Yep I remember that, a mate of mine did similar - well more the doing mid 10s and 400kw on a stock motor (with just pump gas, no nitrous oxide, I must add) thing that the crowing and being banned thing :)

This car has flawless victory, however:

that thing is beautiful to watch, so smooth and unbelievably fast...its obviouslly well set up and a powerglide does help i guess but all I can say is....I WANT ONe!!!

 

I assume the only weak point for now is the HG and if that goes I'll replace it on mine, if for some reason it's more terminal than that then I'll likely throw another stocker in its place...

The NEO is a tough bit of gear and I hope it holds up :yes:

 

Agree. If I were running a NEO at your level I would swap it out for a stocker once it failed. If I had more than 2 let go I would consider building from there. In the end you could go through 4 or 5 stockers before you reach the cost of building one properly.

Building a motor and only going for 300-400 seems like kind of a waste though :wacko:

The problem with it is, the motor is still susceptible to any one of so many failure points just like a stocker. Just takes one bit of carelessness or bad luck and then you have a very bad time. Seems like going "all in" in poker.

Hence I give props to anyone with the balls and inclination to push a built motor.

Exactly!

And it seems the Nissan seal of approval seems to hold together longer than a lot of "Builds" you see these days........

Agree with you both guys. I built my SR as the cost to me doing all the work myself was about the cost of two stockers anyway, so it was well justified. Plus I'm hoping to see more than what a stock SR will reliably do in the long run anyway.

Good tuning and good fuel makes a big difference. When that thread was started E85 wasn't really available (and still isn't practical for lots of us today).

Ethanol Content Sensor plus a decent ECU. There really is no argument of "it ain't close to me so I can't run E85" anymore.

In my case with two cars already set up and working pretty well the cost of buying a new ECU, bigger injectors, ethanol sensor and tuning does still make it impractical especially if the nearest E85 is 20-30mins away.

On a clean install I wouldn't muck around and just go for it.

What turbo would you guys recommend for a rb25 running e85.

Track car only!
1000cc injectors

power fc

z32

cam gears

profec 2 boost controller

3.5 inch exhaust

Front mount

Goal is for 8th mile drags!!

So need response and huge mid range performance

dont have a power goal just as fast as i can get down the 8th mile!

Any ideas ?

Been awhile since i posted on sau .The neo out me drift car let go a couple of months ago running 320 rwkw BUT beleive this had nothing to do with the power im under the impression it pumped all the oil into the head and then left the bottom end dry spinning the bearing and chucking a rod.

So got another standard neo to go back in its place this time it will be reciving some oil restrictors a head drain and a 7.5l gated sump to hopefully over come the oiling issuse .

Also thinking of changing over to e85 see what itll make hopefully add some more reliability to it aswell.

Ouch :O

This happend on the skid pan after about 3 mins of 5000 -limeter of third.So it was under some hard conditions.see how the new engine holds up and see what it can make with some fruit juice

Well that explains a bit ;) Nice one haha

i'd say your diagnosis is spot on then! lol

RB's without custom drains and restrictors don't like 3+ minutes of limiter much at all hahaha

Just broke into the 300kw bracket....

R33 Series 2

mods:ViPec ECU

Haltech Flex Sensor

GT3076r .82 Low mount, Internally gated

APR head Studs

Metal Head Gasket

3" turbo back exhaust

Walbro 400L pump

Tomei Cams

740 Nismo Injectors

fuel:E85
power: 450hp [335kw] on 24psi
oil: Motul 20W-50
useage: Used to be daily, making its way to cruiser status
lifespan: had it for 4yrs, bought stock as a rock.
failure: Had head problems in the past when running 350hp on pump98
comments: Gains for E85 was 105hp over my Pump power of 346hp on 20psi.

Next mods will probably be new clutch, injectors & External Fuel setup

Why the upgrade of the injectors and fuel setup? Is it on the limit?

Why the upgrade of the injectors and fuel setup? Is it on the limit?

Injectors are reaching their limit for E85, I upgraded my fuel pump tihs week from a walbro 255 to 400 to handle the E85. More of a bandaid till i have the $$ for a full external setup.

255 fuel pump was maxing out with the car makeing 405hp and a mix of 70% pump98 and 30% E85. to get the full benefits of e85 it needed changing

With the Haltech sensor i can now run any blend of pump to E85 i like and the tune will change accordingly.

Very surprised by overall gains

    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting
