lol, why 225.00kwS?

If this is in relation to the thread you made in vic section, then yes mate, turbo will be the "smartest" interms of cheapest, but its still not that cheap to get it all up and running....

get a turbo

I wish i could but im on p's

nah WYTSKY its coz im on my p's i wish i could but yeh...

FYI the "smartest" thing to do would be to learn to drive. Upgrading the thing behind the wheel is the best "bang for buck" performance mod you can do, and it'll carry over to any car you own in the future.

As for nos ill pass im not Bryan O'connor

You've got GT-R "badging" on your name but you drive a 2WD Skyline, so if the last movie is anything to go by you're closer to O'Connor than you may think.

Stroking will cost like a few K. Cams yeh i surpose.

Good luck hitting 225kW with an old, non-turbo, 10+ year old, 2.5L engine that doesn't have VTAK or some other cam profile fiddling shenanigans. A stocker will make 140kW[/url] so you're effectively asking for 50% more power than a reasonably fresh engine.

There's no way you're doing that without cracking open the engine if you don't have boost or bottle. And that's going to cost you more than "a few K" to do.

Hahaha i like keyboard warriors like you. Really entertaining and full of ego but stop before you embarrass yourself ok? First off Without seeing me drive how can you make an automatic assumption of my driving skills? you have no right. Secondly Does the badge in my name really have to correspond with what i drive? Does that mean i have to be a GTS right now and once i get a GTR i have to re-register and THEN call myself RxGTR? Maybe its the future car i want. Maybe its the car i worship so don't i have the right to put it in my name if i choose too? Without anyone flaming me?

Your NA RB25 will not make 225 KW naturally aspirated for under, say, ten grand minimum. At my trade prices.

Stroker kit: Tomei, 2.8 litre kit. Nearly 10 grand by itself.

Cams: Needed for higher RPM breathing - RPM being the only real way to increase your power considerably. Custom ground from comp cams is around 1500+ for a pair.

Independant Throttle Bodies: Can do it yourself with 4AGE ones and a modified intake, but still I would believe that alone would cost 3 grand.

Exhaust: a good $1500.

ECU: at these power levels neccessary - another 2 grand lets say tuned.

PLUS: a slew of other components from wiring to injectors to fuel pump and everything inbetween.

Even then its not gonna happen. Not without a RB30 bottom end and a modified RB26 head anyway.

You say you want to do it cheap? Let me put it to you like this. Your suggesting that without spending big dollars your car will DOUBLE its stock wheel power output?

Dream on.

Learn to drive first, I don't care how skilled you SAY you are your still a p plater in a NA skyline i.e. nothing special (unless of course you have raced at tracks since a young age go-karts, then once you had your licence normal open track days). Do some advanced driving courses at your local track. Not THAT expensive plus they are really worth it.

I'm not flaming - you don't have realistic goals. Realistically you could get, say, 130 RWkW's out of an R33 gts without spending a ridiculous amount of money. Not 225kW. Does anyone on here have a naturally aspirated stock engine size with that power? No. No they do not. Many R33 and R34 GTS-T's don't make that much power.

Research first. Otherwise you just sound like an idiot.

Edited by R33_Dude

save the money now, sell the car for when your off your p's, and then buy a GTR, simple,

everyone wants everything NOW, well you cant have the cake and eat it too, not flaming you or anything,

because once you get to say 200 or 225kw your gona want more and more, it never stops lol, i turboed my car thinking il be happy with 180-200 atw,

i have 180+ on it at the moment, and im already over it, dont get me wrong it will be fun, but for how long?,

wish i was patient and saved the money that i have put into my car, would have bought myself a R32 Gtr, a few nice ones on the forums with fresh rebuilds,

peace

Hehe another keyboard warrior. And you're another person automatically assumes things.. how sad... im surprised that you even bothered commenting when you knew that you were going use an aggressive stance

Thankyou J3TR33 ill take your word and start saving. At least you're not the typical douche bags thats here to flame p-platers. thankyou again

If you have no budget constraints it might be possible at a stretch..

Guaranteed, if you do work it that hard and it would have to be "fully worked" it'll be a temperamental pig of a thing to drive.

A much better idea is either more cubes or forced induction.

Been there, lost that.

lol, this guy wants help, he gets it and then calls them keyboard warriors.

if you really want that power, look at a motor upgrade to either Ls1 OR 350z/V35 worked motor which will cost more then a few k.

theres a few na guys here running just over 150rwkw with quite alot of $$$$ put into them.

you're talkinga bout 225kw at the wheels or engine?

then there is missr34 who got 177rwkw with nos.

lol unfortunately flaming isn't help.

Ive re- thought maybe around 150kw. smarter?

He stated facts. Gave real examples of what would be needed to possibly achieve that power figure without turbocharging.

Now you mentioned that you fall under P Plate restrictions, and your user name has underneath it Melbourne Victoria.

http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/initiati...pply_if_yo.html

From this date a probationary licence holder cannot drive a vehicle if it has:

  • An engine of eight or more cylinders;
  • a turbocharged or supercharged engine (except diesel powered vehicles);
  • an engine that has been modified to increase its performance; and/or
  • any of the following high performance six cylinder vehicles as published in the
    Government Gazette:

To get 225KW out of a N/A RB25, some SERIOUS engine modifications will need to occur! It's not simply a case of no turbocharged cars and thats all. Take for example the 350Z.

Decide whether you want to keep this Skyline and modify it in the longterm (whether it be turbo modification or whatever), and then decide whether to drive it till you're off your P's and can drive a turbocharged Skyline. If you're happy to keep it N/A for now and want to make more use of power, then as said, improve your driving skills, get out on the track, do suspension and handling modifications and learn to control the car and get the most out of it in its N/A form.

Driving skill is something that takes years to develop, and even then practice makes perfect. 225kw's in a rear wheel drive is a lot of power compared to the 90-100rwkw that an N/A Skyline puts down at the wheels in its stock form, and without the supporting mods to control that power as well as the driver skill, things can turn ugly quickly.

Just a few supporting mods to control this sort of power: Tyres that can reliably put down 225kws, the right suspension set up, and brakes to stop that sort of power. Three important things that really you can do now, in preparation for more power when you're off your P's. No point having all that power if you can't get it to the ground, and stop the car just as quickly as it goes.

Now before you call me a keyboard warrior and flaming, I'm 23, I'm on my P's till the end of this year, fortunately I don't fall under the restrictions...however... I spent a year modifying my R34 starting with suspension, wheels/tyres, and brakes, BEFORE I started modifying it to get more power. Guess what? I don't regret it one bit! It has made me a better driver now, I feel more confident and more in control of the power I now have. We all have to crawl before we can walk.

The fact for you though is that you're on your P's, and therefore the law is going to look at you differently, even if you are a sensible mature driver. It's a sad but true fact.

Now to answer your original question, the smart way to make 225kw out of an RB25DE is to turbocharge it. If all you're after is a big power figure out of an N/A car whilst falling within your restrictions, then sorry to say this, but a N/A Skyline isn't going to be the car of choice. Like madbung said, more cubes or forced induction, and there are plenty of other 6 cylinder cars with more than 2.5litres.

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
