At the start of the week I got a text from Piggaz... then decided almost straight away to rip up the handbrake on the build.

With Piggaz heavily involved now we have decided to take things to a whole new level. We are going big, the head is nuts so we need a hotside equally as nuts.  Micko is onboard, & Scotty from Insight is along for the ride consulting on all our ideas.

Anyway, had a big saday barbie with Micko/Piggaz, got tanked, and finalised all the details. Sent a few emails overseas then not long after passed out on the lawn :6_smile:

As of last night I've got more fuel system bits on the way, will be running the godfather of FPR's....& the don of fuel filters.

So now you're thinking, so all we decided over the BBQ was a couple of fuel parts? Wrong.

Tial MVS wastegates. BOOM. Manifold will be made in QLD by Kyle & we are speccing it up with EGT weld-ins for good measure. I'll leave this as the last clue as to what will be happening on the hotside, I'm sure some of you can guess which turbo I'll be running.... ;  )

Haha, I should've put money on you changing the turbo setup.

Good to see you making use of the head.

Will be a nice combo, even if it still sounds like dicks ;)

There was no way that GT Series, restricted head gasket popping ass end thing was staying on there. No need to be running snails designed in the 90鈥檚 when we are almost in 2018.

 

 

This will now be the first SR20 powered machine running the EFR7670 T4 1.05A/R.

Got on the phone to GCG, negotiated a price, and pulled the trigger. Will be ceramic coated and ready early January.

I've already had noob keyboard warriors claim the rear housing is too big, but that's just complete nonsense. The rear housing will take everything the head can throw at it, & the engine will BREATHE like its supposed to.

We expect that the car will be completely frightening to drive with a high level of response, especially when compared to 'one size smaller' Garretts/Precisions.

Yep, this is now a complete "HOLD THE F**K ON" build!!!!

Hopefully the SR handles the Alcohol better than the owner ?

1 rare breed and the grass was looking comfortable ?

HAHA!!!

Pls m8, was drinking you blokes under the table till the rare breed kicked in :4_joy:

Come on dude ya shooting low looking to pick on old dirty -5 GTR's. Stock turbo Evo on E85  is chopping that junk ?

All this time and money to target GTRs using old school turbo tech like that's some kind of decent goal lol

So, you're saying that a lighter car with a much better turbo setup and an expensive head will be faster than a heavier car with old school turbos and likely a stock head?

No f**king way!

What's the real goal here? Low 10s? High 9s? Laptime at a given track?

Please don't tell me all you're worried about is chopping basic bolt on GTRs lol

We have decided to stall this build as hard as possible and buy a GT-R instead...

You best be given updates you f**k :D

Progress on the S15 has been slow, been spending a lot of time at the drawing board and just finished importing an R33 GT-R from Tokyo. 

On the exhaust side we've got the custom race dump designed & fabricated this weekend - EFR7670 TS 1.05, 304SS 3.5" downpipe & Tial MV-S 38mm wastegates. The rest of the exhaust will continue throughout the week.

After planning the fuel system in more detail to future-proof the car, we fabricated a custom surge tank to suit the Pierburg 700Lph brushless fuel pump. The tank obviously has a lot more volume than anything you can buy off the shelf. The Pierburg is a serious bit of pump & will help save plenty of operating current compared to running dual Walbro 460's. Plus, I'll be able to run higher base pressures for better fuel atomization. For the main tank we made a custom CNC fuel hat & inside there will be an Elixir 700lph Ultraflow pump w/ controller.  Everything has been anodised black.

Once exhaust fab is done, we will start on the fuel system. After we position everything, I'll make a shopping list and start ordering the Earl's Ultrapro lines & fittings to start plumbing it all up.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
    • Well, the NA RB25 is nothing special in terms of the amount of power it makes stock, nor with any easy mods like extractors & exhaust, opening up the intake tract, etc, etc. And just like any small capacity NA engine, getting lots of power out of them takes a fair bit of money and, depending on how far you go with big cams and high compression and so on, quite grumpy to drive. So, boost is the answer. Many many many of them have had a turbo added. This is easy enough. Same as for any engine. Need the things you need to bolt on the turbo of choice, fuel system and management upgrades, clutch, stronger gearbox ( you do not want to run a boost RB25 through the NA box), diff, brakes, etc, etc, same as you would for most other NA+T things. Some much smaller number have had a supercharger added instead. These are good and cool, but have nowhere near the potential of the turbo route. All the same required upgrades apply. So, potential? Anywhere from not much to quite a lot, depending on how much effort and expense you want to go to. Is there value in the effort and expense? Objectively, no, there is not. If you're gaining enjoyment and don't mind blowing a lot of money on the project, then that's where the value is. Parts? Nissan dealers for some. Many many on-line vendors who do Japanese manufacturer spares (buy buying them from disposals at dealers around the world, direct from manufacturers, increasingly from Chinese knockoffs, etc) and warehousing them in Dubai or similar places. Amayama, Partsouk, etc etc. There are quite a few. Some local to Australia, some local to Europe, some local to the US. You can upgrade literally everything. For an NA, unless you're going to boost it, there's little point going past a nice exhaust, as I said above. After that (well, actually probably even before that) you should concentrate on making it handle the best it can, good brake components, light wheels and tyres, and just make it something to enjoy throwing through the curves. You'll never, ever win any drag races, so it needs to be taken as a nice point-to-point car. Throw in some Recaros or Brides, nice Momo wheel and gearknob, so it's pleasant to be in (because god knows, the inside of an R33 is not a pretty place!!) and away you go.
