Black Forged Rev 2 Turbo

Post by Craig_'2 »

I Thought it was time to post this up seeing as this car has been owned by 2 members on here - cvega666 & j0ns.

After owning a Rev 3 N/A for 3 1/2 years I thought it was time to give turbo power a go.

Previous stead:

I spotted Jons for sale post back in January. So I arranged to view the car one weekend, after a good look round with a mate & a quick 5mph drive around a farmers yard, I liked it so much I bought it on the spot and spent the 2 1/2 hour drive home grinning at the sound & power of this beastie :D :twisted:

Once it was back, a mate of mine who loves detailing cars couldn't resist popping over & giving it a coat of polish & wax. Afterwards, we stood back in awe of the shiny paint work that was hiding underneath the layer of dirt that was present when I picked it up - Jon did say he spent more time driving it than cleaning it! :lol:

And so the changes began, I swapped the stock gear knob for a weighty Greddy unit and the small (and possibly illegal!) front number plate was swapped for the square plate found in the passenger seat.

Then the Nur was swapped for a Japspeed. As much as I love the Nur, it was far too loud for me on the inside of the car, especially as I use the car daily. Plus I am a fan of the twin exit's on these cars. It turns out that whilst the Japspeed is quite a bit quieter on the inside, it's louder on the outside, people have commented that it can be heard from over half a mile away at low revs :lol: :lol:

Rubbish phone pic:

Next up I set up the Gizzmo boost controller with a few personal settings. It's still running at 0.9 bar so well within the limits of the stock fuelling but it comes on quicker & stronger than before giving the car more mid range punch - ideal for daily driving & suits my driving style :thumleft:

This is how the car stands now, however it is soon the change again. I've picked up a standard bonnet to replace the carbon bonnet currently fitted, the carbon is very nice and works well on this car however I do prefer the standard look. I've also got some HKS brake hoses to go on & a neat little mod for the front sidelights/indicators.

Anyway, that's enough of my ramblings! :lol:

Thanks :thumleft:

Engine wise, I'll be doing a Rev 3 conversion (ECU & injectors) then the boost can be upped to 1.2 bar - it's already running a CT20b & supporting mods.
Eventually I'd like a stage 2 CT20b, after market ECU/piggyback,, bored out fuel rail & a Walboro pump and run it at 1.3/1.4 bar, that should net around 330/340 bhp - perfect for the road.

Handling, ARB's & up rated brakes - maybe do the 200sx/skyline 4 pot mod on the front & RX8 discs on the rear.

Exterior, mostly unchanged - the wheels & calipers will be changed to blue to match the other parts that are already fitted throughout the car & a Rev 5 spoiler.

And most of all, enjoy it! :D

Nice car fella, with a nice set of mods! I'd have left the carbon bonnet on mind, but that's just me :thumleft:
