Hi all,
I am looking at building a V8 Skyline based on a '95 R33 GTS-T. I have a '91 Soarer engine complete and an R154 gearbox.I also have a Celica GT4 flywheel but have yet to source a clutch.I am making up an adaptor plate at the moment, to connect the gearbox to the Soarer bellhousing.The car arrives from Japan later this month.I would like to turbocharge but have a couple of questions.
1) How much boost can I run safely without an engine rebuild to decompress.I intend to use a large FMIC and after market management for ignition and fueling.
2) Which turbo's would be most suitable - I would like a pair of GT25r's but these are beyond my budget.I can obtain Skyline GTS turbo's for reasonable money, or possibly Impreza turbo's - again readily available and cheap.
I would like to acheive 350 - 400 bhp at the flywheel which would probably require 6 - 8psi?The car will be for road use + the odd track day.
Cheers,
Phil.
