`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“

What's your feedback about these LSD's?

thanks i think they are lower now, found on ebay for just under 400£!!

What's your feedback about these LSD's?

It's about the best LSD you can get. Very quick lock up and no weakening due to the massive size and numbers of discs. If you plan to get one you'd better not forget the special bolts. The assembly holes (where the crown wheel is attached to the LSD flange) are bigger than standard holes and therefore special bolts are supplied from ATS. The bolts have a wider diameter in the hole area and normal diameter at the threaded area.

They are Puma Trionfo.
Perfect to use at the track or on the strip since they roll over the heal and are slim in width.

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

Disassemble the clutch housing (Z32)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df5ccd53.jpg
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

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df79149e.jpg
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.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6cdd30.jpg
Both parts after grinding, cleaning and reattaching the clutch housing on the Z32 gearbox

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df79149e.jpg
Put the S13 flange snug to the Z32 clutch housing and attach the centering plate with four screws

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df71929e.jpg
Top view. Important to align and rotate them like on the picture

If you do not own a TIG-welding machine, you go to the machine shop again and have it carefully welded together, both from the outside and the inside

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img483da0680add2.jpg

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6664d9.jpg
Reuse the shift stick bracket from the Z32 gearbox. You have to cut out some small triangles from it, bend it to a Z-shape to fit the S13 under body and then weld the cut outs together. (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df704a7b.jpg
The new short shift

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df7c606e.jpg
A small change of shift stick position compared to the original (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6a6c29.jpg
A plate to cover the hole at the shift stick (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df678dbb.jpg
A bracket to hold the gearbox in place (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df62dac6.jpg
Aligning the gearbox with the rear axle. Put a steel tube in the gearbox, aim it towards the centre of the rear axle flange and find the final position of the gearbox bracket. (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df61a201.jpg
Side view (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df74bf2f.jpg
Front view (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df76f1b7.jpg
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.

I really like your work shogun :) I have been watching your threads with interest...

The only thing I am cringing at is the vertical scratching on your bores, it may not look like much, but be very careful, don't assume that the bed in process will even those out..

I have experienced a similar scenario, whereby those little scratches that seem insignificant at the time became 20 thou deep ruts after a couple of months and significant blow by and oil burn occurred...

I would hate for you to have issues in a few months time after the amount of time, effort and dollars you have put in...

Cheers mate and keep it up :)

Thanks mate. I have been looking at your project aswell.

Don't worry about the "scratches", they are only oil scraped away from the cylinder walls by the piston rings. Some other tiny marks come from the micrometer used to measure the final measurement during the honing process.

I had lots of fun with it and did heavy modifications on it to gain power and reduce weight. Now it is back in the states again and in the hands of a very happy owner. Last I heard about it was that it made great times on the strip and has won quite a lot.

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.

Since the rear bars also influence the position of the complete cage, I can not say exactly where it land but so far it has no issues with the door pockets.

The bar/dash is about 1-2 cm appart.

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 :)

the valve guides are genuine??

shogun
03-02-2010, 05:23
Yes they are.

To be able to do a very good port job on the head, I wanted to have good access to the area around the Valve Guides. I took the old guides out. Another reason to replace them:

The Valve Guides are mado from Phosphor Bronze (Cn-Sn-P alloy). It is highly tensile and has superior heat transferring ability which is vital in high power and high RPM outputting engines.

The Phosphor Bronze material has exceptionally lower friction and the best possible clearances can be maintained which will in effect reduce stress on the valve train, prevent seizures and cracking under high stress loads.

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.

Actually, I told you the provisional date, which has changed, its now early August.

The post in members section .....


Well, it comes that time again that we start to think about TOTB.

I'll be the team captain again and will do my best to pick a fair and varied team for all the disciplines, and think we could have our best year and largest team ever! There are so many great cars being built. Team criterai below.

Last years thread
http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=387312

However this year it will also be a 2 day event with camping and RWYB for drag/handling the day before also. So a great weekend out for everyone, you can come and play the day before and prove that I was wrong and I should have picked you instead :smash:

The tickets are well priced if bought through the club, we will also have a club stand, Free BBQ/Car-B-Q for members etc so you wont have to buy over-priced burgers on the day making it even better value!


Hi Kev,

Will the 200 SX Owners Club be having a prence at Ten of The Best this year. The event is running over the weekend of 7th and 8th August 2010.

There will also be an opportunity to enter Run Wot Ya Brung on Saturday on a handling circuit as well as the drag strip. I think you need to make enquiries in advance to do this as places are limited. One winner from the handling and drag strip will be given a golden ticket to race with the Best of the Best on Sunday.

Tickets for entry on to Elvington Airfield are bought at a reduced rate in advance and you would need to let me know how many you need for your Club members. Prices are:

One Day Entry Ticket £12
Two Day Entry Ticket £20
Wkend Ticket £30 includes entry into camping area

Let me know as soon as you can if you intend to display as a club and take advantage of reduced rate tickets.

Info for the team, and extra consideration this year will also be 200's with a 200SX engine. If its very close between two people, I'll pick the car "most 200".

To be honest it really hasnt mattered at all over the past few years, the team has always picked itself with only a handful of cars being race ready at picking time.

I do think we can feild 8-10 cars, running a few off my head ...
Ken
Jez
Bren
Me
800BHP
Phil Morrison
.....and I hear Bigtone is rebuilding ...

We are only a boat trip for the likes of Shogun/Mobe to come over from Sweden

Please dont be offended if I havent listed YOU, just put your name forward and do things to push your car onto the list. For drag you really need to be aiming under 12 secs for sure, for topspeed - thats a little harder to judge but is mainly down to power, that leaves handling so you have to be doing trackdays or better still sprint events to show you have the car and driver to compete.

Re-posting the team picking speil... we should have 8-10 this year


[2008] TOTB 7 - Show of hands please
After the best SXOC showing for a while last year we have been offered more spots for 2008.

To be honest guys I'm reluctant to ask for more than 5

Last year we only had 4/5 actually take part, and that was good for our past history.

We did however mange 2 3rd places, BigTone clocking some insane top speed and placing superbly, and I did ok myself on the handling.

So, who is SERIOUS about TOTB 7 ?


Think about it carefully please, and make sure the answer to all the questions is YES.

1) My car has worked recently, works now, or will work very shortly.
2) My car is to a high spec for at least 1 of the 3 disciplines tested on the day, or will perform all round.
3) I am reliable and would be proud to represent the club.

Please don't post if you only expect your standard car to have 8000bhp by then once you have dropped in the rolls royce jet engine, and not actually have something tangible with some proof to back up the claims on 1/4 mile, top speed or handling capabilities of your car.


The top speed this year will be 1km, not 1 mile.
Too many cars doing 200mph I think its 3 years since it was dropped from 1.25miles to a mile for the same reason.


This I posted last year is still valid


TOTB team selection will be on the following factors, not in any order

* Overall car performance
* Team Diversacy
* Proven Reliable car
* Familarity of format / competition in general

Thanks pal,

the lock was provided with the kit as an original part. Nissan sell them since the Kouki kit is an oem package.

You can also move the lock a bit outwards by using some washers. Just remember to seal off the gap/opening with some rubber/sealant.

Picked up my new Tial waste gate valves from Svensk Turboservice yesterday. They came straight from the Tial assembly line in the USA.

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.

(mine are silver/aluminum coloured).

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.

Thanks mate

It was in the car from the start and I have owned it more than 12 years now.
I started tuning it from day one and took it in steps.

Some years ago I decided to go all the way and that is where it is today.


Thanks you 2 MC lost and AJ
