    Looking good dude! I'm still dead set on sticking with my 13 but if a 32 4 door shell popped up I'd transfer all the running gear over in a heart beat...jealous much!

    pains me to say it but that car seemed to go pretty well with you at the helm. I still cant figure out how you hit one of the tyre bundles though.

    updates.

    firstly, went to a Skid Risk day to spectate and managed to blag myself a lap on the track.. so this happened..

    [​IMG]

    then i sold the Rota's to uncle Chunk and bought these..

    [​IMG]

    got tyres fitted and put them on the car, although no pics cus im busy..also lowered it a bit more

    fitted the shotgun now with a silencer in.. again no pics cus im busy


    Had a chat with Chunk about possible power outputs on an Rb20Det.. as there pretty much unknown in the UK as far as tuning goes.. he's suggested 444cc injectors, z32 MAF, T3 turbo and Nistune. so i went and bought some brand new 444's from japan out the RB26DETT, and a Garrett T3 from a cosworth.. just need a Z32, top mount manifold, 1.5bar wastegate, new elbow.. and nistune :)

    injectors:
    [​IMG]


    went to DWYB

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    had some good sessions with Dan Joyce, Stuart scoobystu Egdall from Redmist, the grey r32 4 door from Jungle Power, as well as loads of other cars.. videos to follow.

    then decided to buy a BN sports rear bumper off eBay :)

    [​IMG]

    oh and bought a spare RB20DET complete engine and box, with rb25 turbo for a decent price.. figured i'd build this engine up to the spec im after then drop it in when im ready for Nistune..


    its all go for next year :) aiming for 350-400hp on those parts, with a very healthy engine :)

    Should of just swap in a rb25. its a better approach than a rb20.

    OR sr20 the bish.

    video :)

    dan Joyce and Matthew chidley drift santa pod - YouTube



    and i was tempted to do the RB25. until literally everyone i spoke to said they were terrible for piston ring failure, and at the price of the engine, i dont want those sort of troubles.

    and i hate the sound of sr20's.

    and i can get the horsepower im wanting for sub £1500 out of the rb20 (not including cost of a spare engine ofcourse)

    Pretty much an unknown? Plenty that have gone over 400bhp on stock internals in the UK, I'd not say unknown.

    And no way will a Cossie T3 do 350bhp, never mind 400.

    And fuck pushing 1.5bar on one unless you hitting way above 400.

    yeah, you must be the first person to want to tune an rb20.

    ;)

    just pulled a cosworth turbo off an rb20 and put it in the bin because it was wank, put a steel internaled stock turbo on it so much better

    Oh wow really? I'm only going off the info that chunks told me, I'll see what Greg recommends and go with that then.. And I never said I was the first, but there's hardly any real definate do and fonts (from what I've researched) in the UK. Stav even said in his build thread that guys don't tend to bother with them over here

    In fact Stav, what turbo would you recommend to accommodate the other parts for around those power figures? You seem to really know your blowers :)

    Think the turbo on my rb20 is on it's way out due to the amount of smoke! I don't know that much about turbos but I heard decent things about Conceptua Tuning stage 1, Think it's just similar to a r32 turbo with steel internals, good for apparently 350bhp with a few other modifications. My issue was I wanted to spend as little as possible so I didn't want to buy a setup that required aftermarket wastegates and the manifold to be modified and such :p

    Had a lengthy convorsation with Greg yesterday afternoon :)

    He's suggested using the rb25 turbo but replacing the internals with steel ones instead of ceramic, and seeing as I already own a rb25 turbo, it makes sense to do it this way round :) so that's the plan now

    Also got my new rota's and my rear bumper and some skid wheels :) pics when I can be arsed :p

    My R32 4door uses the rb25 turbo as well. Was just going to suggest that, but you beat me to it ;)

    Quick question though, do you have a problem with overheating? If I dont run mine with my hood off and heater on during the summer, I run into some issues...
