Guilt-Toy

cheers mate, allways keen to try new things! Yes i used to get 380 to 450km's to a tank with BP98 depending how i drove it. I came up with a magical number in my head when making up the map in datalogit on my pc at home which was spot on, and its no way near double then what it was, but i will say it is more then 25% consumption.

another thing i noticed is that the car is idleing properly, it ALLWAYS missed at idle. Now its just purring like kitten.

Made my way to the United servo at Rozelle after work this arvo, first getting confused and stopping at the United at Drummoyne i realised i was at the wrong place lol.. kept going down victoria road and just after the bridge there she was. I took pics but my stupid ghey phone keeps getting the pics corrupted so sorry maybe next time when i am there. Anyway firstly the guy comes out from the store and says "no you cannot use this" i told him yes i can, and its ok and he said no you cant this for special cars.... So i said to him that i am a tuner and i have it all under control, he then asks me if the car is modified.. after telling him that i can run this fuel he says "if you use this the engine could get damaged" ok mate.... So filling up, was weird seeing the 2 numbers on the bowser stay sooo close to each other... the litres and dollars reminded me of a few years ago. $62 filled up the tank!!! and it was on the E line. So i start the car, it starts (still got some bp 98 and she starts properly) by the time i press F1 on the datalogit to connect to the ecu the car starts running like a bag of shit, barely staying alive. So i go to file and open, and open the .dat file that i created the night before where i guessed the car should run to get me to move it out of the servo and to the side of the road to begin the long night ahead of me i had planned tuning it to be right, after clicking OK the engine just comes back to life and purrs like a kitten, the LAMBDA goes from 1.3 to 0.95 almost instantly and so does the smile across my face The next test was a rev, so i give her a rev, expecting a big lumpy rev of missing cyl's instead i hear the normal roar of the rb30 engine, then the smell of the exaust comes through the window, hmmmm that smells interesting, kinda like the smell of oil in a fry pan thats been sitting there after a few days of being used. I take off out the driveway and down the road, lambda is sticking at about .98 to 1.02 the whole time, not a miss or a cough or a struggle in sight. I was very pleased with myself, my guess tunes are getting pretty accurate these days. On the way home i pulled over and chucked on my newly aquired Gizzmo KMON, loaded the software and put my head phones on, got some weird looks from people but at this stage i was too excited to care, i jumped into the timing map, highlighed the whole map and gave her a whole 10deg timing over the whole scale. Set the gizzmo to record and went for a drive, car felt more responsive then before, felt like boost was commin on quicker, played back the quick drive and the knock did not go over 14, which is quite low for my RB30DET, so up goes another 10 deg over the whole map, i adjusted the idle back down 20deg, went for a drive and she is more responsive again! I could not believe it! I was kinda thinking on the way home maybe the fuel i got is not e85, because i was thinking it cannot be that easy to convert over, untill i looked at the thermocouple EGT sensor and noticed exaust gas temps are down by a fair amount... ok it must be the real deal. I noticed the cruise ign maps were set to 55deg so i dropped them down to around 48 to 50 in some parts and came home. I walked to the back of the car and gave the exaust a quick whiff, it smells weird... more so like heated air then anything else, it seems very very clean.... I also noticed the exaust note sounded deeper and tougher, I am not sure why this happened. So my conclusion is, BRING ON E85, I will dyno the sucker this weekend at newcastle, will fill up again on thursday night and fill up with the 20 litre container i have sittin in the back of the car incase i run out, Getting ready for my emissions test on the 15th of october.. I would still LOVE to try the im240 with no cat converter but lets see what happens first before i go pulling off some tests like that. Next test will be the cold start in the morning when i go to work!

how did it go ?? power level at autosalon ???

hehehee i once put 22deg timing on 22psi in one of those motors, damn it went hard! Yup. i told him what he needs to do. Hopefully he sorts it out soon.. once you fix it you will love the power, will feel like a different car!

i use this for tuning ALL the time. You need a wire, (i use speaker wire) there are 2 Wide band outputs on the techedge, wire the first one to AN1 and the second one to AN2. once you do this you need to set all the ticks in logging in the monitor page, then go to setup the wide band and put in the settings, available on techedge site (cannot remember but i think 0 volts is 9aft and 5v is 20afr or was it the other way around ?) double check. then add a watch for wide band AN1 / AN2 and it should work works a treat! if you have dramas let me know il help you sort it out.

the car is laggier then a CB70 with a GT3582r on it and it still pulls like a train (after 6000 rpm) (CB70 is the charade 3 cyl 1 litre twin cam engine) Its got to be the actuators! Also the boost sol is on the intake side and its using a spaghetti style hose system to go around the back of the engine to the front of the car. I suggested these 2 things. 1: buy some HKS actuators and install them 2: move the sol to the turbo side of the engine This should fix the car up, i estimate its only got 240 - 260kw atm. I think trying to diagnose the problem may be a waste of time, you need to get those actuators replaced asap ! once this happens your turbos will have no choice but to make boost. You can try and get 2 springs, wire them on the wastegate holding them shut firmer... if the car makes more boost (becuase the spring is holding more load on the wastegate) then you know your actuators are shot. just a tip

Best price for engine is $1,100. rock bottom price, no other rb25det will ever go this cheap !

i invested in one of these, thanks for getting it to me sooo quickly Trent!! looks good

14.4

ahhhh i love beer baron.. where would SAU be without his posts.

No

WTF??? Photochoped

i will do it.. i am at ryde. phone me 0412417579. ohhh for free. or a six pack of pure blonde if you have to give me a excuse to drink

please invest in a better ecu. the RB gods will love you for it and look apon you favourably.

if you dont change the ecu, chances are that you will destroy the engine.

Speechless. sorry. got nothing else to say.

must add something to this too, the quality of the manifold is second to none. someone will get a awesome setup.. gl with sale

it does not work. i gave up on it months back.

what happened to the car harry?

threads like this make me want to cry.. "don't cry for me RB engine" the truth is your life is over.

i think the front end is sold. I am def not keen to post it. i just cannot possibly do it. sorry guys. Surely someone wants a nice cheap RB25DET ? i know im going to regret selling this later!

has the Autosalon happened yet ?

i wish the day would hurry up and end so i can go home to watch this!
