the 4.8 is one large mofo engine. at least 100/150 mil taller than an rb. A fair bit longer and massively heavier.

If you have the car to handle the physical dimensions you can build a torque monster capable of moving the earth on it's axis.

Brian crower makes a stroker kit specifically for this engine simply because there is a fairly large demand in the oil rich sand dunes, more money than sense I guess.

It drinks like a fish in standard guise. I crapped myself after the first couple of tank fulls of fuel, Over 20 litres per 100 kilometres. A set of headers, decent exhaust and an after market ecu with a good dyno tune improved it out of sight. As low as 16/100 driven sensibly and nothing phases it. Tow or carry whatever you will it just laughs at it.

AT 2 and 1/2 tonne it still manges a 16 second 1/4 mile too. :P

  • Nope 1
More importantly, where are the vids of your car?? :P

I took the video camera for the dyno tune but forgot all about it till we had finished and unstrapped the car. LOL

Need better quality tyres for the next tune and we only reached 24psi and turned the tyres to smoke (brand new 245 17s) Would have been nice to see 500rwkw but will have to settle with 475 for now without the nos.

+1, suprised more people havnt explored them...

ive seen a 1000hp AWD drag supra with a TB42 and 4wd running gear...

I seen it in the Supra forums. I think it was all done up in Russia.

I guess it goes to show that with enough $$$ anything is possible :blush:

Some Patrols here in Aus. are running RB26/30 combos - apparently it all bolts straight up.

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
