There's a few R31s running around with some sort of V8 in them

One Silhouette popped on the R31 forums a few months ago running a twin turbo 308, low 12's or high 11's out of the box I seem to remember, and a rather interesting engine bay shot

85% engineered! Yeah good one.... cant see any mention of any brake upgrade, and im pretty sure the stock aussie r31 brakes wouldnt be up to the task of matching the 5.7L V8!

He's probably selling it coz he got busted and cant get it engineered, or it was going to cost a fortune.

Surely you've all seen the R33 with an LS1 in it??

"Interesting to note that with the LS1 + T56 combo the Skyline now weighs 10 kg's less than it did with the RB25DETT and it's normal 5 speed gearbox.

And, the gearstick apparently lines up perfectly with where it normally should be.

Now, I've always complained that an LS1 in a Silvia chassis is too big and heavy (and I still stand by that) but in a R33 Skyline, it's perfect! The engine bay was made for a long engine anyway and the car is medium sized so this engine suits it perfectly. The only downside is a crappier gearshift quality (the Nissan box is generations ahead) but otherwise, it's a great swap."

      Ball bearing turbos

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
