    Rb Engine Track Work Temp.

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    For the guys who are running their cars up to 100 ° or more I'd be making sure you have a way to monitor knock levels.

    Not all tuners account for temps this high and you could be knocking when approaching these temps.

    I know it's not the most accurate gauge but using the knock sensor on my pfc, and first few laps at around 80° knock levels about 10-20. Temp usually gets up to 85-90° knock is around 20-35 but if it's a hot day and the temps get to 95° knock levels start to get to 50-70 and I will have to do a cool down lap or two.

    How do you know that the guy wasn't in a hurry for some kind of emergency? Its pretty simple... The right lane is for overtaking, and if someone comes up behind you just move over... Don't get the shits that someone is going faster than you and slow down and block them with a truck and then come on a forum whinging about it...

    not much to update really.... went drifting on the weekend in 36 degree heat... had to do a cooldown lap every few laps to stop it overheating.

    Was having a few dramas with the power steering overheating as well.

    That said I was one of the few cars that was still drivable untill the end of the day.

    Next few things to do are:

    - Subframe mods (Solid flush bushes to raise it and welded reinforcements to make it stronger)

    - Power steering cooler.

    - Soon ill have to start the dreaded job of sound deadening removal in preparation for the cage.

    Ill keep you guys updated as things happen...

    Yeah I thought they looked weird as well when I put them in but then I sat in them and they are perfect. The rails were made to sit the seats as low as possible...both the front and back of them are as low as you can get them before hitting the floor.. and it still feels a bit high. I've got clearance for my head with a helmet but I think I'm gonna struggle to fit the front legs on the cage and still have room for my head.

    R33 Surging When Turning Tight Corners.

    So I have got a locker in my R33 and it has always had this problem but it is getting worse so I think something else is going on here.

    When I turn a tight corner the car surges forward and back really badly, its also heaps worse when turning left than right.

    I have had lockers in a few other cars and never experienced this... usually the inside wheel just skips a bit.

    Im thinking there are some worn bushes or subframe mounts or something... any ideas?

    Ohh and since the last update I have also added a set of BC BR coilovers and some DBA Club spec slotted rotors and project mu pads. Makes a world of difference.

    Also just ordered a set of Bride Vios III seats and rails which should be here anyday. Now all thats left for me is to put a cage in, swaybars, get more steering lock and then do some cosmetics.

    Im thinking of doing a 34 GTR front end conversion and 33 GTR rear overfenders.

    man I think the whole "you need a rediculously expensive cooler to make big power" arguement is a load of bs...

    Just have a look at the RB30's coming out of Maatouks with chinese intercoolers making redicuolus power and running low 6 sec passes.

    Pretty much shuts up all the non believers.
