`Shogun´ & +700BHP!

DEFTFORCE is da ****!


It all started when I had my drivers licence. I built my own dragster, a Cuda -70 with 1136 hp. Hemi Cuda -70 (http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/album/album.php?username=shogun&cat=6361)


It was an awsome adventure to be in control of this extreme machine, knowing I built it myself and have success at the races. Eights on the strip, lovely time it was but rediculously expensive.

Today I´m building an extreme street racer. Handling and brutal power in a nice wraping.
Even if I am building most of it myself, it is costing a lot, but it is worth every single Krona, Euro and Dollar. Luckily there are many good suppliers around the world who produce quality parts at decent prices. I have made many good contacts during the years.

I bought the car in 1998, it was in a very good condition and more important, the engine was flawless and without errors and only a few Miles on it, just to pay.

The first mod I did was 17" rims, lowering springs and adjustable Koni dampers.
After that some styling. Got in contact with Erebuni and together we found a package and named it Shogun. They still use my car on their site.

The engine needed an upgrade. Started with exhaust system, chip tuning, open air filter and increased boost. The result was rather meager, some lousy 200 hp. Nothing to chear about. I got an intercooler, a larger turbo and a manifold. Increased fuel pressure and a modified chip. Together with some other changes, the engine produced some 300 hp... Still not satisfied.

I sold most of it.

After a heavy research I started collecting high performance parts to make it 100%. Forged pistons, forged rods, new aftermarket control unit, injectors, turbo, manifold, large IC, water cooler, clutch, oil cooler, fuelpressure regulator, blow off valve, etc etc... Bosch Motorsports added high ohm 960cc injectors from their development department. It´s nice to have contacts.
Lots of things is needed to assemble a 600hp engine.

How will the gearbox manage all those horses and the hughe torque?

The original tranny dies between 300 and 400hp...

I have to make my own.
Said and done. I bought a Z32 tranny that without swetting manage more than 1000hp.
The bellhousing was cut off and the S13 flange part was TIG welded on. A special made prop shaft and a tranny bracket was made. Thats it! OK...a short shift on top of it.

Potent engine, durable tranny...but...gripp?
How to solve this?

Bought 18" Japaneese light weight drifting rims and really good rubber.
One of the better LSD:s on the market was bought from ATS in Japan and found its place in the rear axle.
Coilovers, adjustable link/rods made of chrome molly, ball joints, swaybars...there is a long list over all modified chassie parts and upgrades.

I mounted the brakes from a Skyline, both front and rear. The brake discs got some work and the wheel hubs was exchanged to 5-bolt version to prevent the wheels from escaping during acceleration.

The interior was modified with Sparco seats, 3" 6-point belts and some more, making it able to handle and keep full control over engina data and the car handling.

It is not an easy thing to create a monster kind of car but with time and effort it is possible, but not for free. For more information, have a look on my site. There are lots of pictures, both on parts and projects.

I look forward, summer to come
`Shogun´

It has been rather unclear what ARP-studs to use for the main bearing caps on the ca18det. I made an extensive investigation and can now confirm that the kit 165-5402 is a 100% fit.

This is how I rebuilt a Z32 gearbox to fit my car (200sx S13 with ca18det).

The good thing about it is that you can reuse the nice clutch you already invested in for your S13. I have a twin disc OS Giken clutch, bought for my S13 gearbox. Both gearboxes have the same dimensions on the ingoing splined shaft, release bearing, sleave etc. This makes it an absolute fit. The gear ratio is slightly higher. My car had before a top speed of 282km/h at 7800rpm. With the ratio of the Z32 gearbox and new tyres it will make aprox. 305km/h. Hope you like it.

