Oh my eyes.......I cannot see.

No really, this sounds like a good project. I see you are keen for one Vus. Got a taste for handling then?? Be an interesting proposition in a 32 GTR as they get cheap enough to butcher.

Yeah Geoff. I like the concept of a V8 sounding skyline. That thing is going to be an animal. Who knows what this guy would do next. Throw a twin turbo or supercharger on it as they are pretty common for ls1's now.

*shakes head*

How much is an LS1 + the rest youd have to spend?

Should have bought an RB26.

Now that'll be too easy wouldn't it? This guys gonna have a hell of time learning and playing around with the car. At the end of the day he'll have something different. Might not be as good as the GTR but it'll sure be unique and he'll have the satisfaction of knowing that he built it himself. I reckon it's a great effort.

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
