HUGE DAY possibly the biggest dyno day on record certainly for us. Anyone been to a bigger one?

Adam great job and not easy hey. Big well done. Most enjoyed the day and some thought our air fuel ratio was lean and then some rich so not consistent either way, so guess it is right. We did have the odd problem with air temp sensor which had a dicky plug new one ordered a few weeks back and arrived today, bit late. The inlet temp reading went through the roof, like 150c and so dyno compensated and gave a few rare cars huge power so rerun and all were right in the end. Some cars pinging whether customer wanted to believe it or not. Some only slight and one R32 GTR fairly stock pinging quit a lot and running lean so could save his engine by coming this day. We would have liked some time to do some demo's and before and after but I think over all a great day. Beer Baron you consistent jocularity would ahve been welcome on the day as always.

It actually WAS strapped down when it did that, then they decided to strap it a bit tighter.

In the first place I had to ask Ben about 6 times to strap it down

Ben is a great mechanic and tuner not so friendly. He was also under immense pressure mentally and physically and takes his work very pationatley and serious. I have had or tried mech's who are talkative and super friendly but don't do good workand shoud be in sales.

Makes a good story I guess. You told us it was stock 6 times so are we supposed to be mind readers or interrogate customers more?? It takes longer to strap cars down and if we strapped all down would not have got through 50 cars. Your car was impressive especially with stock air box which is testimony that ram pods are not needed. There are much lower powered GTR's have ram pods and have the noise and sucking hot air.

Adrian I have never seen NOS on dyno before and that damaged me and messed with my mind as SO IMPRESSIVE. Instant power and no lag and more power everywhere.

Thought someone could have brought something along to beat my zed, he he...

Will do it again in about a years time give us some time to recover. It will only be bigger and better.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
