Gav's car with similar spec to yours pumped out around 560 at the very least. Then he added e85 conversion.. so a theoretical guess would be around the 600+ mark.

I think you should get a 14mm rail conversion and some 14mm injectors for less price than the hks ones, plus you can then go e85 later for that extra ~10% in power increase just from a retune.. Cheapest investment/performance ratio for sure..

I am not looking to smashing numbers with this engine.

I want it to last for 5-6 years, without having to worry about it.

500 -525 at the wheels will be more than enough.

Plus I bought Gav's old injectors hahhaha

hasn't he done some really hard km's on his motor since it was built, 3+ years ago? If its tuned well, surely it'd last if the engine is built properly.

E85 should increase torque over the entire range, sounds fun indeed for track.

May as well go hard and enjoy it haha

I'm also in the middle of doing a 2.8L also although I used Pauter rods same as Gav and my crank came from the UK.

So who are you using for your engine builder and machinist?

R

Ant at X-Speed is building the motor.

Machinist is via LF, Ant's recommendation

Who's LF?

Ants going to build it, that will deff be a machine. With Ant doing it must around 30K+ easy.

Hope to see more pics. Are you doing any modifications to the STD gearbox, brakes, clutch etc?

What compression are you going for?

Turbo configuration? Have you decided on a cam duration and lift yet?

Hey Mike,

Yes the 2.8L bug finally got you too. Good choice in acquiring the HKS Step 2 kit, combined with -5s should make for some real fun!

Hmm... E85? I wonder what Racepace can do with E85 tune in my car.... Instant 105 increase in power across the whole rev range with proper tune and same hardware, sound too good to be true.... need to do more research.

Cheers

Matt

Probably LF Performance.

No matter who builds the engine it's going to cost and Ant is the man in Perth when it comes to these engines. Do it once and do it properly!!

Rob have you still not built your thing yet?? I remember talking to you back in 2007 and though you were pretty close then.

He is using -5's.

Hey John,

Few things in between have got in the way of my build. Also My car is getting a bare metal respray as well, so its taken a while to get all the rubbers together etc etc etc

Even getting R34 GTR dump pipes have proven to be near on impossible. So at the moment trying to coordinate rebuild on motor and shell respray.

Anyways I will subscribe to this build to see how it progress's.

Pity you weren't paying attention to the for sales forum a few weeks back, I had a spare set.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
