Project 31

[NOOBZ]

Hi peoplz,

Just starting a thread up for my project for every one to see and have there view on it!

Project: 84-86 31 Skyline

Engine: Nothing in bay

Conversion: RB20

I have bought the 31 from a good mate of mine and will be putting in a RB20.

I will be going to have a look at the engine next thursday, as well as the car and ill also be picking up some rims (stock steelies) just so i can roll the car to my mechanical engineer that ill be helping with the coversion, if i have any time off work! And to get the car registed with the new engine in!

I will have pics up of the car and the engine on thursday nite...

The mods im looking at would have to be Adjustable Cams, Turbosmart eBoost 2, Deceptor Pro BOV, FMIC, Walbro 040 Fuel Pump, High Flow the T28 and possibly an external gate, Apexi AFC Neo, Apexi turbo timer, and many more (just cant think lol)

May I suggest an RB25 if the budget allows?

I know RB20s are pretty cheap tho

[NOOBZ]

lol na man budget is 3k that includes car, engine rego and install with my engineer which he will be thrown in a cert with the install costs

[SKYRYAN]

R31 = $1

RB25 + install = $2999

=$3000

i believe the 040 is a bosch

im sure theres cheaper boost controllers out there thne the eboost as that cost 800?

prof b cost around 500 these days which is also a good one

[Dsturbd]

Yea i see you left out brakes in that costing .. doing it the tight ass way is bad

LOL i hope the engineer makes you upgrade brakes

hahaha bois haha

yeh soz thanks for that disturbd lol yeh ill be doin brakes but at first ill only be doin minor mods to start with then wen i get into full port polish and honed head and forged internals and bigger turbo and fuel and everything else is wen ill be doind brakes! But for now its just gona be a light build with just so i can rego the car!!! lol

Also mitchy ive gone and got the latest issue of hot4s and in that was a crx in one of the cruise pages for a honda cruise in vic and this car look massivly like a shitty stock crx but man oh bloody man the shit it had in it was unbeliveable hahaha it even had a black painted FMIC hidin behind the stock front bar and this thing FWD was runnin somethin like 185kw at the front wheels lol massive for a B16 FWD...

So i was actually thinking til i either get a custom front bar or a complete upgraded body kit (the one now is also awesome) ill prob go with the sleeper look for sure!!! hehehe just make it look like its just a plain old shitty rb30e skyline hahaha

R32 driver the 040 is walbro and the 044 is the bosch im pretty sure as thats wot was advertised in modyourcar.com... but ill deff lookinto it again haha

but yeh ill have full pics and everything on thursday for sure

So you want to double the power of a 20yr old 31 with out upgrading the brakes , you idiot

[DCIEVE]

lol give the guy a break

[Dsturbd]

lol give the guy a break

LOL would you give him a break if he plowed into ya coupe

[R34P3R]

LOL would you give him a break if he plowed into ya coupe

if it was a riced up Hyundai/Lancer coupe i would give him a medal

I agree

the brakes should be the very first thing done before any engine work begins

car pobaby wouldn't make it over pits without brake upgrade

[NOOBZ]

yeh cheers for the info!

Neways im not an idiot the car had a rb20 already in it so im just replacing it!

Besides ime making the build in stages and to start off with im just installing engine to get it regod so i can just drive round and save to start moding it!!!

But yes i already no that brakes would have to be the first things and im working on that, just not yet wen its only gona be a stock engine!!!

you know brake should be first, but you're not doing them first?

regardless of if its a stock engine or not, an 20det puts out more power than a 30e, and after seeing the size of the stock brakes, i'm glad mine has 33 gts-t brakes all round.
