Hi all, I am a new ceffy owner :P Got a few questions for you guys

1) Why does my ceffy have two throttles in the engine bay? My mate said it may have had cruise control but i couldn't find anything on the dash.

2) Is the ceffy actually wider than the sil? What offset is required for wheels to be flush with the guards?

3) Where can I get a kit?

and... 4) SR or RB20 for the conversion :( (I lost my lisence for 6 months so I got about 5k and 5 more months to make it into something decent ;))

Thanks for your help,

Chris

Im not looking for huge power as I have already lost my lisence once and the temptation would be even greater with a 25, just looking around 150-170rwkw which is quite possible with a near stock rb20, maybe with a tb25 turbo or something. That 5k wasn't justr for the engine btw :(

LoL, you will piss that in no worries.

Just go an rb20 then. Say aftermarket management. Go the rb25 turbo so it makes that power easier. FMIC, gearbox if yours is still auto etc.

Theres ya 5k...

Then spend whatever else you had on decent suspension. Springs that work (ie not too hard) all your sway bars, castor, camber, bushes, then get stuck in to the brakes etc. Have the whole package.

Yeah if you want response go the sr20 with the s15 BB turbo. too_much was pulling 190rwkw with his sil80 I believe.

You'll need a FMIC, fuel pump, injectors, tune ... plus engine plus gearbox.. hmm I think done right you could pull it under $5k.

I'd go the SR ... I would never ever put a rb20 into a cefiro.. if it alreayd had one in there then no worries.. but why would you put one in ? :D

That's 197.7rwkw thankyou very much!.. on 12psi with factory ecu, injectors and afm!

will be interesting to see what it does on 16-17psi

3) For a kit there are a few guys on NS.com (sponser section) selling kits.

4) i'd go a RB25, or SR20, just depends on what you want. SR for dorifto.

I was under the impression rb was:

+more powerful stock

+designed for the car

++cheaper

-older

-less torquey

sr's:

+newer

+torque

+lighter

+more aftermarket parts

-more expensive

-less base power

Won't be using the car for pure drift, maybe an event evey now and again. So many people seem to be against the rb :)

hey when you go from rb to sr did you have to change any of the mounts? did you buy them or fabricate? how is it done? also how much of a pain would it be to get your warning lights and speedo etc working? perhaps too much could enlighten us?? :)

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
