The turbo has been replaced from a HKS GT2835R with trust external wastegate on a tuned length custom manifold but now has been fitted with a HKSGT2540 for low to mid range power. Of course the fuel system need upgrading so he fitted the bosch 600hp fuel pump with SARD 850cc injectors so the car doesnt max out on the duty cycle. For all this to work well, The LINK EMS ECU was fitted.
Well we all should know that if you've got the speed you need the stopping power for it and all brakes have been changed with front DBA slotted disks with GTR R32 callipers and rear 300zx disks. By looking at the pictures of this, you may notice that it sits pretty damn high because the car was defected. But now its been fitted with KYB lowered suspension and looks even more sleek.
My brother doesnt like for his car to be seen by much but i think it needs to because of the effort, time and pain that has been put through this fine project. At this moment, the car is waiting for a full tune and cant wait for it to be on the road. With the GT2835R on 10psi it made 186rwkw but was not in its effieciency range which is about 1.4bar(23-26psi), the car was amazingly quick and can tell you that the km/h tacho was travelling the same speed as the rpm tacho:) Well i hope you enjoyed checking out a nice clean silvia.
Ive seen this turbo with similar mods make 300 rear wheel kw (10.9sec 1/4mile)but anywhere around 250 will be fine. The car should be capable of running a mid 11sec 1/4 mile run on street tyres (Nittos) but will keep you guys and girls posted on dyno runs and 1/4 mile times.This car will be usually used for track days.
