Hello guys, In the meantime I did a lot of research, calculations and all sorts of possible setups and to be honest I'm not yet 100% sure which way I'll go with the first engine but what I can tell you is that I will be buying more of these engines and trying out different setups (in time, of...

@spf_lexus - Yes, for now twin T25s seem like the best idea, but I'm still looking. The charger can be added whenever I want/can after the initial setup is done but only if it will actually be needed. I as said before, the top-end will not have to be very "evil" in my application. It should help...

@spf_lexus Thank you for your input on this. The centrifugal indeed seemed like a very nice choice, easy to implement, able to be intercooled if higher boost is needed and indeed some of the procharger and vortech (v2+) ones are quiet. I was looking more into the V1 as they are significantly...

Thank you, that's extremely useful, don't have to do all the formula calculations on my own :) That's an extremely useful resource, you saved me TONS of time. Later edit : That calculator is GOLD for me, I owe you one ! In the meantime I also found a T25 compressor map, I'm yet again a happy...

Hello guys, Does anyone have the compression map (graph) for the Garett T25 turbo ? I've been searching for this for a while and haven't been able to find it.. Also, is the stock mass flow and volumetric efficiency of the 1UZ data available anywhere or should I just try and use estimations ...

Yeah, that torque converter is a pig :) Cheers, Octav

Hello guys, I've measured the engine bay of the S13 and it should fit quite snuggly, the engine is slightly smaller than I initially though which is great. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the TT setup fit very nicely though, but I guess we'll have to live and see, it still depends on a lot...

@cribbj Awesome, thank you so much for this, they're of great help. I'll start doing some maths as soon as I can free up a bit from my design work and measure the S13, a car hobby can be quite taxing on the finances :) Cheers, Octav

@ruishy1 shhhhh :) you were watching it too ? I noticed just after I bought it it's in northern ireland so it's going to be a pain in the butt getting there since my plane lands in London. Anyway, at least I'll visit Ireland as well. @stevechumo - After some more thought on this I think I...

@slipway We have plans of skidding a Soarer, but a 2.5 TT JZZ30 we hope to buy in about two months. In my opinion the Nissan is a much better car for skidding, especially because of the short wheelbase and it's relatively low weight. The Soarer would be easier for a beginner and harder once...

Hello guys, Great news, it's now official, I'm the owner of a nice little V8 Soarer :) I can't wait to go collect it on the 1st Feb. @XR8tt Thank you for the suggestion, that was actually the plan, have the drift ecu configuration run less boost in the upper RPM range and have another time...

@JustenGT8 I would rather make custom headers as this seems to really count on the 1UZ. I'm not going with the dirt cheap approach necessarily, just don't want to pay excessively more than I should to reach my target. A pair of custom (properly made) headers is 200 euros here, that's about...

@cribbj Thank you for the welcome ! I will gladly showcase all the mods here and as I will get accustomed to the 1UZ try to help others but now as you can see I'm just doing my homework as I will be picking the actual car up in 2 weeks :) No harm in being prepared and having a plan though, is...

Hello again and thank you for your input. At the moment twin turbo is indeed my top preference. As you well put it the older RS6 V8 TT is an all-round great engine so I should be able go get close to it's specs with the 1UZ by adding TT. Same turbo location wouldn't fit in the S13 but can be...

Hello, Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately there's no exotic fuels here and even worse so their quality is not that great. The car would be tuned for 95 octane petrol. There's also an issue with the diff, my current final drive is 4.03 which is decently short, I don't think I'd be able to...
