147rwkw RB25DE

"Amazing results with a nistuned Z32 computer modified to run the R33, this cheap alternative is conducted in house and retails for $1300 fitted and tuned, as the R33 computer is not a chippable board. the first run is standard setting with aftermarket exhaust 96.3 kw, then after a nistune chip and tune 121.5 kw! then a set of camshafts and a nice set ENVY Dyno vernier cam gears inlet and exhaust doing away with the variable valve timing showed amazing improvements @ 147 kw! thats almost the power of the turbo engine kids!!" copy paste from the vid URL

Good effort, that'd be a fun drive.. total cost including all parts, labour and dyno?

My guess is if you throw that kind of coin at a gts-t you'd still be 100kw behind

Not sure on the total cost, but i suspect somewhere around the $4000 mark. Yeah thats true but for an N/A its a good effort.

Edit: Around 4k as its cams, camgears, nistune+tune etc etc someone correct me im probably way off.

just creamed a little bit...n/a powaaaah :D decent number....anyone seen any other n/a skylines pull big numbers?

Quite a few RB25DE's in the 120rwkw-130rwkw range but i've never seen one crack 200rwhp until tonight.

actually you still haven't, LOL. he came about 3hp short.

and while it is a good effort for a NA, having thrown 4k of mods on has only gotten it to a point where a stock turbo would be.

also they don't have the car tied down very well (if at all) which would probably also increase the power reading. the reason i saw that is that the car moves around a little bit at about the 8 second mark in the video, and i have seen much more powerful cars than that move around less.

MUST you ruin the fun? :(

Hey mate how much duration and lift were the cams?

And what is the maximum lift for an rb25de?

Cheers

Hey mate, i'm really not sure but i wouldn't expect them to be much different to Poncams.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
