you can run GTRs in rwd....

and with a set of 2860-7s you can push 280 with no other mods.

buy a cheap one that you see all the time these days , fix it up and 'build it'

whack the 2860-7s or -5s in and your just about there power wise. :)

3 grand max for turbos + gaskets etc.

I'd go for a gtr and run it in rwd. Room for more rubber, stronger engine an the option to go awd again if you want to go around a track fast or you have too much power to put through 2 wheels. There is also the bonus of better interior bits and projector headlights.

There is still plenty you can do to it ie. suspension, build the engine, cage, fuel system, rims, turbos, cooler, exhaust, ecu etc. etc.

You could sink quite a bit of money into a gtst to bring it up to the same level as a stock gtr in rwd, why not start with the gtr and build on that.

I have an rb25 r32 and its definitely a wicked project. depends what you really want. The gtr is a good idea in some respects. But I'm having more fun building the gtst than when I owned a gtr. You could even consider a silvia with an rb?

Neo bottom end has GTR rods from factory which are better (stronger) in design. Not really that important imo unless your running serious power but doesnt hurt.

Neo top end (head) from what I (and many others on here) have seen/proven flows better and has a superior chamber design. Less prone to detonation, and overall will be able to move more air when compared to a R33 RB25 head. Obviously there are many variables to take into account. But when comparing apples with apples, the Neo head is a better option.

thats exactly where I was going Abuser :)

NEO + light chassis + big turbo + big rubber = Whur grrrr BOOSH!

might seem easy on paper but once you go down the road to building a car properly it's not as easy as you think. what you've mentioned might be good for straight line acceleration but you did mention you want a bit of track work out of it as well so you might want to look deeper into it instead of just lightness and power

oh, suspension and cage will be done at some point, theres not point having it if u cant put it to the ground, and no point going fast if u cant stop.

This will take ages, the first thing is getting the motor in then slowly slowly from there when funds and time permit

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!

      Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.

      Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
