My Little Silvia (S15 with RB26)

[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.

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...
