My 2012 Kouki S14a Rb25det Conversion

[longisland]

Hey mates,

first I need to tell u something bout me.
Im comin from Germany and doing a lot of stuff like driftin, building cars and helping friends with work on their cars.
Im working for the biggest Garage here in NRW Germany.
Im a mechanic and HQT for Landrover/Rangerover over here.
So yes. Fucking british cars :cool:

I had my R33 GTST for more than 3 years now and it was time for a change.
Before I imported my R33 in year 2008 I looked for a white S14a Kouki version from Japan. But at this point Skylines were more rare than this time now.

So it was clear that I need to build a S14a now.

The R33 has some serious drift and engine spec and everything will be put into the S chassis.

Here is a small list:

rb25det with less than 50XXX km and compression all above 10,5 bar.
td06sl2-25g with external tial gate
nozzs top mount manifold
power FC
nismo injectors and so on...
a long long long list .

But youll see hw its going on.

I got my new schasis a few weeks before from nothern Ireland.
And Ive allready got good friends over there in Ireland.
Best greetz to the man Nicholas.;)



Now, the car is standing at TJ-Imports Garage for getting all the shiney and powerful stuff. Thanks to Thomas for that kindly move that he can give me space and tools and so on! Great guy!


Ill post some pictures later but a for now some pictures of the R33 and the chassis:

How wide are they man?? I'm gonna guess 9.5j , so they won't need any rolling , maybe just roll up the lip !!

Great choice in wheel man!!

[longisland]

Today I managed to get a bit of heat wrap onto the engine bay where the turbo will sit.

Next week hopefully my rb25det will be out of the r33 and be cleaned and some small stuff fixed for the s14.
need to change the engine mounts.
ordered the syko performance engine conversion mounts.
My R33/rb25 brake master cylinder and brake lines for the fronts Ill put into the s14.
Theres a lot of work to do!
Some other parcels Im waiting for will contain this:
-carbon slam panel
-new intercooler unit
-e fans
-steel pipes for intercooler piping
-... and a lot of stuff I forgetting right now :D but ordered before :D

Now some pictures of my old r33 and some new ones of the parts and so on. Just having little time to spend it on uploading pictures :cool:

hiya whered you get the turbo and all from and what size injectors you using have a s14 with rb25 in it and looking to go top mount thanks

[longisland]

Hey,
well its a Kinugawa Td06sl2-25g but the one with a kind of smaller AR on the compressor as a t67-25g.
All connecting stuff like oil lines and return is the same qualitiy as Tomei or better!!!!!!!
The exhaust manifold is a nozzs performance manifold. its a super strong one.
3.2mm thickness of the pipes and the flanges are 15mm strong. + 44mm vband adapter.

Fuel system is a stock fuel pump which pumps into a surge tank and then a 044 will shoot it to the front.
Both pumps wired with relay to battery which sits in the back. o nice 14+V on them.
Nismo Injectors brand new. Pressure will be set a bit higher due to new injectors and a nismo fuel press regulator.

Full tuning and help and mapping and other settings will be made by Sky-Engineering in Netherlands!

Im just the mechanic :cool:

[bwreilly]

is this make turbo a decent turbo set up???reliability wise etc

[longisland]

Hey,
well the turbo is made by highest quality.
Was tested by a lot of people in Australia.
Great results were achieved by them.
The supporting stuff like hoses lines and flanges are quality wise like HKS Tomei and so on.

Stuff is really worth the money!
Machined with Garrett/Mitsubishi machines and plans.


Just had not that much time to get on with the car.
Engine is out off the R33 and the break master cylinder went into the s-chassis.
Need to get a few ore stuff to get on with the project.

Welcome georg , looks like a great build , used those turbos on sr20's before with great success, looking forward to seeing it being used on your rb25, wouldn't mind doing something similar on my R32. good base car to start off with, wanted that myself but funds didn't allow

[longisland]

Hey folks,

here is a bit of an update.
Just got the engine in. Syko Performance Mount kit is great but I think I need to get another Master Clutch Cylinder. It sits really near to the intake manifold at least only 5mm space ;)

Managed to get a R32GTR Goki 60mm radiator to go with the car.
Needed to space down the lower braces where the radiator sits on.
Its not to high and will clear the bonnet now, hopefully :cool:
Put in the oil cooler and shortened the lines. IC is mounted in too. But perhaps Ill rotate it 180° to have the in/outlet upperside to shorten the IC piping.

The manifold is great and Ive plenty of room for a bigger turbo sometime.
The turbo looks so sweet and tiny in this engineroom. haha.
should do its work.


My td06sl2-25g
60.5/78 AR60 Compressor
60/54.1 AR73 Turbine

Gt3076r
57/76 AR60 Compressor
60/ ?? AR?? Turbine

So it should pull hard :D

Theres so much left to do on this fuckin project.

Here some pictures:

A lot of new stuff is waiting to go in this car.
E-fans, 2litre petrol swirl pot with a bosch044...and so on.

I think hopefully in 2-4 months the car should be ready,