Clutch: Same as S13 (clutch, bearing, release sleave, starter motor, flywheel)
Weight: A bit heavier because of internal dimensions
Length: A bit shorter (reuse the yoke from the Z32 and the rear part from theS13 and make a new, longer prop shaft)
Gear ratio: A bit higher (~5%)
Shift stick: Reuse the one from Z32 or buy a new short shift
Welding in cast aluminium: You need a TIG or go to a welding shop (sand blast the weld area to make it clean and easier to weld)

Z32 original gearbox from a Twin Turbo 1994

Parts to remove to disassemble the clutch housing. Not shown are the screws on the outside (remove), attaching the cluth housing to the gearbox.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df73b588.jpg
Remove all screws around the cover and carefully lift it off

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df75f7b4.jpg
Remove both snap rings and the stopper ring

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df603a9e.jpg
Be careful not to lose any important washers or shims

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df72cb27.jpg
Important! First remove the screw, spring and ball before removing the complete interlock assembly, the ball might fall into the gearbox.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6b27a7.jpg
Before you disassemble the clutch housing of the S13 gearbox, you have to make a centering device. Use a plexi glass plate (10mm) and drill a 16mm hole in the centre, put the plate over the shaft (snug fit) and carefully drill 4 small holes exactly in the centre of the holes where the gearbox is attached to the motor. Remove the plate and carefully drill the holes just as big to get the screws in

Result

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df7a4d24.jpg
Remove the clutch housing from the ca18det S13 gearbox. It is more or less just to remove the screws on the outside of the clutch housing, remove the cover and one snap ring.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df7b56c8.jpg
Remove the snap ring under the cover

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df5e4457.jpg
Comparision between the both gearboxes. One is useless over 350-400Bhp, the other last well over 1000Bhp and more.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df77bcd7.jpg
Use an angle cutting machine and cut off the flange from the S13 gearbox ca. 50mm, take it to a machine shop and have it grinded down to 45mm. Important to get it absolutely flat and equal all around.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df64edd1.jpg
Use an angle cutting machine and cut off the flange from the Z32 gearbox ca. 40mm, throw away the flange and take the rest of the clutch housing to a machine shop and have it grinded down to 355mm. Important to get it absolutely flat and equal all around.

The prop shaft. Mount the Z32 yoke in the gearbox and the original flange on the rear axle. Measure the centre distance between the loops in the yoke and in the rear flange. Use this measure and go to your local prop shaft supplier and have him to make your new prop shaft. The shaft rotate at about 10.000rpm at max speed so it has to be dimensioned for the forces and also balanced.

Mmmm :smitten: pretty turbo... (I'm such a magpie!!) But whats the purple stuff on the inlet flange?

Since the ca18det is such a small engine and the turbo is LARGE, it is necessary to do something to improve the useable rpm-area of the ca.

It is not so visible on the outside, more on the inside.

Exhaust side:
a. The inside of the housing has been ported and polished to speed up the exhaust flow.
b. The inside has purple ceramic coating to keep temperature on the right side. Spool up much faster.
c. The heat shield between the turbine and the bearing housing has been ceramic coated to reduce heat transfer.
d. The vings of the turbine has been optimized for improved efficiency and durability.
e. The outlet has been opened up (cone shaped) to improve the exhaust gas flow.
f. The outside of the housing has been ceramic coated to reduce heat transfer to the under bonnet area and to keep up the internal exhaust gas speed

Compressor side:
a. Internally ported and polished air intake mouth to improve flow.
b. Turbine wheel is a CNC-machined ving shape, highly efficient, lightweight and very rare version.
c. Turbine wheel has sharp vings (attack angle) to "cut" the air very easy, less air resistance
d. Cone shaped outlet to give a smooth interface to the FMIC tubing
e. Lots of other things I do not know since they want to keep them secret "know how"

Shaft:
a. Strong, light weight and has some kind of special hydrodynamic oil bearings to manage the power

As a result the over all efficiency has improved massively.

Because they´re like "bronze". :)

Yes, they are ceramic coated on the top and have other measures to improove performance:

* Total-Seal Gapless Top rings
* High Heat Ceramic Coated crowns and Moly coated skirts
* Heavy Duty Wrist Pins
* Contact Reduction Grooves
* Extra valve clearance
* 8.0:1 cmpression ratio
and so on...

This is how to change the wheel studs to longer ones (not my car on some pictures)

Remove the wheels

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10deacbaef.jpg

Remove the bolts on the backside of the brake caliper (socket 17) and hang it up with a bit of wire.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10df277df0.jpg

Remove the center cover on the wheel hub with a flat screwdriver.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10df77ad27.jpg

Remove the lock pin (replace with a new one)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e0086adc.jpg

Use a pair of flat pliers, squeeze the legs together and press out the pin

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e05493a5.jpg

Remove the centre nut (socket 32). The wheel hub will start rotating, use a long bar or equal between the floor and the wheel studs to hold the wheel hub in place.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e0c9d530.jpg

When the nut is removed, take out the washer placed behind it and pull off the wheel hub

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e110cdc3.jpg

Press the old studs out. If you dont have a wise or equal, you can hammer them out.

