M325i vs SR20DET.

Recommended Posts

Write up coming soon, next week/weekend, uni has just started again :)

And Re: getting some mounts made. I think over summer I'll get a few sets duplicated. Just no time/money currently. Will be cool to see a few more of these blasphemous hybrid cars around!

And run an air filter people. I must repeat this. Car is no fun with lag and low boost.

Although it goes pretty nuts freeboosting :D (8-9 or so psi, like in the video ^ )

And che-hears.

Well so the turbo popped. Freeboosting the fin f**ked turbo ended with a bit of ol' blue smoke out the back, and the turbo-manifold gasket blowing out.

I looked at getting another T25 on the cheap, just so I could have it running. But yesterday I decided to call in some favours and gather up the funds to get a much, much better churbro.

Part Number 14411-91F00. S15 Spec R T28 Ball Bearing turbo. This turbo will stay on the engine until it comes out of this car. Do it once, do it right. They say it is quite superior to S14 turbos, and will push out 300+ horse powers.

Came with oil/water lines, inlet/outlet/dump pipes, the better S15 manifold (still cast though) and all the heatsheilding (needs it).

You could mount the poked one as a rite-of-passage trophy somewhere

Or take it in to your insurer and say it was earthquake damaged

The T25 will be strung hiiiigh into the roof of the workshop, to remind all-comers, far and wide, to use air filters.

I wish I could type that how I can say that haha (think movie voice over guy)

It's small. But does the trick. Not going for topend non-useable power here.

Car is very, very fast on 0.8bar. Clutch couldn't keep up though, so will run standard boost for the trackday on thursday. 1 bar will come one day.. Massive tunnel vision going from 50-150 in 3rd (gears are long john silver)

Pictures of rooted T25 turbo tomorrow!

Very cool man. A mate of mine has an FJ20ET/Link for sale, it was going to go into his datsun 1600 project. He keeps telling me to ditch the M50 and stick the FJ in for near the same price.. and 400 rwp.... Its hard work saying no.

Removed video. Imagine a dark scene, loud car, wheelspinning into the distance.

I don't do burnouts, but here is wheelspin from standstill to around the top of 2nd gear (110 or so-ish-ly-ness)

And that's stock boost............ Good grief this is the best thing ever!

Excuse the night footage ahaa! As you can hear it's not very stealth. We were out testing colder plugs and different boost levels with a proper knock sensor.

Nice. It’s all about balance. I love embarrassing large turbo EVO’s and WRX’s in my little French car with its small Turbo, im gone before thier turbo kicks in and the straights are over just when they are coming on form. They always win the dyno racing though.

Your car looks like the best fun ever and so so much cooler than a 200SX or Skyline.

It’s the E30 I would most like to have a drive of around here, looks as much fun anything I can imagine.

Well thanks a lot there Graham :)

Fun: It's what it is really all about. It doesn't have wide rims, active differentials, active yaw control, fast steering, monoblock 6 pot calipers or central locking that works 100% of the time.. But it is what it is: fun.

Few extra pics I've been meaning to post.

And here is the trackday video, 2mins of fun:

Powersteering, water pipes, cam angle sensor. All off to get the bloody t28bb turbo/manifold package in.
