water to air cores in the bay and 2x HXs out the front is probably the only sensible way to avoid wasting a lot of room trying to fit in long runs of boost pipe. But the struggle to locate everything in the limited space available would still be a pretty bad optimisation problem. If it was an OEM, they'd throw 20 engineers at it for a year and let them test out 30 ideas before deciding on the best layout. And they'd have the freedom to develop bespoke castings and the like, for manifolds, housings, connecting pipes to/from compressors and cores. A single person in a garage can either have one shot at it and live with the result, or spend 5 years trying to get it right.
    • Good to know, thank you!
    • It's a place for non car talk. There's whoretown which is general shit talking. But also other threads coving all sorts of stuff(a lot still semi car related)
    • Looked it up. It sounds so expensive lmao I'd rather not. Awwwww but I just love that sound
