You going to need a stand alone?

Post up the specs, cant find it on the website.

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:09 pm

im pretty sure the standard 6a12 wouldnt be able to handle this baby!

^^^Nice

Any plans on when they're gonna start the project?

Astron_Boy · Post by **Astron_Boy** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:17 pm

Wow, wonder what level of porting the heads have gone through.

How much it costing? and what ecu you have planned?

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:27 pm

still in discussions with them...
will give them a ring tomorrow to sort some things out...
they said it will take about 3 to 4 months to build

thats gonna be a very slow few months!

mr-charisma · Post by **mr-charisma** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:38 pm

cool stuff mate ...

Definitely gonna be a slow 6 months .. I think I would die from that much anticipation..

How much is the whole project going to cost you?

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:41 pm

still sortingg out the nitty gritty...
but yes i think i will die...

holy sh*t man that is fu'&ing kick arse!
I read they built one then stripped and sold off as parts, was wondering how long it would take someone to this

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:50 pm

so after a lengthy discussion with my mechanic it seems that this would be very expensive to run...
with such a high compression it would require race fuel which is above $6 a litre!

it would chew through oil and petrol...
it would need a rebuild every 15,000kms...

but it would be freakin awesome!
i just dont have the funds to keep it runnning like that...
ive emailed rpw to see if they could tune it down a bit by lowering the compression and having lesser cams but they havent gotten back to me...
so now we wait and see...
if they cant do anything then i mite go the gr turbo path...

That will cost you at least 20 grand to get right. RPW aint cheap.

Save your coin, either put a snail on a GR ($6000) or do the 6A13 ($10,000)

nvr2low · Post by **nvr2low** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:57 pm

wow man why not go down the 6a13 path look what happened to sams car when he went 6a12 gr turbo. but then look at simons his works sweet

so man what are you telling him? to do it or not

I agree with ben and (maybe) nvr2low

nvr2low · Post by **nvr2low** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 2:13 pm

ok just get the 6a13tt their happy simon haha

mr-charisma · Post by **mr-charisma** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 3:19 pm

In addition to what Ben said. .there is a reason why RPW scrapped the project ..

It would be awesome .. No argument .. but it does have to be a "money is no object" project ..

As Ben & Mitch said .. 'tis a better spend of the money to go 6A13 or plain turbo .. even dropping in a 4g63 would be better & still pretty unique.. not sure if it's been done in Aus yet..

nvr2low · Post by **nvr2low** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 3:25 pm

yeah mate it has been done before i think the car with the number plates fto evo or evo fto it was for sale on this forum mate

Astron_Boy · Post by **Astron_Boy** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 3:42 pm

do the 4g63, would love someone to tackle that.

I nominate you!

The r35 requires a similar job to be done to it every XXXXXkm and it makes a balls load of power.
so unless this engine can do equal, then yeah, not worth it.

you would be spending a LOT to keep it compliance happy, and then you'd simply hinder it.
