Just Got A New Motor In The Ceffy


Recommended Posts

hey there. i have a a31 cefiro, its my drift car, track only. recently blew the motor so i got another rb20 from nisswreck, the motor is getting put in as we speak and my old turbo and cams being put on and in. hks cams, cam gears, 25/30 turbo. fuel pressure reg. last dyno with the old motor with all that gear on it made 190rwkw on 17psi. the computer is chipped already from japan but i think it would be better to get it tuned for a different fuel? coz im sure they use sum crazy stuff over there.

just wondering what you can suggest i do next. it needs a better exhaust, and a remap i think and not sure what else engine wise to get it smoking nicely and most important of all, reliable.

cheers. luke

not so sure about the tune for fuel, they(jap tuners) usualy make it run a lil more rich shudn't be much of a problem,

pics of the ceffy?

specs on the ceffy?

or is dat all nd everything else is stock?

so u brought it in as track only under the race/rally law? if u did shud have just bought a ex drift car wit all da mods

yeh i dunno im thinking maybe the engine blowing over was coming all along and thats why it wasnt making much power? we will see how it goes with this new motor ( goes in this week)

dnt have any pics besides 1s of the previous owner driving it on track and only front sideways shots.

specs, umm its got a full roll cage, hicas lock bar, d2 coilovers all round, 2way lsd, front + rear strut brace, front mount, uras front bar, 17" wheels. nismo twin plate clutch + flywheel, fuel pressure reg, 2530 turbo, hks cams, cam gears. race seat, harness, guages. rolled front guards. adjustable castor rods, gtr fuel pump.

thats all i can remember off the top of my head. so yeah to ur comment i kinda did buy a ex drift car ( was brought over from japan with no front end (motor, bar, lights guards etc etc.) thats what i got told by the previous owner (he had it for a few months in adelaide).

so whats next engine wise.

yeh well its already blown 1 box. i bought it with a blown box so yeh i put another 1 in. see how we go. if it blows another ill go a 25 box or a easier clutch lol, whatever my pocket can afford.

yeh i was thinking just a tune to make sure its all good. what do you guys think of bee r rev limiters? are they bad for the engine in anyway or turbo as there is plenty of combustions happening behind the turbo.

i rly think the car is pretty much good until i get alot more practice and get smoother and more comfortable, then bigger rears to get me speed and more power will definately be on the agenda.

At least a re-map... Unless you can acquire a drum of toluene.

Fuel pump. Then metal head gasket, GTR or 13B injectors, Z32 AFM and up the boost.

Well something along those lines anyway..

Edit: Of course will make more sense to do injectors etc before the tune to save dollerzizz

    • GTX2860R Gen 2 is an option. No, it doesn't actually do much. The basic problem with wanting 600 whp out of the factory twin turbo setup is a few things. One is that the twin turbo piping is just so, so inefficient. The front and rear turbos are not actually working evenly. The rear turbo is always moving more air than the front. On top of this the OEM rear compressor inlet is rubber that likes to collapse causing a huge intake restriction. The merge doesn't even wait until the intercooler to happen, and it happens at a 90 degree angle. This is why you see some discussion about "turbo shuffle", where in certain conditions one turbo can actually force air to go backwards into the other compressor and stall it out, then once the other turbo recovers it stalls out the first turbo in a cycle until you do something to break out of it. The other issue is that the RB26 is just not that efficient an engine. It needs a surprising amount of ignition timing to reach MBT for a given cylinder pressure so all that time in which the cylinder is pressurizing before TDC is just wasted energy. An N54 might be around 10 degrees BTDC on a stock turbo getting into the boost. An RB26 is closer to 25 BTDC. Net effect is a turbo roughly the size of what HKS uses on the GTIII-SS (smaller than the R3/GCG Japan "GT2860-1" -7s) is only good for maybe 550 crank hp or low 400 whp while a roughly comparable turbo on an N54 can deliver something like 700 crank hp and obviously drivetrain losses are greatly reduced when you aren't burning a bunch of power on keeping a hydraulic pump + transfer case preloaded all the time. So yes, you can make a lot of power but there's a reason why people go single turbo for the numbers you're asking about. Don't forget that the RB26 can't even do a straight line pull without oil starving on the stock oil pan either. Baffles can help, but really you just need more oil capacity.
    • Yeah sure, which messenger app is it?
    • would you like to be added to the messenger group?
    • Found some from 2009. The lobster bends were smoothed out on the inside with minimal gaps (perhaps 2mm) where the silicone joiners were used. 
    • And if you have to drive it in a civilised (or excessively woke) US state, find a way to register and insure it in a redneck state, so you can roll coal in it without worrying about legalities.
