I stand corrected on the the injectors wasnt thinking about 4 cylinder uses fuel diff then 6. yes the turbos are diff and if 900 hp is ball park limit of injectors what ia a hp figure for you? and you are right with the ecu, I run aem on my and girls evo and we both dont realy like it I want to see how you will do if you do motec and she wants to do hks f con. Its nice to see a person that knows stuff on forum. Please dont take any thing I said the wrong way it just lets everyone learn. Thanks Will

My goal HP is right around 900-950 ish, I am very interested to see what happens with whatever computer I go with.

I didn't take anything you said (or rather typed) in any other way than someone else asking questions, I would rather respond to a post like yours, than someone that asks me something like the technical difference between my tail lights and the stock ones or something crazy like that.

so is JUN going to feature you as a lemon car that would be cool. I wish you luck with the massive sponsers you get. Also how are you dealing with brakes on your car, carbon maybe. I have an ATS tripple carbon clutch in my car and when it heats up its great loves clutch kicking lol. So Im guessing you will heat them up enough going that fast so is that something you thought about? I have the wilwood 13in all around still on booster but since I dont plan on doing to much more street driving I was going to a direct pedal setup because still not happy. What is thoughts on brake systems?

For Now I have a Rotora 6 POT (355mm Rotors) Set up for the Front and 4 POt (330mm rotors) for the rear. I will use their Rotors and some good pads. A tilton Floor mount pedal set up (The wilwood over hung didn't fit right) and a balance bar and Bias know set up. I will use brake Pressure sensors int he front and rear lines to ensure I am getting the proper brake bias split and we should be good. If that little plan fails we will reapproach it from a different direction.

I wish I had sponsors sometimes, but I think this one will remain a personal affair and maybe when I build another one, I go for sponsors on that one.

Thanks Alot!!!

Hey do you really need that much HP? That Mines Skyline is like what 550whp and is sick... ?? I thought everyone was doing v-8tt swaps out there now? Sick build i like. I wish we could rent places like that out here thats why i love Japan sick!!!

[nissan240sxkid]

you can never have to much power

Im on track to catch my friends 950 whp evo so any one have a 42r they would trade for a 35r and some cash?

Good luck on your build doesnt look like you need it though. Great info, thats what forums should be about. I want to sleep with your motor LOL

[20 til 3]

amazing work.. most people just make crappy little 1/8 aluminum brackets using scrap metal laying around... but your doing things right... i assume you have your own cnc setup...or work for a place who does?... i know how spendy it can be when getting small things like that made... but yeah

you dont cut any corners... great job on the build.. cant wait to see the final product...


oh... and now, when i think of s15... i think of your car

I like them both, but for different reasons.

ITB's - Definitely good for track work (of course I am only referring to the RB26 right now), great throttle response and easily tuned for upper levels of power by getting bigger ones or running larger surge tanks. But the ones that I had on my GTR were stock with the Greddy surge tank, work out great for drag racing but not so good for throttle response. For the throttle response thing I would stick with stock (even though it has that little problem with leaning out the 6th cylinder) or the Nismo Surge Tank. The only thing that I really despise about the ITB's is making sure all of the adjustment rods are correct and not at different lengths, sometimes that can be a PITA.

Single Throttle - Good for top end shit on RB26's but not as responsive as the stock ITB set up, but definitely the way to go if you are going high revolutions and not exactly looking for response (liike high speed or drag racing where you will launch at high RPM), on a circuit I would be ITB's all day and a bit less than 950HP, I would be more in the 600 range.

All of this is just from my Opinion and experience so some may disagree with it.

I use an American Machine Shop over here (Sobe Power and Speed)and the guy is pretty good at visualizing what it is I want him to do for me. Really great work all around all the time. I basically come up with an idea, make a template, take it to him, double check, correct if needed, get final product. When I go back to the states I will probably pick up some of my own gear and spend time just making cool shit. Maybe a while down the road I might open up a shop if I can find an entire staff that has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

[xpl2007]

Well you have some skills. Hope you make military a retirement. But damb make some fat cash doing this for others.. And you dont have a shop. I only see Top Secrete, Mines, HKS, and hand full of others kinda building things like this. SICK!!! Open a shop after this and bet millions will come...

You're pretty naive if you think you can earn much money only with the modification of cars...

