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

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
