Hi mate,

Evo 8 block is a better base to work on than Evo 7 if we are chasing big power.

It's because the 8 has upgraded rods than 6.5 and 7.

Just let me know if you're keen to buy the car, few guys are trying to gather up some cash to get the car.

But no one has full cash ready to go as yet.

Cheers

Of course, the WHOLE bottom block is replaced with EVO8 block, which has done about 60k kms.

I use all brand new parts (headgasket, head studs, etc) so it's a much better build than factory. Nice and fresh ready for big power.

The top end has also been modified, 272 BC cams, camgears, etc.

The car itself has done 78k in total.

When I build cars, I build it seriously, no point saving out a little money if it will cause trouble in the future.

Regards

Gerald.

Well said mate.. If only you wanted an sti.. I would swap instantly haha.. GL with the sale mate..

Hey there,

Just curious but what sort of power is this thing putting out? I've been in mildly modified Evo's before and they were fast enough. I can't imagine what sort of acceleration this thing has.

Either way, nice car. I'll send a link to a mate of mine who loves Evo's and has too much cash from working the mines.

Thanks mate.

It's putting 240awkw on 98 pump fuel, which is a lot for an evo.

Response is great, more than what I need.

Thanks again for passing the link.

I hope it goes to a good home, so many offers but people just have no cash to buy it.

Nice Car...... It is exactly what i need for whizzing around the hills..... How many kw at the wheels?? and what boost is the current tune on?

    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
    • Yeah, I did some research and found out that some things are different.
    • Makes sense, thanks! Consider me very impressed. And I very much appreciate the effort in documentating all of it. You'd be surprised, or maybe not, how many people this reaches who search for things online. Anyways, I shall continue to read all of it, understand maybe a quarter, and hope that some of it sticks if I ever end up in a situation where it's relevant
    • 'Did' work on them is more accurate ~ on the R31 Skyline forum, you can spot me as 'Solder'... I've written quite a bit about the 4R01 boxes there, and I ended up reverse-engineering the older TCU type operations, so we could fudge a custom TCU to pull off other tricks...and like all things, when you do it a lot, see the failure patterns, have to find parts etc etc, your head ends up filled with whys and wherefores... there was a reason Nissan went with these in more than 60models over 16+ years... all in all, the JR401E based design is an interesting study, as Nissan changed things over the years in a never ending battle against them lunching on themselves <grin>...by the time the RE4R01A rev.C came out (often referred to as RE4R01B), they'd more or less perfected the design...
