Project: Ultimate Response GTS-T

[klys]

Well over the course of the winter I will try to see if my project is feasable. I will gather as much info as I can as I don't think it has been done before in Canada.

I currently have an HKS GT2535 and Although I like it very much (very very much :P ) I beleive the RB20 powerplant could be a bit faster to spool.

Also I'm basically limited to under 400HP at the crank with this turbo.

I could go for a bigger one BUT. One thing I wouldn't want is added lag!!

I'm really starting to like my Idea:

Going for a Twin turbo setup on my 2.2L platform !

I'm looking for either twin GT2510's OR twin HKS GT-SS's.

my current Hurdles are: the twin turbo Exhaust manifold for the RB20 head And the Electronics associated.

I could certainly attach a dummy intake with a single Z32 MAF (My current) but I feel this is probably not as accurate as a twin MAF setup or all out MAP.

I'm also somewhat worried about the RB20 head that doesn't flow enough air and that it might cause a bottle neck above 400hp

My funds are limited and I will porbably need to buy a new clutch next year as well as another Diff.

I will have more details as the project comes along

here's a teezer:

sounds like a good project.... i hope you will be redoing the bottom end and head?... and with forges internals? what manifold are you going to be using... i would get one from JUN made for the RB20 but looks like the GTR one...

anyways hope it works out... looks like a good project

unbeknown'st to you obviously, klys' engine is already built (rb22), so he already has a good start on most other people


klys, as for more HP, more HP means more lag

[lucky_cefiro]

hey Klys, i was looking around at this myself, from what i've seen on a standard rb20 with stock gtr turbo's 9psi came on at 5000rpm...nto much of a powerband...that could also be because of the piping they used.

if you need somone to fab the manifold, let me know, i've had it figured out for a long long time how to do it...and on the cheap.

[klys]

For sure Mat I will need so help with the manifold!

I don't get how two small ceramic turbos like that took so much time to spool

However I'm sure that 9 PSI from both the GTR turbo probably flow more air then my 15PSI. the difference being that my 15 PSI come on at 3500rpm :P

I'm still thinking .. 2530 for 2.6L 2510 for 2.2L good compromise

anyways I really don't know yet if this is ever going to happen but I'd love to see it in action

[klys]

Here are a few Goodies I have received!

New HKS filters, they say they need to be changed every 5000km?!
I had been runing my old one for the last 30k


APP Stainless Steel Brake lines
I'll see how they hold at the track!


Nismo SS clutch line


Well since I have an ORC 709D clutch coming in
this might come in handy

A Nismo harned clutch fork pivot


Last but not least
An OMP WRC leather steering wheel


I also bought some Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid
to replace my less that a year old DOT4

[klys]

Well my APP Steel Braided Lines are in!

It kinda makes a difference but I'll See tomorrow on the track!

I tried it a couple of times and I got to the braking threshold two three times easily.

The feel is just a bit stiffer but not overly so

braking shouldn't feel any different during normal driving, but you won't experience brake fade during hard driving with those lines

[klys]

I had a great weekend at the TRAC Racing Academy

I must also say that I didn't experience brake fade. Everyone of my friends had some but my pedal was very consistent! and I could repeat threshold braking as I pleased after a bit of practice!

great stuff!

on the down side my already finished tires are now down to the nylon lining

BUT

I got me some of these!



BF KDW2'S

can wait to try them on the track

next up I will try to get me some R compound tires

[klys]

Well it seems that the car still has surprises up it's sleeve!

look at what I found today under the cover

Woohooo!


I decided to check on the timing belt because it made a weird sound ..

can anyone tell me if this is a normal sound? or if the belt seems a bit loose??

it stops doing the sound when the timing belt changes it harmonic oscillation or something

thanks

Nice project and ideas you got going for your Skyline!
I would recommend you change your timing belt for a Nismo or Tomei one.
$150.00 is not much for a piece of mind! Plus you would want to change it anyways before you make the power you want to make with this project!
Is it normal for a timing belt to flap like that when reving the engine?

Your car sounds awesome BTW!

[klys]

ya for sure

belt and tensioner are on the way already!

[klys]

Also Got me a brand new ORC 709 twin plate clutch!

pics to come

it's a beaut to bad it's all hidden up in the tranny

[Alexandru]

Saw your car at Redline Time Attack...she looks great !

[klys]

thanks

I did finish 3rd which is Good but not as good has I would have like..

the red BMW M3 was also on street tires ... I would have like to be has fast as him
