best mods for ae101 20v?

[Mr Revhead]

well obviously youll need a turbo ex manifold. and youll probably run a link or something so you can get rid of the afm. iv been asked before how the stock airbox holds up under boost, im not sure of this. but id imagine itd be ok unless your running 60psi!!

on the contrary i've heard they split at 6 psi.

No firm proof either way.

[vvega]

i split mine at about that
had to urothane it all up to keep it togeather
gunna make custon one i think

[Mr Revhead]

sheesh 6 psi? wouldave thought it would handle more than that!
but there ya go....

yeah, lol i think the 3rd gear synchros are on their way out now, only when i try to flat shift though, and i just fixed some problems with my ignition, so thats probabaly alot of the problem rite there.

man where did u find the POS gearbox? lol and did u have the bonnet off at any stage?

got the gearbox off somone on this forum - cant remember their name but they were putting a 20v in their aw11 and had bought and engine adn gearbox but were keeping their original gearbox. they said that the gearbox was out of a crashed levin and they weren't sure of condition of the gearbox but i was pretty gutted after all the work of swapping it to find that it was worse than my original one.

i never had the bonnet off but i wasn't the first nz owner - i don't know who it was but i got the impression that they'd done some crazy stuff to it - when i bought it it had polish all over it that had been rubbed onto the paint but not polished off so it looked crap - took it home and polished all the polish off and it came up pretty good

[strap-on]

the paint on that bonnet is fuked lol wont polish up at all, meh oh well, warrick how much for a gtz bonnet? i want the rice as letter box

Never driven a GTZ yet that diddn't crunch into third when driven hard.
Comes from the clucth plate being so big and heavy meaning the syncro's cant handle it.

removing the cat gives huge gains

you say that removing the cat has huge gains really i thought this was only good for turbo cars.

Dude all cars like to breath it's just more noticeable on turbo cars because it usually brings a small boost increase with it and lets the down pipe work alot more efficiently Is still a worthwhile gain on na cars as well but you just don't notice the same kind of jump in power as you do on a turbo car - like all na mods compared to the same mods on a turbo unfortunately

[ROBODISCO_20v]

I currently have a 20v silvertop, so does that mean that when I do come to turbo it, I'll be better off buying a complete supercharged engine? or can you mix & match & keep the original 20v in there?

Trying to figure out a complete parts list for my project... the blonde needs help!!

No, the silvertop 20v handle turboing quite well. there is a workshop in queensland that have an 11s silvertop 20v. They dont bother with ZE blocks, as they said the silver top is strong enough.

[JT]

Standard silvertop will run a mid-high 16

Totally depends on the driver. I did a 16.0 in my stock standard 101. All I did was take the spare wheel out, headlight out (probably slowed it down!) and give it some proper fuel Elmo did a 15.9 in his, only had a pod filter. We've both got slips to prove it! Unlike some people

[Al]

I believe Chelles driving her old ae101 Trueno ran a 15.7-15.8 at ruapuna with a boot full of gear as well that was stock too apparantly?

[shaggz]

i had an ae101 levin it was fast enuogh to beat gsr lancers integras and i even dusted a gtst skyline it was a jap import so even though i have now onsold it i wasnt completely sure of what mods were internally down xcept something trick was done to the system and the valvetiming came on earlier and reved hard core,also did a pod and had trd headers

[corollamadness]

Are you sure you didn't have a supercharger in the engine bay or a turbo. I can believe Integras but GSRs and GTST skylines well i'm a bit sceptical. If this is correct then i would be really curious to what exactly was done to your car and why you would want to sell it.

Might be another case of the triffic light grand prix where the other driver didn't even know he was there and was just drivin normal?

[GT 20Valve]

Lol i was thinkn the exact same thing i have 1 and yes i can beat 1600 v-tec integras but gtst Skylines buddy wake up he was propably reversing!

[RAZA]

na it was probably just a shagged gtst

nissan's factory quote time for the quarter is 14.9 for a manual r32 gts-t, for an auto probably add a little to that - there are 20v's on here doing faster than that.
mind you in most real world situations the gtst would probably own due to the amount of torque available right through the range.

or it could have been a gts4 - they are a turbo skyline but they weigh so much that a standard auto one is not really fast at all.
I never took mine to the strip but i would say it would have been lucky to beat a high 15.

[corollamadness]

Only other thing i can think of is the skyline was not a GTST and was just riced up to look like one with badges and all. There are straight 6 non turbo ones out there.

One night i was in my mates VS V6 commodore and there was this other commodore next to us at the lights weren't sure what it was but my mate beat it quite substantially. We then let it go past us to see some HSV badges on it and a V8 badge to make it look like a HSV V8.

Some people these days crack me up especially all the riced up hondas they are the best

Is that right a v6 skyline, can you tell me more about it they must be quite rare! Is it possible that the guy in the v8 gave it a quick stab to like 30k's so you thought he was racing then idled off?? I do that every now and again and normally the other guy nails it to like 80k's and thinks i've raced him!

[corollamadness]

Yeah these skylines are rare but i'm sure there is one floating around somewhere. But also there is the inline 6 non turbo i believe

And yes this guy was racing as he first raced a SSS pulsar and just won first we were behind the fake hsv commodore at the time as the other lane was occupied. Once we got to the next available lights all three of these cars raced and HSV look alike was finished. I also remember the VS not having a bodykit as well and i'm quite sure not 100% sure that the HSVs usually all have bodykits standard.
