.....just as scarey BEHIND the wheel though!

...guess we just EXCHANGED 'frights' eh?! :badgrin:

**Posted:** Mon Mar 20, 2006 3:41 pm

Teehee,

I upped the boost this morning, a lil trick from astinagt boys, not its a lil more scary!!

**Posted:** Mon Mar 20, 2006 3:51 pm

GET THAT ECU SORTED!!

.....then find a discounted tyre supplier as you'll soon be needing them!!

...wonder how much faster it would be with some soft tyres.... Hmmmm.

You can always borrow Andy's 17s with the Eagle F1s on them... ..just for an experiment! :cyclopsani:

**Posted:** Mon Mar 20, 2006 4:48 pm

It'd be slower in a straight line with soft tyres, but faster off the line, faster cornering and faster stopping.

Tis niiiiice

You might want to get some dials in your cockpit before you go tweaking the boost toooo much - and don't do it without high octane fuel or octane booster!!!

I got the dials, just need to put them in DOH!

car runs ok on 95 ron but i should really be putting the good stuff in with booster :S

need job first teehee

Dont really need the ECU yet, first job...

Boost controller

then...

2 1/4" or 2.5" full exhaust with high flow CAT

then..

bigger fuel pump, walbro RX7 pump will do fine

Better air filter, will prob put my Jetex DCAF back on the car

then I want a bigger turbo, not too sure which yet, I might get a high flow VF10 for now as its pritty much a bolt on turbo, hybrid for the GTX manifold, (no need to swap her)

then...

Microtech LT8 ECU...

then...

bigger injectors from a 7MGTE Supra or some RB26 Skyline GTR
injectors , might fit a FSE aswell

thats pritty much the plan for the engine mods

I dont know how much BHP that would give, id like to think it would be in the region on 220 -250bhp

then LSD from a type R 323f

then kill myself in it

**Posted:** Mon Mar 20, 2006 6:36 pm

hey Ben have u asked the others if those injectors will work for our engines?

**Posted:** Mon Mar 20, 2006 7:06 pm

The others?? teehee

Yes they will fit

mate, your car that fast you been to the future?

Shaggy, you really should be running higher octane fuel. You run a much higher risk of detonation especially when you run it hard with the extra boost you've dialled in! The GTX will might be expecting it too

Please mate, for me

Dont worry fella its ok, my knock control unit it strapped in hard

ill pop to the shops when i can afford petrol and get some optimax ok

....and booster

another reason to swap ECU's teehee

**Posted:** Tue Mar 21, 2006 8:45 am

ECU - definately matey :thumbleft:

I wouldn't go for one of those ghetto Megasquirts though

Mark

**Posted:** Tue Mar 21, 2006 10:17 am

lol, but it would match the ghetto pipe

**Posted:** Tue Mar 21, 2006 11:08 am

You wont need the injectors with the standard turbo or even the VF10.
I only now need the larger ones as am chasing 200kw atw. I will let you
know if the RB26 GTR ones are a direct fit I got them today and will have
them cleaned and fitted on friday.
I would go a 2.5" exhaust and wouldn't bother with the fuel pressure reg
either.

hi ben

can i ask what bhp you are running at and were you got your engine from can you pm me the address

dave

**Posted:** Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:54 am

Currently im unsure of the power dave, Ive got a full 2.5 zorst/boost controller turned up2 11psi and a walbro 255l pump, I predict it will be around 195-200bhp after a good service and a RR tune

IF you are thinking of a gtx/r I would advise you find one in the UK, much easier than importing

if you really want the addy I willPM you it, let me know

Ben

one critical thing i would like to remind the engine transplanters about...is the parts available for the GTX and the GTR, and the price on the parts...

GTR is rare and expencive....

would ba a crapper if you thrashed the GTR engine, and cant afford to fix it

Therefore, you should have a good money to spare, if you go GTR

**Posted:** Thu Oct 05, 2006 12:26 pm

cough cough ...

**Posted:** Thu Oct 05, 2006 12:38 pm

can this transplant be done to a 1.5?

**Posted:** Thu Oct 05, 2006 1:58 pm

yes, you need a few more bits tho, its basically the same transplant andyM is doing ( same engine) but without a turbo

Here is my BPT engine sat in the a 323 gtx in japan, this engine is now in my car

here is Andyms new engine

same engine but without the turbo

**Posted:** Tue Dec 12, 2006 2:53 pm

I know how it feels to sit in a modded GTX and just flying down a private road! can't describe all those feelings! top notch job there mate! just 1 question did ya use the engine from a Familia?

**Posted:** Wed Dec 13, 2006 1:08 pm

sure did fella JDM 323 Familia GTX (BPT-Turbo)

**Posted:** Thu Aug 23, 2007 12:57 pm

didn't want to create a new topic for one question so here it goes:
I'm planning to put a GTR engine into BA body. I'm buying GTR engine with the gearbox. The thing is that my friend badly needs this gearbox. So my question is would it be worth for me to sell him the gearbox and put a standard 1.8 BA gearbox onto GTR engine? How long would I last with standard geabox? And how much the GTR gearbox is worth?

**Posted:** Thu Aug 23, 2007 1:05 pm

GTR gearbox is 4wd - you cant really use the GTR box anyways

You really want a G - series box from the very early 1.8 BA's and i think the BG GT's(you might want to check that with someone) :thumbright:

**Posted:** Thu Aug 23, 2007 6:09 pm

Ye GTR box in uk are from 250-500+ depends on condition. But yes matt is correct, you want a G series ( G25-MR) if possibly , find them in the 1.8 1994/ early 95 BA's

**Posted:** Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:56 pm

what is the standard turbo??
