Because they are better...

Maybe to some people but honestly not for me. I am happy with my RB26 and i would have never considered an LS1 when doing my engine swap.

If they were that good Reece McGregor would have ditched trhe RB26 and put a V8 into his GTR but something tells me the mid 7 he runs with his RB is more than adequate :D

I wonder how many seconds you'd get with infinite boost before you did the headgasket or put a hole in a piston.

Any one keen to try it out? : D

With a good tune i think you may be surprised. The exhaust wheel would probably give up before the engine i reckon

How do you tune for infinite boost? On a stock turbo maybe. But on a steel wheeled turbo, all overboosting is going to do is super-heat the intake air and cause detonation.

How does anyone tune a Pro Turbo car when they run 50psi+. Takes a fair bit of knowledge and some skill to do it right the first time, but its done on a daily basis now so its not impossible

There would obviously be limitations to the stock bolt ons, but lets assume they have been changed to cope i am sure the engine would last longer than most would expect.

OK, RB26 vs LS1 is a little different as the RB26 is paired with a pretty good 4WD system. If someone were to figure out how to pair ATTESA with an all alloy V8 only purists would stick with the RB26 :)

Infinite boost is infinite air, so you would simply need infinite fuel :laugh:

thats why i said get a nistune board and a tune, i'm fairly certain the standard injectors and fuel pump could supply enough fuel for 15psi...

my injectors were nearly at peak duty on 0.98bar so i believe im right about 15 on stock killing the engine. let alone stock turbo.

I say stop being a blouse and pick something faster to aim for. A stock LS1 is just a boat anchor and i dont know why anyone would want a Skyline being compared with one.

Why not choose a Veyron, or a Koenigsegg CCXR. Surely this sort of performance would be a lot more appealing :D

I had to laugh at this though..... clearly our laws arent doing enough and obviously do need some reform.... ie school kids should stick to a PS3 and GT5 and most certainly should not be let loose in even a stock Skyline, let alone a modified one.

"I have been on P plates for 3 years now but in less than a month I will graduate to my full license. I know the majority of people on here agree with keeping P platers out of high powered cars is a good idea and I cant say i disagree. But these laws definitley need an overhaul, it is clear that the people who came up with these laws don't know much about cars and as such, shouldn't have been put in charge."

Oh and this is absolute GOLD!!!!!

"The reality of weather you should be in a high powered vehicle or not comes down to your attitude, not your age."

Not that i would think you could be bothered to read through that garbage but it just got worse and worse lol.

Yeh when you set a boost controller to 50psi, that's different than just letting the wastegate free-boost.

Infinite boost is infinite air, so you would simply need infinite fuel :laugh:

And timing? :P Boost does not = air volume.

I dont think the 6.0L v8 is going to get beaten with only $1000 spent on the rb,

theres too much torque and outright nasty grunt , i really think you'd need a gt30 to hose one off convincingly

even if you have enough power , how good are you at launching the thing?? if you dont get a sweet launch then your toast!!

and if the v8 recieves some cams and extractors and tune, then just give up lol, or spent some big money..:whistling:

remember you'll lose your licence if you do 30k's over speed limit which is too easy ...pinch.gif

I was gonna say, what if your competitors' V8 had any amount of money sunk into it? It's a pretty steep uphill battle!

You're just comparing the engines. You forget they happened to put them into an outright oil-tanker of a car.

As previously mentioned, the R8 is not a bad area to set the bar at. The VX runs what, 13-flat? Easily achievable in a mildly modified Skyline.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
