what you need to get into your head is that the requirements for a drift car and a drag car are completely different from a power delivery and chassis set-up point of view

trying to build a 'hybrid' to do both jobs will result in a car that is compromised for both diciplines

to just 'turn the boost down' at the drift track won't help with regard to response- what you need for drift would be to use a turbo that will be able to make around 500hp with the smallest exhaust turbine size possible (somewhere around the .6 A/R range)

you'll notice in your video that even at freeway speeds, and changing at redline, the 3L R34 still had a brief pause after gear changes- this wouldn't be great on the drift track

okay i think i'll just have the car as a drag car and for burnout comps

i got a rb25de non vct head.....but i'm selling it on ebay now

i could have built another motor rb30det for drift

but whats the most rwkw from the hks t04z?

if i were u i woiuld keep the s13 an sr20 put an s15 turbo on it get about 200rwkw and drift that.

and with all the money u reckon ur gonna spend on this rb26/30 conversion get a gtr 32 and build that into ur street drag car.

and do heaps of research i reckon'

btw how old are u?????

u sound like my 9yo cousin the way u speak.

22 2day

Happy Birthday!

You say you wanna drift in a 400rwkw car, do you know how to drift by any chance or are you planning on practicing in this car? Because if you're learning in this car chances are you're gonna....... BAM!! $30k+ GONE!! sort of...

yeah thanks

i was trying to learn in the s13 silvia but it has a open wheel diff and ca18de has no power

will be getting a 2 way nismo diff and 5 stud conversion soon

any one watch that youtube lean to drift by the drift king... some one translates it to english

you know d guy he wears gloves cozz hes 2 good

i will learn b4 d motor is in coz i dun wanna wreck nuthin

im getting my tein super drift coilovers this week

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
