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

It makes sense to not bother with forged internals etc. Look how he did with a stock motor. For most people you could go a little conservative compared to what he's getting and be happy for many years!! Unless you are after huuuuge no's that aren't street useable. Good luck with the next stocker..

Rb30 block would be nice

Thread revival from hell!

The pistons are all perfect, they have a bit of carbon build up but not excessive. The ring lands are all perfect, and the crowns show no signs of detonation either.

The reason why it was low on compression...... bend rod!! Hah

I don't know if this is meaningful input to this but I was running 400rwhp from a T04e (.56 trim, .84 a/r P trim) for around 6 months, till I put on this Holset HX35/40. Now I'm running 1.5 bar (22psi) and I haven't dyno'd it yet, but it's at least 70-80hp faster measured with my super accurate butt dyno :laughing-smiley-014: . I've never even had the valve covers off the motor (except to paint them), stock HG, cams, intake manifold, TB, etc. I really think it's all in the tune--and I'm running around 12.1-12.3:1 air fuel with ex temps around 800-850c at the highest.

Nice going.

Mine's still kicking. I'm full HX40 (19cm ex housing) which is a 69lb/min compressor at 1.7 bar, now with 264 cams, 1.2mm HG, RB26 ITB's, and still the same stock bottom end. We still don't have a dyno anymore on island (well, it's still there, but they won't run it--it's a dynojet anyways). I ran out of Z32 MAF a LONG time ago, so we moved it to 100mm piping. I've got 860cc no name injectors that are sitting just over 70% duty cycle with a/f's right around 12:1. You can do the math on that. I run with some of the faster 2wd guys here on the island with built RB26's and smaller T88's (in S13's), but I think they have a pretty rich/retarded tunes judging by the fireballs they shoot and the fact I'm hanging with them.

The guy that owns the shop I hang out at put a Holset HX52 (90lb/min) on his stock bottom end RB25 with a completly built head (solid lifter, tomie everything biggest cams they make for the 25, yada yada) and he stopped turning up the boost at 1.5 bar because he was tickling 95% injector duty cycle on 740's. He also just had his twin plate start slipping on him, so we haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet.

I can't remember if it was this thread or the other where somebody was questioning the hp guesses I was making with my old set up due to my 122mph trap speeds (with full weight--subs, full interior, random crap in the trunk, etc.), so I won't make any here. I'll see if I can get the Gtec from my buddy again and get some new trap speeds, but I spin even in 3rd on 275 nittos, so I think that's skewing my speeds a good bit.

*edit--I do is 4-5 quarter mile'ish runs a week on average with the occasional playing around in the twisties, so I'm not road course racing it all the time like a lot of you guys. That might help longevety.

"Holset HX50-55

For engines of 10 to 15 litres capacity the Holset HX50 and HX55 are specified on some of the world's premium rated heavy-duty engines at up to 470 bhp. "

funny..

Those displacement and hp figures are on diesel engines spinning to 3k rpm max. A good ballpark firgure for diesel turbo to gasoline application is mulitply by 2 :D

If you have any doubts about holset turbo's on gasoline engines, google "holset DSM" for a wealth of info specifically on guys running them on 4G63's (Evo motors). This thread is about what RB25's will do though, and not holset turbos, so I don't want to sidetrack the thread to much going on about them. PM me or start a new thread if you want to go into them further.

I believe you, I just thought it was a chuckle.

my god LNEMUP has some temper issues. so many ppl giving decent input and saying nice work and all he did was get the shits.

That's not ALL he did. LOL! Don't know how long before we hear from him again. I don't think they have many computers there.

    • 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.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
