Post by **SCOOBYSHAG** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

you should do a RB26DETT in an S13 since that is what your name says

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

My previous goal was to aqure a R33 skyline......I was layed off from my job so im not ablle to do tat any more........im going silvia once again......im looking for some comments on what turbo i should get im looking for a set up for the SR20DET that can provide a good amout of horsepower....

Post by **SCOOBYSHAG** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

good amount of horsepower meaning?

S15 turbo-300 HPFP Big28- 350 HPHKS GT2540-380 HPT3-over 400 hp

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

Looking for 400 maybe more SCOOBYSHAG....any more ideas out there?

Post by **SCOOBYSHAG** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

if you are looking for more than 400 WHP then I would look into T3's, T4's etc..

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

Scoobyshag i think that i might get the RB25 skyline swap.....and go single turbo.....i have priced the swap at 5,000...i have gotten in contact with CTC and i wasnt to happy when i was told that i would be getting a SR20DET swap for $7,000.....when i can get the RB25....every one out there let me know whats up and what u think

Post by **SCOOBYSHAG** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

CTC is expensive but they do excellent work..your choice

Post by **AJ-SPEC** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

they are expensive, but that 7k is counting the front clip, removal and install, intercooler, piping and flanging, blow off, z32 fuel pump. most people don't do this all at the same time. it would be around 4500 without the extra goodies. I don't work for them, but I am planning a swap also and found out all the info already. all that's gonna cost more than I paid for my car! But if you find another place with as good a rep for less, let me know.

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

AJ-SPEC I have alot of homeboys thats go to CTC faithfully....they all have supras and they always have given me good word from CTC but i belive that 7.000 is just a bit pricy...if i paid that much for a swap i better be very very happy with the results....but AJ-SPEC im gonna check out Cartune TX i know the guys personally....and i will check it out and let you know if they are up to par....but what do you all think of me getting the RB25 swap.....cartune also has built JUN motors available....and oh yeah the owner of CArtune has an GS300/Aristo...with the Aristo 2JZ with a single T88....pretty damn nice

Post by **AJ-SPEC** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

I have heard of them, the guy from boost factor was supposed to work there or something, but I'm unsure about the quality of their work. yeah, 7k is a lot though. but I don't have the money to keep fixing a ****ty install. I'm not sure, thought about driving to Iowa and having Daunttless install it...

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

AJ-SPEC Iowa is a long way man i dont kn ow baout all of that.....but im gonna do some research with Cartune and see what quality they have ad if its up to par then i will let u know......you are right about that reapairing the messed up swap i def dont want to be doing that......but i will let you know cuz im no just ready to lay down 7k for some low horse power

Post by **Onizuka** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

wont you get like 260-280 the the ground with that install from CTC? Dont forget it covers stuff like wiring too right? If you dont think thats a good value you should see how much i have spent on my SR already...

Post by **AJ-SPEC** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

true, you should be around 250whp when they install it. that's because you will have 3" turbo back, and the front mount/intercooler piping helps. I've seen a few of their swaps, and they are clean. this does cover custom power steering and a/c lines. It's a grip of doe, but you get what you pay for. boostfactor was never known for quality...

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

Ill take that in mind AJ-SPEC... and J-SPEC TUNER......I will do some research actully go visit the shops and tell you what i think of both...ill keep posting...just keep looking out....but i think i am goign wiht the RB25 swap not at this point exactly sure......let me know what u guys think......turning my car into a highway beast....and a supras worst nightmare....lol

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

J-SPEC TUNER...what are u planing for your SR swap....if you are leaving the stock internals and not adding cam....etc.....u should step up to a s-14 blk top with the vvt (variable valve timing) usually over here the engine can be bout for a few more hundred dollars.

My s13 SR20 will make more HP than the s14 SR20 for about the same amount of money. The VVT gets in the way when you do a turbo upgrade and the highport heads on the S13 are better also. I alreay have a full exaust (including turbo manifold, downpipe, high flow cat, and cat-back exaust), a S15 T28 BB turbo, and i am waiting to buy a Intercooler, Greddy profect B boost controller, 550cc injectors and Apexi SAFC for when i get back from college. Im guessing this set up should get me anywhere from 250-295 at the wheels depending on how well i can tune it. Alot of my mods wont give me any horsepower (engine mounts, KOYO radiatior, electric fans, etc), but i like to keep a engine running safely

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

J-SPEC TUNER the reason i siad that was i was not aware of what u were planing with ur motor...if you are upgrading your turbo and internals as i said befoer than the s-14 motor would no matter......thats nice set up that you are going with...but my question is how much?

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

One more question what is your full plan....how much horsepower are you tryin to reach?

Post by **Onizuka** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

ehhh, i just saw some dyno graphs of of a s13 SR putting down over 500hp on stock internals (pistons, rods, and crank) so im not worried there as i dont plan on going past 300 rwhp (autocross = need for quick boost = small turbo). I have to bust out my calculator to figure out how much i have spent on my motor, ill post in a little bit.

Post by **Onizuka** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

ok it will end up costing me 7500-8000(depends on what intercooler i go with) installed by myself IF nothing goes wrong (the price is also kind of high because i treated myself to a motor from heavythrottle, for the guarentees and service)

Post by **Godzillarb26dett** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 4:09 pm

J-SPEC TUNE i see that you have treated your self a lil bit.....so you are puttin your car into autocross I have friend with a S14/15 thats in the autocross circute now.......god luck on your project...keep posting and let me know whats going on .....and iwill continue with mine also