[B Love]

Dude Is say get the Haltech. and 950 hp is just fine Wangan FTMFW. except gas prices suck and you gotta pay toll fees over there huh. Dude Jeff no one has the money to build stuff like this. you know all these kids want the cheapest sr swap they can find haha.

I will consider the Haltech but at the end of the day, it comes down to the computer that can meet what is needed with the most reliability and cost efficiency possible. although motec and cost efficiency are no where near each other it is still an awesome computer that I should consider if the price is right when I go to buy.

I know what you mean about everyone wanting the cheapest stuff possible and I guess that is cool, I would rather just do it right and save the money to get what I need when I need it. If that means I slow down on the project for a while, so be it, it will be done as I envisioned it rather than have a bunch of compromises.

I figure, if I opened a shop I would have to be able to come up with low cost solutions to high end dreams. pretty damn hard to do but possible as long as people keep it real we will see where it goes later on as I get closer to making that decision.

The Biggest things that I would want my shop NOT to be:
- Fly by night shitty swap shop.
- Dirty ass shop that people ask about on the internet because their first impression sucks
- Full of know it all fuck sticks that do not know how to listen to someone and then come up with a solution. I hate it when people get stuck in their ways and come up with lame shit due to laziness. I say this because I will probably be my own customer as well (Kind of like the hair club for men).
- Half assed in any way shape or form. I would want to be able to build or restore any car that came so it would have to be pretty extensive to reach those goals. That is why I am kind of thinking about it right now and trying to determine which way to go with it.

i have a autronic sm2 for sale if u are interested

[status:one]

nice job on the rear bumper.

[B Love]

Yea I gotcha. my friend tried doing his shop like that but I mean not too many people have the money and he wasnt getting paid what he was worth you know. I think in Japan they will respect your craftsmanship and good work more so than the US.

[xpl2007]

Motec M800!! Haltech is so old school..... So i herd... Your build might as well have the best since your putting a lot of sweat and tears....

Yeah some do have the funds though. But no body builds for freeway runs out here like that... Many are all HIN cars..

I still think this is a dream build its to much getting a headache...

Whats wrong with SR?? lol jk..

[GreekRPS13]

unreal man its beautitful

[deolio]

this thread is such a tease. can't wait for the final product. excellent work!

[Gavster]

I love your brackets!! Pure machined hotness!

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Dude everything about this build is ridiculous.
I admire your attention to detail.
I can't wait to see the coolant lines running off those AN fittings.

[kazama]

CursedGTR,

Was it hard fitting the RB26 inside ? (mounting wise, clearance, etc)

And do you know whether it would be possible to wire back the stock s15 meter cluster to correctly read the speed/tacho as the signals from a 6cyl are different from a 4cyl ?

p/s. absolutely amazing work done to your car.


Cheers.

I used an RB member from a C34 Laurel and the mounts from the same car, it just kind of plopped right in there. Stock cluster and all that jazz is not too difficult to wire in from what C&Y Sports says, I just choose not to do so because I am tossing all of the old wiring as well.

For thepast two weeks, I have really done nothing but apply fiber, sand, mix more fiber, sand, sand and sand some more, but I have finally eliminated the exhaust arch in the rear bumper.
The plan calls for something like a dual pipe exhaust exiting the bumper through two separate holes with a carbon fiber bezel ring.
Or
Same thing but exiting from the center of the bumper.
The wastegate pipes will be set up to exit through a similar set up in the passenger side side skirt.
Anyways, here is a pic or two, for nay sayers up front, I really don't care for the input, I am doing this because it something most would likely NOT waste their time doing.

[89singlecamnoob]

turned out awesome, looks way clean.

[jspec240]

I know this is a couple of pages back but I really dont think you have anything to worry about when you say "nay sayers" I think if someone did say something about it we the "yay sayers".. lol would turn them from green to red in a couple of seconds. Also for such a nice build you should have a little more rep. so +1 for now and every time you post something.

Truly an amazing build!! Im jelous and bowing at the same time. I was at yokota a couple years and never even saw anything that came close to this build.

Oh and what everyone else says!! cant w8 for the next post

Great job on the bumper. I think the pros would bow

I'd really like to make comment but i don't really have anything to say... kinda speechless actually. Very sexy build, can't wait to see it finished and in a magazine.

[hunter8411]

Awesome work, keep it up. Can't wait to see the final product.