Please try to avoid using to much force when smacking them out, every blow will make small dimples inside the bearings. If you use a small sledge hammer One firm blow is better than multiple smaller ones. Support from behind is good to save the bearings.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e1e31319.jpg

Place the new longer studs in correct position (splines). Carefully knock them in a bit. Important that the splines are correctly alligned. Use a larger socket and a wheel nut and tighten till the stud is firmly seated towards the back of the hub..

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e264f97a.jpg

Clean all surfaces and put new grease on the bearing surfaces. If you plan to use larger brake discs in the future, it is a good idea to remove the splash guard behinf the brake disc before you remount the disc.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e2b671b5.jpg

Remount the washer, nut and locking pin. Assemble brake disc and spacer.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e31f2db3.jpg

Remount the brake caliper

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e372bb73.jpg

Mount the wheels and enjoy the wider stance :D

This is the result on my car (no spacers mounted yet and Camber not adjusted). This is also before the wider fenders are mounted.

I do not want to mess around with lots of hard to reach screws and nuts so I looked around to find a good solution.

Thanks to Creatix (http://www.creatix.se) I managed to lay my hands on a bunch of really good Stainless Steel V-band clamps and flanges. They make life so much easier eliminating the hassle with aligning bolted flanges. Easy to mount and dismantle.

I will use them on the exhaust system, the down pipe, the front pipe, the two wastegates and on the turbon :)

Lots of action in the garage.
The head is improved one step further.
To eliminate fuel surge problems and fuel capacity at the track and during heavy acceleration, a surge tank is installed together with two Bosch 044 fuelpumps.

[shogun]

Included with the new Kouki lights, I got a new and longer boot lock-assembly. I do not want to have more than one key so I made a nice and easy modification.

Here is how to do it. I made a small "how to"
Enjoy.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4b67ff11de367.jpg

[shogun]

What will happen when the fuel pump in the tank will suck air instead of fuel?

This could happen when you are on the track or during heavy acceleration. The fuel is forced towards the side of the tank, away from the pump. Especially when the tank is not full.
The air will be pumped into the fuel line, onwards to the fuel rail and via the injectors into the engine.

Most of the time this will cause a noticeable decrease of power and it may also damage your engine.

To stop air entering the fuel system, a surge tank / swirl pot is a very good solution.

I have tested a couple of designs and found two really well working versions. Which one to use is mainly a question of available space. Some install it in the boot, others in the engine bay. I will put mine in the engine bay.

If it is installed in the boot, use Teflon hoses. They are more gas tight compared with ordinary steel braided hoses and will prevent the smell of fuel inside the car. They are also resistant against E85.

To connect the hoses to the surge tank / swirl pot, use AN-connections. Usual sizes like AN-6, AN-8 or AN-10.

The installation is fairly simple. Remember the high pressure pump need rather much power and should be connected over a fused relay. It is recommended to use the ordinary pump power feed as relay control signal.

Worth waiting for! They are the new, upprated version with integrated water cooling.
How small are they? I compared them with the earlier bolt on 38mm Tial WG and I can tell you. They are very small! Good! Since I do a twin installation and there isn't much space to talk about.

MV-S V2.0
This revamp features water cooling ports, three bottom air ports and two top air ports. Water ports are not required for operation, but come in handy at road racing, the top hat is close to the turbine housing/down pipe or when the engine bay doesn't get a lot of airflow. Air and Water ports are clearly marked so there is no confusion.

Sometimes the difference between big and small is very obvious :)

Today I made a major investment.

I bought a spigot bushing for a massive £5 :D

Part no. is 32202-7f401

For those not familiar with the term, the spigot bushing is a bronze sleeve bearing in the tail end of the crankshaft which carries the nose of the gearbox input shaft to provide proper alignment of the clutch disk.

Soak it in oil for a day or two before you install it. The oil penetrate the tiny holes in the bushing.

