The only reason why something went wrong is i tried pumping more boost into it

if i left it it would of lasted it went fine till now until that

Im sorry Jason, but you cant say that.

It didnt last, because it died. How/why it died is irrelevant. Fact is you cant say it lasted any loner than the 6-7 month trial.

When a stock motor pumps out 470rwhp for 2-3 years. Then you'll get closer to being able to claim reliable.

Many people have made big power. Many have not lasted long enough.

The average punter wouldnt class a year, or even 1.5 years reliable for a motor. I certainly wouldnt.

When i see a 550rwkw RB26/30 going after what, 3 years after street/massive circuit. Thats well on the way to a reliability claim.

And you can see that theres nothing wrong with pistons rods etc

Umm, again. You can see the tops of the pistsons. Wow.

The rods havent been tested, crank hasnt been tested. Need i go on?

Just looking at it with the naken eye is hardly decent proof or information that there is "nothing wrong"

550rwkw is a hell of alot of power, that's mid to low 9's territory. Are you sure that a circuit car is capable of that kind of power and uses it constantly on the circuit? Even the drag cars that make that kind of power have a relatively short lifespan, and have constant maintenance despite living for short 10 second squirts and dyno pulls. Not to mention that traction would put the car out of being competitive, well lack of traction anyway. And it would take an SPL or larger to make that power. The list goes on...

Hey my point is everyone has an opinion, and everyone is going to have a different view on things. At least give credit to Jason for

1/ Having a go with it

2/ Being upfront and direct about what is happening.

He could have not posted anything and quietly thrown another stock motor in, although I'm sure that different people would have approached this whole thread in a different manner.

At the end of the day it's another Skyline out there running, and be thankful that you didn't have to fork out anything to see the results... except maybe 10 hours of your life reading this ;)

I totally agree. Good on him for getting out there and loosing the attitude. I think ive said he deserves credit for the efforts already somewhere.

To go and make claims based on limited testing i think is dangerous for less informed forum users who can often be swayed very easily by threads such as this.

Im very pissed off at the moment

My race engine Has SNAPED a valve UNDER THE COLET AND RETAINER DROPING THE VALVE Bending it smashing the Head and Putting a hole through a New forged piston which has done 15 mins work of running in on the dyno.So much for a Race motor lasting.This just proves that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN with any motor.I have organised a New Piston and Head for now.I carnt believe it happened.

I carnt blame the people who setup the Head either as SHIT happens.But still couldnt believe what i seen

Ill post photos tomorrow but looks like someone got a nail gun and shoot the Valve through the piston.

f**kEN GETS ME ANGRY AFTER 4 NIGHTS OF 16 HOUR SHIFTS OF WORK but yeah shit happens and like i said before Anything can happen so yeah

Anyways Thanks chris :P Ill talk to you soon or you comming down

Shit can and does happen. :D

I wasn't going to post in this thread but... I feel like it. :P

It seems to me that the point of this thread and the exercise was to push the standard RB25 as far as it can go to see what the limits are.

He pushed it, he found the limits. His opinion therefore is that if he repeated the experience but stopped just before that last step that blew the motor, it would still be happily running and be an advertisment for what can be done with a stock RB25.

How much longer it would have lasted without that last step we will probably never know because he probably doesn't feel like doing it again for our benefit.

As mentioned above, that kind of power level comes with reliability sacrifices, no matter if it's a stock engine or a built one.

ps, the comment about heat in number 6 - I think the theory is that the extra 4% fuel in that cylinder should make it run a little cooler.

yeah

went BACKWARDS

did make no more power

To me the max power was made @ 18 psi

Any more was a waste.I think i should have backed the boost down earlier but i said who cares if it goes it goes and it did.

I wanna continue on this but need another motor cheap

i wanna try a NEO motor out if someone has a motor Minus Manifolds ETC just the bare motor with minimal KMS

while im waiting for my new engine head to come back.

May look a little rough from the top.. But take the piston out and see if it looks anything like this??

And yes its number 6 piston from a Rb25 >_<

mmmm cracked and melted. Your username is somewhat appropriate lol.

A mate has a neo with low compression in no.3. Dunno if that's any use to you.

Yep he contact me

i just wanna know if its a head gasket or what

how many kms is on it

if its all good im getting it

i wanna crack a 9 with a standard motor.While im waiting for the new parts to come in AGAIN that is

Edited by MR331307

I think you should fix the problem you had with the motor you made 591hp and 10.8 cause it's not your everyday rb25.... i really think it was a freak motor and dont think you will be able to do it again with another standard donk thats just insane amounts of power.....

lol

We will have to wait and see

is that a dare is it

anyways if all goes well ill pickup a standard motor in 2 days and

be back there next week

if not

then yeah we will never know and just have to wait for my new motor

And ill post picks of WHY it lost COMP tomorrow

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
