I'm thinking about another Evo... might grab a 9 this time.

They are great cars man. They just need a good 230+ AWKW

Skylines have ruined 2 litre engines for me

It's fine after you get used to the 2 litre

But then you get back in a Skyline and man do you notice the 500cc you're missing

I'm constantly surprised by the low end torque the 4g63t has, even before it's come onto boost (which happens very early, compared to the highflow on the 2.5)...

But it's still not a car that really makes you moist and love driving, especially at what I estimate to now be about 160awkw...

SR's are great and all... but fark the GTiR and its shims. whats the difference between a noisy GTiR head and a quiet one? apparently 2 thou (0.07mm) of shim.

i found that out this afternoon. $71 and 6 shims later. prick even charged $2 packaging and handling... i f**king picked it up.

Don't underestimate 2L.

The later focus and Mazda MPS 2L (or 2.5's for that matter) are basically built for down low.... It's just up top they waver (from factory)

Rather have the extra .5 giving torque everywhere

Maybe it's my turbo and engine combination but I love my RB25, it does so well everywhere

Lol, 334HP 230KG aussie built superbike and it's in production

that's insane

    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
