I have nothing against rotary engines, in fact I love them and the sound they make, but I have to agree with the whole 3.9L displacement argument as each rotor has 3 combustible sides to it for every one rotor revolution (not crank or eccentric shaft revolution).

Yeah that's true but only one side of the rotor get's used per revolution of the output (Eccentric) shaft so there for only 1.3 litres (0.66 x 2 for a 13B) gets used per revolution. You need to forget about the revolution of the rotor becasue everything is measured (RPM and Power) on the output shaft on every engine. You never see a piston speed gauge on your dashboard do you. It's like saying that the rotation of the cam shaft is vital to the running of a 4 stroke engine so really the redline of our nissan engines is really around the 3750 rpm mark.

what is this? i know its a drive shaft.. or is it drive shaft AND tail shaft....

it come out of teh vl with 20, so is it specific to vl rb20 or will it suit 25, 30, R31's etc?

sellin it on ebay thats all :laugh:

the output shafts for RB30e and the RB20 gearboxes are the same so it's a VL tailshaft and will suit anything with either of those GB's. I haven't mentioned the 30et's because i'm not sure if the output shafts are the same, as i'm lead to believe that they had a stronger box so they may have a different output shaft.

go for it, what have you got to lose. It's much the same as just pulling the engine out and putting it back in with the nissan stuff as it's all pretty modular.

My conversion for instance;

RB25 > S13

-Use a Cheffy X member that bolts straight up to the S-Series chassis rails.

-Then use RB20 Engine mounts brackets, that bolt straight up to the 25

-Use some off the shelf rubber mounts (i have some ideas here but we'll see if they will work and or be an improvement on the RB20 mounts.

-The only bit that has to be custom made is the gearbox X-member, which is no problem for me and infact i'll be making up some CNC brackets that Matt can then sell.

-Almost forgot the custom tail shaft which will cost $250 for an engineering fabriction place that makes tails shafts.

There you go the mechanical part is done.

Stolen from ns.com but lol's all around... Fast and the Furious-styles.

ive seen worse ones, that are obviously made up,

one of a skyline i think that was "going too fast for me to get the number plates" or "car was drifting behind me so i pulled over because i was scared"

    • 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