The old one is removed with a rod just a tad smaller than the inner diameter of the bushing and some ordinary grease. Fill up the hole with grease, put the rod inside the opening and tap it with a hammer a few times. The rod will press against the grease and the grease will force the bushing out. May take some harder taps if the bushing is a bit grumpy.

do the helper springs come as standard now? on my set there aren't any, but there is also naff-all droop!

I find them pretty good, although I haven't had enough seat time to get into changing the damping on them- I've been just getting used to the car so far and not got the familiarity to start changing settings around as I'll just be chasing a setup when actually it's my driving that is the thing that is varying...

[shogun]

Yes,
they come as standard. I installed them yesterday and the rear wheels are tucked in all the way down to the rim edge. In front I have to wait till the coils have settled. I left them with the tyre upper surface in line with the fenders. The coilovers can be lowered another 2-3" with the helper springs in place and if I want the ride height to go even deeper, I can remove the helpers and slam the car to the floor.

[shogun]

Coilovers installed. The front ride height is adjusted with tyre/fender in line. It will stay at this height untill the the coils have settled whereafter I will adjust them to a lovely deep level.

At the rear, the rims are in level with the fender edge.

[Jonty]

you'll have to raise that so you don't screw the geometry... for NRR it's about how it goes above how it looks; although to me it looks better higher than that anyway.

I am using my CS2s at full soft all round which is reasonably comfy on bumpy UK roads and you don't really need to go much stiffer for exclusive track use either; I think we'll end up with them set somewhere in the low to mid range on damping as it doesn't feel far off at the moment.

[shogun]

You're quite right. It is left that way for the moment sincer I didn't had time to adjust it better in the rear. Anyhow it gave a feeling about how deep it could go...and there is more to if I would like to slam it to the ground.

On the road, it wouldn't be driveable because of all speed bumps but on the high way and on track, it is a different story ;)

I am looking at installing a flat underbody and a splitter/diffuser to increase down force and also top speed driveability. It has the potential to manage more than 200mph.

The original watercooled oilcooler, mounted on the engine block under the oilfilter, is sometimes creating a problem and has to be removed. It could be a problem with the function, available space etc. In my case the reason is a heavily tuned engine with high boost pressure. This create a very high local temperature rise. Let us call it a local thermal water explosion. This local temperature rise create a high local pressure in the cooling system and this could make the original oilcooler crack and cause a water/oil leak.

There are some ways to solve this problem, this is how I chose to do it:

Original oilcooler is hidden under the intake manifold and behind the alternator.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4aec91eb33a18.jpg

Original oilcooler. It is mounted on the block with 4 bolts.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec226a91fb.jpg

Here it has been dismounted.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4a47ca15eb3f7.jpg

A close up to show how it looks behind the oilcooler. It is important to remove all trace of old gaskets and paint. The mating surface must be smooth and clean since this is the surface where the oilfilter/sandwich plate is sealing snug and tight.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4a2d28d7dd300.jpg

In the centre you can spot the original stud. This is to be dismantled (twist it out like a screw).

Original stud dismounted.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec96b2766e.jpg

In Nissan FAST software, part 15213P is found. This part is only used on engines without an original oilcooler mounted on the engine block.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec8fb38a78.jpg

It is named "Stud, oil filter" and Nissans part number according to Nissan is 15213-W040A. I have ordered one and will test it to be 100% sure it is the correct part.
The valve I will mount in the filter holder.

Stud, 15213-W040A, mounted in the block (the four bolts and the gasket shall be removed).
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec937bc384.jpg

Now you can select if you would like to use only a filter, an external oilcooler, a filter relocation kit or a combination with all of them.

I use them all.

Yesterday I was informed the new R-tyres are on their way and they should be delivered to me today. The flush fit wheel air valves have also been shipped. Soon time to get it all assembled and balanced. Exciting :)

I have that kind of valve on my other wheels too and they bring a nice touch to it.

15w-50 oil is too thick for our motors IMO. I run 10w-40 max on track with an oil cooler.

[shogun]

It turned out very well with the flush valves on the new wheels I use for the R-tyres. Pictures to be posted after next round in the garage. I will have to remember to always keep the air fill adatper in the car from now on.

