Want More Power

[2.4skyline]

Hey guys got a stock as a rock r30 skyline (1984) with the 2.4e , kinda surprised at how well it goes for an old auto but kinda wanting to get some more out of it.

Wondering what i can do without spending a fortune. I also just recently got my hands on a complete rb30 skyline, could i just go and do an engine and gearbox swap?

cheers

You are in an NA skyline. This question has been asked 9999999999999 times.

Even if yours is an old R30, you still won't get decent power or torque (which is probably more important anyway) without spending an absolute fortune. Use your money on better things other then the engine. No if's or but's about it.

If you want power without spending ALOT of money, your only option is Nos.

oh come on! the old r30s go well enough with a bit of love. its not about the $$ its about the time you have to do the work... if you know how. lol.

if it already had manual trans then you can drop a heap of gear in it with not a great deal of conversion work so there!

i have the model before yours with same engine but with carburettor.

Best thing for more power imo, is converting engine to use to use a R31 RB30E Loom and ECU + Nistune Chip

Get a distributor with a CAS from a turbo L20ET or L28ET so it can see crank angle.

Then either tune so AFR's are all sweet or get a turbo manifold from a L20ET or L28ET bolt it on with a turbo and get RB30E ecu tuned to suit.

I may possibly go in this direction eventually.

put the timing up to 25 degrees. Will last about a week but will give you some power
