Any DSM meets in San Diego

[Nito15]

Japanese very rusty? wires need to be plugged in and gauge in the cluster has to be working. thats all to it? maybe you have to modify the factory speed sensor if its a different type of signal etc to work with the transmission and the gearing in the sensor.
Found this might help. POLL: s13/s14 chassis w/ rb25det swap, does your speedo work? : RB20DET / RB25DET / RB26DETT Forum - Page 2

Ah yes that is exactly what i was looking for ...I didn't even see that forum

 

[banishedmunk]

Yeah man I would be pretty stoked if I was you right about now pinching myself making sure its real. hahah I know of only one other big turbo, built RB26DET in an oldschool 240 locally pushing over 500 wheel. That thing just spins its slicks down the ricer parkinglot AKA Racelegal.

Here is a video of it at Fontana
240z w/ skyline swap racing at fontana - YouTube

IDK how DSMs are suppoes to keep up with that.

A 500hp car that cant put the power to the ground will get beat by a 400hp car that can...

Wing N' Things for trans help, son.

I PM'd a buddy of mine thats a welder Kris, just waiting for him to get back. I'll let you know, just wasn't sure if he can weld aluminuminuminum.

 

[OgamiGST]

Yeah thank fully the suspension is pretty well upgraded with Megan everything...I've got put together a list of stuff that's on this baby. I'm going down to where the pro drifters play after work today I'm sure they would love to help me pick out everything done...

 

[gofer]

we have a 1998 gsx in our shop, it has a 2g head and a 1g intake manifold is that a good idea? I think they said it has a 1g bottom end.

Interesting combo they got there

 

[Nito15]

yes, it is a good idea to produce a wall of turbulance at the end of the intake plenum and hinder performance unless the head was match ported to the 1g intake head diameter.

Yikes ... why would they do that? unless they ported it and did it correctly... did they run out of parts

 

[Nito15]

Who knows? Ive seen horrific stuff done to local DSMs but I just bust a 180 and not make it my problem. Anyway check out no.11 here Complete RB25DET swap into a 240sx s13 Register to that forum and do some searching. The people I know with 240s don't use the factory ECU or factory gauges. The only one I know that does use the factory gauge cluster also has a standalone but the speedo doesn't work, i think it has everything to do with the T56 transmission it is using. Start a new favorites folder for all the info you find and save ECU pinouts and diagrams. They are a must.

i'll give the guy 750 for the GSX... id be happy to fix the issues for him

So still stock suspension-wise?

Nope, just don't know what they are yet they might just be painted but I'm going to have a few others look at it and see what all has been done. The handling is amazing and driving with the rear end welded is actually pretty fun

 

[agarc023]

Cool


On a separate note anyone interested in a apexi ws2 catback? Im buying a downpipe and the the guy wants to throw in the catback for 125 if someone will take it.

 

[gofer]

Just wait until it rains, you might incorporate a toilet seat so when you shit your pants from a 65mph slide you don't make a mess. Sounds like a fun car though, I've always liked the S15s.

No bit I'm looking for the stock GSX catback.

That's actually a really good exhaust ..you should take it

 

[agarc023]

I already have my plan for exhaust you know that.

Dammit Corey haha

Just did it yes it was fun and scary but I pulled it off beautifully ... just a turtle head no a full on shitting the pants though those damn off ramps... Speedo doesn't work but I was going pretty fast this will end up looking like a s15 when I'm done ... I wanted the s13 K series for the 300lbs less so it's really 150lbs less because the RB25 adds 150lbs more so I figured it would still be a nice weight reduction over all.

I know I know but I saw one of those on a guys Spyder in L.A. and it was niiiiice

 

[goodbuds]

if it was'int a school night i would have gone over there to kick you in the ribs while the he-she was on your chest. thailand all over again

 

[donaldseclipse]

hey ogamigst(jason), my bro and my friend chris doom at deeps garage can do anything you want with that engine and car, also your car wont make 500rwhp yet it does have the potential to make that. it is a inline 6 cylinder equivalent to the supra 2jz inline 6, but your rb25 will give you enough horse power to drift close to 300rwhp with more potential later which is what you wanted, do you have some stiff suspension and a welded diff or lsd to get you sideways. also a popular website for 240sx cars alike is zilvia.com
