Skyline Heart, S Chasis Shell,

Hey SAU Members,

 

Long time lurker first time poster. I've wanted an import for as long as I can remember and am finally in a point in life where I can build a car without cutting corners.

I have previously owned an R33 that made 320RWKW, but it was built on a budget and just wasn't a car that I was proud of. Sure it was fun, but you pop the bonnet and it just had Chinese copy stuff in there, wasn't neat, wasn't tidy.

I work in the industry now and we build big powered cars every day of the week.. just have to take a look in the workshop and there is a 800hp maloo and two 450awhp wrx's in the build process..

About my build

Goal... 400RWKW S13 with creature comforts like Aircon, Stereo, Decent suspension.. basically a sunday cruiser with a bit of go about it. Would like to be able to drive it to power cruise, have fun and drive it home.

Engine:

Started out life as an RB25DET. It currently sits in about a million pieces (pictures to come).

  • CP RB25DET Neo Pistons 86.5m
  • Haven't ordered rods yet.. open to suggestions, but most likely going to go with Oliver or CP rods. STD Stroke.
  • ARP Head Stud Kit
  • HKS Head Gasket
  • RB25 Neo head (I'm still trying to get a hold of one, if anyone has one for sale or knows of one please drop me a PM)
  • Link Fury ECU that I'm wiring in. It's so difficult to find a decent RB loom and I'm wanting to run LS coils anyway.
  • LS Ignition Setup mounted in a secret location ;)
  • Bosch 1650CC Injectors.
  • Twin Walbro 265LPH E85 Pumps
  • PLAZMAMAN Intake Plenum
  • 6 boobs manifold
  • Borg Warner EFR7163 Twin Scroll T4 Turbo
  • RB25det gearbox
  • r200 diff with 5 stud rear conversion
  • Custom NPC Clutch

 

For those of you interested I have a pretty decent audio setup that I had in a Volkswagen that I owned... I'm also planning on running a windows tablet and making a custom centre for it that will be base for all of my music and be hooked up to the link to act as gauges rather than having gauges mounted on the dash..

  • Hybrid Audio Legatia Carbon 6'' mids
  • Hybrid Auidio L1 Pro Tweeters
  • Mosconi AS200.4 Analog Amp
  • Mosconi AS200.2 Aanalog Amp
  • Mosconi 6to8 Digital Sound Processor

 

So this is my build thread, I'll try update it as I make progress. The attached picture is how my project is starting out life. Lots of hours and fun ahead.. dare say lots of box's of beers haha.

 

Thanks for reading

So today's project was a simple one. Get the tank out so I can have it rust treated and prepared for ethanol fuels. I also took all the hard fuel lines off the chassis rail in preperation to run new feed and return lines into the engine bay :)

I've also attached a picture of the pallet that has my engine and gearbox. Wasn't joking when I said it's in a million pieces lol. 

This s chassis has already had an Rb20 in it which makes my job easier when it comes to putting this back in the car

I'm currently adding ac back in my sil80 with a rb25 use an early model triton condenser and a 14inch spal on the front and 12 inch on the back. You will never have cooling issues even in summer on track. 

400kw will be fun mines a handful with 350kw

Hey mate, would you be able to chuck some pics up in another thread? Im doing an RB swap into my S15 and want to keep full aircon, any pics/info would be appreciated

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
