    Random Stalling

    I have a very peculiar issue with my car at the moment.

    On Christmas day, I was driving home and coming up a large Hill when suddenly my car stopped accelerating and slowly came to a halt. I thought possibly I was low/ran out of fuel, so luckily it rolled into a fuel station. I slapped $20 in, started her up and away I went for about 500m when the same thing happened again. That is, the car is accelerating and driving normally, then all of a sudden all engine power instantly disappears and the car comes to a stop (dash lights/stereo etc. continue to function as normal). After about ten minutes of trying to start/letting it sit, she started up again and I managed to get her home.

    Thinking it was something electrical, I went over the entire wiring loom and came across a couple of minor things that seemed unlikely to be the cause, but I gave it a go. I took her out again and she was fine. Couple of weeks later I did a track day. Car took a beating and handled it like a Queen all day (a hot day too). Coming home, and this time up a different but steep hill, the exact same thing happened again. I let her cool down for about 30 minutes (as she refused to start) and once cool she fired up and I got home.

    Have barely driven the car since, but these are the symptons:

    - car loses all engine power instantly
    - seems to happen after a long drive when car is warm
    - only seems to happen when coming up hills
    - does not appear to be electrical

    It is tough to replicate the failure as it only seems to happen coming up hills. However, the couple of times I have got it to re-occur, I have checked lift and fuel pump and watched fuel pressure gauge. My old man believes it is possibly the fuel pump (current 044 is quite noisy), but as I said, difficult to diagnose as it happens so randomly.

    Fuel set up is pretty simple: tank > filter > lift pump > swirl pot > 044.

    I have replaced the lift pump and checked the pick-up, but all appear OK. It has done it one more time after a long cruise, whilst driving along the freeway (and not up a hill) and on a relatively cool day. Fortunately though it came back to life after about three seconds and I made it all the way home.

    Some people have suggested ECU connection, CAS and fuel pump. Any thoughts are appreciated. Cheers.

    Hi

    I've got a full engine I'd like to sell including all accessories to drop into car. Would prefer to sell as one, but will to seperate if there is enough interest for all parts. Genuine reason for sale - engine has only been in car for 930kms since build, but an engine combo I've been wanting for a long time has come up and have to get my hands on it. Engine can be heard in car, and I can pass on details of engine builder. Also have most receipts.

    Previous engine (before rebuild - identical set up) ran 11.4 @ 120mph, 2.1 sixty foot in 1,600kg car. Car was only running 340rwhp @ 16psi and was on street tyres. Never got the chance to take it down on full tune (later made ~400rwhp @ 18psi) with slicks, but obvious it would run a ten.

    Would like to get rid of everything ASAP. Going to drop a fully sick V8 into the old girl. Dont flame on price, if you think its overstated, make an offer. Ive just listed a nearby price as per forum requirements.

    Can hear engine running - happy to go for a drive.

    The Automatic Performance Thread

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted · Edited by cactus

    Well went down to the Nostalgia Drags at the Perth Motorplex on Sunday... a 1pm start time wasn't the best for the car (considering the 36 degree heat) but it was still a good day. I had the car set-up to get my ANDRA licence (tailshaft loop, harness, isolator switch etc.), but when I got down there, for some very stange reason my race slicks and mags were rubbing on the guards - even though I have used the exact same tyres/mags in the past!

    Anyways, car was pretty good all day considering I was only running the street tyres. Recorded my best time around 6pm when it had cooled down a little - 11.5 @ 121 mph, unfortunately street tyres only allowed 2+ second 60 foot time (I think it was around 2.1 - 2.2 seconds). This is with the car running around 350rwhp @ 15psi. Had planned on getting it tuned to 20psi the week prior, but didn't get my shit together in time.

    Was a good fun day. Really want to break a 10 though (which I am very confident it will do once I get the slicks and some boost into it).

    it doesnt work without an oil feed. the solenoid simply feeds oil into a section of the cam which causes it to advance 20 degrees, no oil feed means no vct

    Well mine does, and so do a few others I know of - has been checked by three workshops and an engine builder.

    But I'm not going to argue with you about it (moreso the fact I don't fully understand why it is working, but it was the engine builder who did the modification without the feed knowing that it would still work).

    Cams Help

    Looking into hyper gear threads this power is achievable with the turbo that i have mentioned at that boost. Also i did mention using a built auto ( shift kit ) etc with the stall etc. so anyone commenting please read the whole thread :)

    We did read your thread - a shift kit and a stall is not a built auto. Its an auto with a shift kit and a stall. Good luck making 300rwkw with your stock auto.

    And good luck getting 300kw through a stock auto with just a hi stall (sounds more like a more-stall to me though). If you are seriously aiming for that sort of power (which I doubt it will make through an auto) you'll need a built box! Look into KEAS gear - or even MV autos in SA.

    My Diy Attempted Rb25\30 Build - Is Running But There Are Some Issues

    in RB30 conversions

    Posted

    One thing I would also check ..

    When you do the ARP bolts up, make sure they are not bottoming out. When I first put ARP studs into my built 25 (and my now RB30DET), I had to use two washers on each stud because they were too long. Yes - quite strange, but it was two different sets of studs and did the same thing each time.

    The only way I spotted this was when I had finished building the motor, and put in all coolant/oil, it was up on the hoist and I noticed water dripping from between head and block :( was devestated!

    Standard Cam's Vs Pon Cams

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Its a built RB30 - GT35R (.82r), 6boost, 550cc, GReddy type intake, 80mm TB and the usual bits n pieces. Also didnt mention that we didnt bother playing with adjustable gears, so still set at 0 (possibly more power to pick up from this).

    Response improved slightly, but the mid-range is where I saw massive gains. Makes stupid hp @ 5000rpm and was still making power at 7500rpm (didn't want to push any harder). Will try get a graph up later tonight.

    Not to disagree with Guilt-Toy, as he is very experienced and knows what he is talking about...

    But on my RB30DET - I went from stock cams and 340rwhp (built auto with stall), to the Tomei pon-cams 256 and 8.5 lift (had them measured and yes its odd) and 400rwhp with 2psi less boost. Also ran 11.6 on street tyres (2.3 60 foot).

    Best upgrade I've made :)

    My Dyno Run

    in Western Australia

    Posted

    Its Ovaboost - dyno reads rediculously low. My RB30DET made 320rwhp on that dyno @ 17psi (big auto), but still managed to run an 11.7 with a 2.2 60 foot time. I wouldnt be too worried about the number (assuming its a relatively stock motor). Mick is an awesome tuner.

    Rb25 Poncam Install Problem

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    This is probably one of the most common mistakes people make when getting Poncams.

    I know its a bit misleading to some, the way Tomei have worded the description for Series 1 and Series 2.

    So here is what you need to know for future reference:

    All RB25DET motors with the metal CAS and built up to 9/97 will need the Series 1 Poncams (p#/020)

    All RB25DET motors with the plastic CAS and built after 9/97 will need the Series 2 Poncams (p#/050)

    That is strange. I have a series 2 RB25 in my HQ and I purchased the series 2 Tomei pon-cams and they matched up to the metal CAS fine...

    that s what people say when they ve never been in a big turbo car........

    This thread is getting f**king retarded...

    You're obviously here to argue and not take on some of the advice/info being provided to you from some very knowledgable people, so why bother starting the thread? Stick to your fully sick Honda's and your 'monster' 400hp and continue to be envious of our Aussie built RB's :(
