JHH rb26/30

u wont be disappointed :)

talkin to john this arvo when i picked the engine up, he said he did a 26/30 for a 2wd skyline, and he said at 500hp on the dyno, it was breaking traction :)

LoL yeahhhhh I know about that car. My mechanic is the guy that does all the other work on it (guy next door to Johns). Its the ONLY car he has ever been scared to drive, and hes happy to drive old mates 11sec rvr, the old arsespeed soarer (which used to get to half track then they booted it and it went sideways) etc.

There is a bit more to that story too. When it was first done which was over 5 years ago or something now, it was breaking traction on the dyno as you say at 500hp (Daniel says 400hp but hey its a story bigger is better!), thing is that was only at about 5000rpm :). From memory the guy used to always have super tough V8s. So he did all the normal super tough V8 type build work on it, with the 2 turbos...

That or as I say Subi.

I'm thinking of being an active member of SAU Queensland and attending stuff but i dont have a skyline and i dont have my licence back till December.

And i don't know how comfortable i will be at your regular dinners. He he he I'm not really a big people person :D

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
