Yeah I pity the guys whose speakers are more powerfull than the engine

[3sgte]

And I envy those that have cars.

I am carless for the first time in ~12 years.
I am hoping for an Altezza or a Caldina wagon though...
(must be patient...)

[hellbent]

Well said Elchfaenger, I do laugh at the fools whose system is louder and more powerfull than the engine. Every Fu38ing time they trie to make fun of my car, I just let the exhaust rip, no sound system can mute my exhause system. Funny to look at their faces when 400HP burn my tires.

[CooBlueDAB]

I have more watts than HP, its easy lol... a whole 130hp at the crank w00t.. but at 225-250 a gallon... Economy and safe with nice sound for those long trips is the way to go.

[DARCnarc]

hey so just a classification here, is music in initial d euorbeat or super-eurobeat, all the dodgy names on kazaa are getin to me

[JC]

Super Euro Beat from what my mp3s here say (God I wish they were mp4s :/)

Hellbent: At the moment my car is almost completely stock, making about 110rwhp with an RB30E... I need another $3,000.00 or so and I'll have about 230rwhp *And no, it's not a bloody turbo!*

Just the downside of the mods is that I have to run premium unleaded else the engine will ping and run like crap... BP Ultimate + Octate booster = 100 octate (Our working out method), which is the same octate content as AVGAS (Airplane fuel > )

[CooBlueDAB]

you have to use 100 octane fuel? holy @$%#  what kind of compression will you be running? only people I know using that high of detonation resistance are draggers and rich people lol...

[chichin0]

Some "import" engines (such as the RB30) handle higher octanes and ask for more.  Especially since he says its not turbo charged, the compression cant be that high.  I believe Japan has a higher octane of gas, there was discussion about this a few pages back but i couldnt glean a diffinitive answer out of what they were saying.

[JC]

Compression ratio will be 10.5:1... Who said I need a turbo for high compression ratioes?

This is a tempoary power boost untill I can afford the supercharger, which with the right pistons and everything else will bring me to about 500rwhp... Possibly more

If anyone's curious to know, I'm creating an RB30DE, getting a second RB30E (For about AU$400.00 from a wreckers), and an RB25DE from an R32 GTS 2.5 (The R33 GTS model has Variable Cam Timing, and requires more block modification, while the R32 one lines up perfectly, a simple bolt on mod).

If I left it at that, it would be an 8.3:1 compression ratio, perfect for turbo/super charging, but being as an N/A car, it'll run like crap... Thus I'm putting the RB25DE pistons in, and running a 10.5:1 compression ratio, with my 2990CCs capacity still, and the advantage of DOHC >

I have also considered just getting the RB25DE pistons, and an RB26DETT head, as all that is different from that is the stud holes, needing to be bored out a little more, but that's basically it.

Other things I'll need to do is source the oil pump from the RB25DE and get a new timing belt, as neither belt will be long enough (RB25DE belt will be about 11 teeth short from memory)

So all in all, I'm at about a grand at the moment on this, then there's the manual conversion with a GMH VL Commodore (Never released in the US) turbo manual gearbox (Made by Nissan!), and the ECU out of the R32 GTR... 2 1/2 inch exhaust stuff... Not much change from AU$3,000.00!

If anyone's interested in what I'm doing, when I get started I might put stuff up on the web about it

[CooBlueDAB]

oh you dont need 100 for that... maybe 91 if that...   but not 100 by any means.


As for Japan having higher octane, they dont really.... they Do have a different measuring system, and do have available at the pump one level higher octane fuel than we do in actuality, but it is not that different.

[gob]

Stop exaggerating. :p

I get maybe 90HP out of my engine. It uses 97 Leaded which we still get at the pump.
And you have to play with the revs to get even that out. Actually it is a miracle when it starts.

Hahaha.. poor me.

At least it is RWD so it can drift (lose control in my case) when its wet.

[JC]

Well RB25DE engines require Premium unleaded fuel, which here is a RON of 98... Octate booster adds an extra 2 RON points... So there you go

90hp? 68Kw... What kinda car? :/

[Brokenimage0]

97 leaded? hmmm i dont think im old enough for that.

[Elchfaenger]

I remember the car my dad bought in '82  already ran with unleaded. Guess leaded disapeared from the gas pumps in the late 80s, at least where i live

[JC]

Unleaded cars were coming out of Japan early 80's... Possibly earlier

For example, the Sprinter, '83 - '85 (Or so some sites say), unleaded... Models before it were unleaded as well... Just seems that cars made by us westerners were still running leaded fuel untill about '85 :/
