Random thought's...what's your opinion?¿?¿

[DJ984]

Hey guys,

I’ve been thinkin about the Cefiro's (can't wait till i actually get one :headspin:)

and have been thinking about keeping the sucker kool under pressure (drift )

would need(/want) a front mount right¿... so, was thinking it would make life easier to have a front facing plenum on the motor so that the piping didn't get heated up again traveling back over the engine/fen etc (also would mean shorter piping - win/win situation! )... So basically my question is, can you bolt a GTR plenum onto a RB20/RB25 no worries or how hard a job is it? OR... would it be better to go with an after-market plenum for these advantages and what kind of costs would i be looking at in all of the above cases?... (keeping in mind i'm not made of money! lol!

I would be doing simple bolt on mods to the car so won't really want to spend a fortune on and aftermarket computer and a days dyno tuning... (a chip may be in line down the road a bit but we'll leave that for now)... just wanted you to keep that in mind with your response.

Look forward to your input.

Cheers,

Dave.

hye man..

Ok my thoughts. if u using the ceffy for drifting.

Since in drifting u only go around the same corners for like 3-4 times and no more as most of the time u will be sitting on the rev limiter. I would say get a FMIC and a oil cooler. Any more power would also benefit from the FMIC would be good not dtrimental to your sport.

Most guys at the last d 1 drift day whom owned ceffy's had rb20's and pretty much only oil cooler and standard fmic. Everything elses was standard.

The standard power on the rb20 should be enough for u to obtain the correct speed to enter drift and should enable u to commit long enough on the drift.

I havent had any probs on my standard rb20 (oops ive got a t3 turbo). And have been able to do power overs with ease.

Just spend the money on the clutch and tyres u will be going through.

I run my old s13 stockies on these so much easier to lose traction and dorifto. :wassup:

ATM only got like 170rwkw on 13psi.. and ive found that enough to do drift.

yes u can bolt an RB26 plenum up to an RB20/25

however for the cost of the whole thing it would be a waste of time.

-exhaust

-FMIC (GTR will do and much cheaper)

-Oil Cooler

-suspension

-clutch

-bleed valve

-POD

-ECU remapping

thats pretty much the basics.

[DJ984]

Ok then that's kool.... Thanks guys and thanks inark, the money vs. benefits was what i was kinda wondering...

Rather than a bleed valve what would you say about an ebc? (or save the extra $'s for something else and just use a bleed valve?)

[inark]

it all depends mate on ur situation...

ebc is always going to be better for tuning and more reliable... if u can afford to spend the extra cash on it go for it... even one of the older model ebcs are good... not as dear as AVCRs and the like.

[DJ984]

what's the std. turbo on the cefiro's by the way?... i thought the rb20's had a t3 std¿ :confused:

[inark]

nope they have a T25 with a T3 flange.

[DJ984]

does that mean a CT26 would bolt straight up?... what's your opinion on this (from what i understand it's a t3/t4 hybrid, some with dual wastegates - but i think i've already proven the extent of my turbo knowledge with my last comment lol!)

[inark]

mate i honestly know sfa about cars... let alone turbos...all i know is if i strap a T88 on my GTR along with all the other supporting bits it = smokey fun

[DJ984]

LOL!!! NOW WE'RE TALKIN!!! :burnout:

i'd like just to have an RB26 Cefiro but a lil too expensive i think

what's it cost to do a conversion if i supply the engine and box and computer etc?...

[inark]

probably 3-5k on top of the half cut costs...

[dangerous_daveo]

mate i honestly know sfa about cars... let alone turbos...all i know is if i strap a T88 on my GTR along with all the other supporting bits it = smokey fun

LoL if the barstard spools

[inark]

chuck a supercharger on it as well

[DJ984]

probably 3-5k on top of the half cut costs...

If i supplied a wreck, would the 3-5K cover all the conversion¿ (ie brakes etc as well?) also, would there be any problems with driveshafts (4wd-2wd) or just a straight swap or whatever?..

cheers.

[inark]

not sure mate...

3-5 would probably cover the engine swap... as for a brake conversion... you would need to source them too.. probably about 600-1000 id say depending on how much u get them for... gearbox once again not sure if the std one would be able to handle it... mine has an RB25DET gearbox i think... how the connect em up is far beyond me.

probably best to speak to a well known performance garage in Sydney that works with a lot of skylines.

best to do a search in the performance section and the NSW section and see what u come up with

[DJ984]

hmmm, leaving the RB20 in just seems a ton simpler doesn't it? lol!

might leave the RB26 decision till i see how i go in the RB20 first i think

[inark]

probably the best idea.

[boj01]

Also an RB26DETT motor with RB25DET g/bpx. loom, ecu, afm's (essentially an engine package) will set you back $8000. I feel the only cost effective way to have an RB26 powered S13/A31/R32 is to buy it from Japan rather than converting it over here!

[DJ984]

yeah boj01, I agree with that... i also had the option of getting a wrecked GTR and swapping everything into the Cefiro then selling what was left to try and re-coup some dosh but was unsure how the gearbox/driveshaft part would go¿:confused: any input?....

[-=Trizae=-]

ever considered an rb23/24?
