Built 2.6 vs 2.8 Same duration cams Same fuel Same dyno and tuner Same turbo's Same ECU Not sure what you'd prefer.... I'll give you a guess which engine is which.. Carry on...

The beauty of a responsive big power stroker is you can still pretend it's heaps laggy with the throttle, if that's your thing. Can't pretend a lag monster is responsive...

There is definitely something wrong with you. I liked your post, but there is definitely something broken!

So what you're saying is that if you put 2 of these 1.5L 3 cyl engines in a line, you'd have an rb30, which is the superior option all round.

haha, I do not live in the City, 2 minutes down the road it is 80 another 2 minutes it is 100 and 50 klm of country road that has all of the features that make driving fun and I do it up to 7 days a week :yes:

I leave the City driving to you poor bastards :angry:

Oh and at the end of my road there is one of the best hill climb roads in NSW , Wooton Way. Mmmmm it is like driving heaven :wub:

Imagine how good the r35 could have been if nissan stuc with little engines!

Point is, just because someone has a preference to a responsive set up, stroker, 30 whatever doesn't mean its any better for daily duties than another less responsive one. Its just a preference. So all this bullshit about revving the f**k out of 26 to keep up with traffic and crap is just bullshit. IMO based on driving mine daily for the last 4 years is having it off boost in traffic is a blessing and my setup is much nicer to drive that my clubby was and the few ford turbos I have driven.

IN MY HONEST OPINION RESPONSIVE SETUPS SUCK MASSIVE ROD!

Why? because I don't like them, but not to say they are not good for someone that prefers them, but they are no more streetable than a less responsive one.

If I had close to stock response and 350-450wkw I would beat some tiidas and prius's and then I would push it off a cliff and start again.

Moral of the story find out what you like and build it.

You are OK with your car's setup because you drive around in a traffic jam, 1st and 2nd gear driving is fun , as long as you do not have a soft clutch, no problem.

As you said, the good thing about this is, you do not have to change your undies every time you go for a drive as it does not scare you :woot:

BUT, only 6000rpm or 7000rpm away from a MONSTER ready to eat the road , good luck with that as a DD in Melbourne City :action-smiley-069:

haha, don't shoot your Biographer, it was your story as told by you, I just put pen to paper so to speak and there's nothing wrong with a bit of stupid , the trick is , knowing that your stupid makes one a lot smarter and at times I can be pretty stupid, I feel smarter already :special: .

So, I am here to help you get through your fear on low rev speed. Starters, I will give you a few KW down low to start with, put a big spring behind your accelorator so you cannot push it too quickly and away you go :yes::3some: :3some: :3some::yes: :yes:

My setup is worlds away from your old setup Pete, just remember that.

I will post up a video of my daily duties one day so you can understand it better, probably the easiest way.

Just quietly at least XGTRX knows what he wanted in his car, and didn't start a 100+ page topic that could have been resolved very quickly.

But that's none of my business.....

I am sure it would have to be MUCH better than mine, it was hideous to drive and try it with Quad clutch in peak traffic for 1 1/2 hours and you will understand why I hated the heap of shit :bomb_ie:

I am putting up my old Dyno off the 2.6 so some of these blokes know what I call laggy, so they will know what I mean and why I tried so hard to get the car I wanted to drive.

Now, I showed you mine, show me yours!

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      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.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      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:
