so ive been working on my rb build for about a year now and had a few motors in this 240sx. i first got it running back in Jan for bout 3 wks but the transmission broke so sourcing parts and research took awhile so i just bought one. then while the car was down i desided to put another turbo in it. i went from a 50 trim which i made 520 whp to a turbonetics T72 turbo which i have right set to 15psi (dont know the exact hp) i had 880 injectors and replaced with 1000's (im on e85) the other motor had a lil bit of a porting job when i got the motor, head gasket, greddy timing belt, head studs, r34 rb25 n/a short block. now that motor was ok on power(at the time i thought was really good) it was a lil bit sluggish in the off boost parts. well after i had put the new turbo and injectors on that motor i had took it out and not knowing one of my fuel pumps failed and BAM there goes cyc #6. so i got a new motor completely stock in put it in there with the same aftermarket parts with the same tune and this motor rocks hard. so far on my tune im getting that turbo to be at full spool on 15 psi at 4800 rpms an redline to 7k( will raise when i change the belt, its loose). idk the power but it fells ALOT better than the other setup by far i dont much pic of the car but ill show you the work over time and what happened to it after the last motor blew, it caught on fire. i will post new pic of my new setup prob tonight

this is at the car show in Jan old setup

^ lol :(

As for the power/turbo 385rwkw/520rwhp with boost (only 15psi) coming on 4800rpm - did i read that correctly?

If so, that's fairly average mate.

Also did i read that it's running on a stock motor as well?

What trans did you use? 25box?

I'm not sure any rebuilt SR box will take that for very long

I did come across the original build from some US car forums, and she's the actual mechanic who made this happening from scratch. Pretty amazing for a chick.

Bit sexist yeah?

I know chicks who rebuild 800hp twin supercharged diesels in tanks way better than what I could.

I loved watching the Dutch birds, nothing better than a blonde big boobied girl hanging out the top of a tank whilst she drives it around trying to look menacing, even war stops to watch..........

Looks good, should get it up on the dyno and post up a dyno sheet.

2nd girl in those pics is....yuck lol.

and i like the wheels, what sort are they?

sorry bout the delay, i was very sick. the wheels are called venaci they come out of the same factory as rays and are from japan

^ lol :D

well on 15psi is prob around 500whp but the motor is stock and the tranny is an rb25 aswell

nice looking S14, and I don' say that often :D

thanks im working on making it better looking.

i just turned up the boost to 18 psi and boy was that alot to handle. i love this car. it feels like it still has room to go but i like her to have alot of life in her.

I think I have an .96 ar housing or 1.09 ar housing on a t72. The Q is, what size should I go down to to make it spool up round 4000 rpm. It spools now at 4900. I was thinking somewhere around a .81 r .84 but didn't know know if that will be to small

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
