Oooh how fun! Good thread dude! I hope alot of you guys go down and give it a whirl. I've already got my dyno sheets so im right lol. But for the rest of you be a good idea on what your getting even tho dallas dyno is out of wack a bit!

I think i recall Fabio saying 70$ for 3 runs or something? So group buy be alot cheaper.

In the talk of dyno and drags, who's entering this up-coming event?

I'll have fresh tyres and some better gearbox oil in so im up. I get paid before the day so no excuses this time! Touch wood!

I have a few entry forms for the Show 'n' Shine if anyone wants one. They can be dropped off at ASAP or The bike shop near the traffic lights...

You can pay when drop off or on the day! i rekon we enter the Street Machine category. if we can get enough of us to enter they will add a category for us next year!!! So everyone needs to enter, it's only $20...

$20 aint much to support the cause! Any presentable car in town has no excuse for not turning up.

Even though the judges will be V8 biased, hopefully a import will get a place in Street Machine.

Surely a import will take out the sound off.

Yeah jimmy man, if your still up for doing a bit of finishing up cleaning at the carwash before we head to S&S on sunday let me know. I'll have to spend some time cleaning the crap out of mine and would be better to roll up with someone then be nigal lol

ok guys wat should i do for my sr20det 180sx??

here are the options:

1. rebuild my current motor with forged internals ect ect - will cost roughly $3000.00 in parts

2. buy another standard engine and just replace mine - can get one for about $2000.00

3. buy an rb25 and do a conversion into my car - is going to cost about $5000 from a place in adelaide going off their website. might cost more i dont know

currently my engine is suffering from low compression, dead turbo and the keyway on the crank is worn out.

im only looking to make about 240 ish rwkw and this can be done with a standard bottom end and will still be reliable.

so what you think?

My choice be 2.

I would go the Std engine. If your only after 220-240kws then that can happen no worries on std internals and engine man. Bolt on could get you netting that and still be very streetable and a weapon at that. And on lowish boost.

It will be cheaper for you to buy a std engine and then bolt ons and a trip down to adelaide or melb for not that much.

But thats all i would do. Rb25 is sweet, but for that extra $$ you could put towards other things.

Its entirly up to you tho man. My choice will would be above. Std engine. Your current bolt ons plus a decent bang turbo and a sweet tune and you will have your 220-240kw no friggen worries. If i can get almost that at all 4's with just bolt ons and a tune you will have it no worries without breaking a sweat!!!. And the left over money can go towards panels maybe? Paint? Im sure Fab will help you out eh?

Hopefully you make a decision soon tho :( Roads pretty empty out there without that chick on the bonnet :laugh:

But as i said before, up to you man. Do what you think you will be happy with.

Option 2 would definately be the smartest choice on a budget? Shop around for quality!

Option 1 & 3 could easily blow out to 2-3 times the costs quoted! RB25 = TAC report & engineering :(

    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.   
    • Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
