no, but this is the same car your thinking of. Was built there. Went in N/a manual, came out in mainy stages. ened up with 600hp of fun.

Sold the car to in dude in WA.

ahh i do remember a blue s13 when i was there a few years ago. had a 20 in a the time and was looking at a 25. couple of nice skylines as well with those guys.

you might remember my car. purple strawberry face 180sx. with the IVS stickers all over it.

will be doing the conversion in my garage as well. engine built off site though. dont think i have the tools to torque hone and balance all the components and tune the ecu.

yeah... all my engine work is done by a 3rd party :)

when i get the $$ i'll be doing the strawberry on my 13.... 1315's look nice i reckon !

yeah i will be changing over to strawberry face again after the nose was written off by my bad driving. did see a kit for the s13 with 240z nose.. that was cool

so what parts going in if you dont mind me asking?

i got some forged pistons, h beam rods, balancing and crack testing the crank and block. DE head, Garrett GT30R (or 35R not too sure yet) and 100hp shot of wet nos.

only a rb20 atm... my sr died a horrible death and i need to get it on the road... so fairly std atm :) need it for work... I did have a 26crank/rods and some 82 mm pistons to go into it... but sold em to get the $$

My Mobile: 1900 ska luv (edit) :)

 

But I'll prolly be as lost as you, but yeah I have erins mobile so wont get too lost hopefully :D

sweet thanks mate... if you get someone called ed... or sarah (gf) callin.. it's me lol

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