When the tyres were mounted on to the rims, they had to pump them up to more than 4 Bar of pressure. It sounded like a big cannon in the tyre shop. My poor ears...I wasn't prepared at all... at least not when the first tyre went on.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4cc32dbe49121.jpg

[shogun]

Mounted some parts. It will be ok but as shown, there is lots to adjust regarding wheel alignment and I will also adjustthe track both front and rear. At the rear, there is plenty of Camber but still a slight gap between the tyre and the fender. At the front, there is also some space for adjustments. I will decide how much I want to slam the car when the coilovers have settled. The steering angle has improved with the spacers mounted on the inner tie rods.

Do those tires suck any less than regular Federal 595s?

[shogun]

Do those tires suck any less than regular Federal 595s?

Not comparable. A different league.

The Federal 595 RSR Tyre is the tyre of choice for serious track work or a road and track car.
We have been using the RSR for four years now. Our many wins in competition had a big part to play in bringing the RSR to Europe.
We use the RSR on our track cars, our drift cars, and our road cars.
For those of you that don't know the RSR, it's probably best if we compare it to the R888.
In terms of outright grip, it offers 95% of the R888's dry performance. But where the RSR really comes into it's own is as an all rounder. It has much more tread, and the V Pattern clears water extremely well. It's also a relatively quiet and comfortable tyre for road use. It heat cycles well, and I have had 11k miles on a set on my M3 including two trips to the Nurburgring, and two track days where I was pushing extremely hard.
Perhaps the thing we best love about the RSR when comparing to the R888, is that it has so much more feel on the edge of traction, allowing you to really find your limits and get the most out of your suspension setup.

Simply put. There is no better value for money for the performance. We're already seeing that it is fast becoming the tyre of choice for the Nurburgring as the surfaces ever changing conditions there really suit the Federal 595RSR's diverse handling characteristics.

[Def]

So it's like an R-comp? Don't believe we have those in the States. At least I've never seen them at the track.

[240rr]

This is an exceptional build. Your attention to detail is impeccable. Engineer? However, I am skeptical. I have heard of some high power ca18's in the past. I think there is a company in UK that had a 500hp CA, but it is the common conception that the CA block itself cannot handle much more than 400hp reliably. That, sadly, is the primary reason i abondoned my CA build. I'd like to see your build make the common conception into the common misconception about CA18DET's ;)

Good luck on your build sir.

[shogun]

Oh. We have a number of CA's here in Sweden that have more than 600hp and they run very well and durable. I think the 9sec area on the 1/4 mile is very near now.

[BeerBringer]

So it's like an R-comp? Don't believe we have those in the States. At least I've never seen them at the track.

Most people say they do not reach the performance of an R-comp.
Far from actually. It's more like Kuhmo MX and RT-615.

The Feredal FZ-201 and FZ-202 looks interesting but I have never heard anyone trying them.

[Jonty]

the guys at Driftworks say the RSR is 95% of the performance as an R888, but being the UK distributor it is understandable they see them in a positive light...

I'm hoping to do some trackdays with the guys from DW/Track Culture in the near future so I would be interested in doing a B2B with RSR/A048/R888/V70 etc... there are very few facts available with stuff like this so be good to clear it up a little bit!

Nice build up!
At a track i time attack on, the 03G is about a second faster than RE55 and the rest are behind that.

But these guys have recently performed some testing so show the new FZ201 is faster than the RSR. But not sure on it's compound-soft med or hard.
This is their latest post i could find.http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=442286&st=0&p=5742418&hl=federal%20s14%20rsr%20595&fromsearch=1&#entry5742418

Their website with some more times. http://www.option1garage.com.au/Option1Cars.htm

To put that into some perspective the 57.2 at QR is a very fast time. My best is 56.7 and i did that 18 months ago, but my car is still currently the fastest S series chassis out there. I use a hard compound Dunlop 03G. My car also has ~+50kW and is full weight

At last, a major problem has been solved.
Earlier I used Aeromotive fuel filters with 10 micron filter elements and they blocked up very fast due to the small filter housings. I had to install filter elements with a coarser mesh and I did not feel particularly well about it.

Thanks to Creatix (www.creatix.se) I got hold of much larger and very hearty AEM filters that remove all particles down to 7 microns without being blocked. Very good!

They also flow through a proper amount of fuel. How about 2800 liters/h at 3.1 bar :D I like!
