Whoa guys, leave and come back to this, I have much respect for hi-tech

I think you will find that different dynoes(eg ones on floors compared to

ones that sit up on ramps) is the difference in strapping, not the individual

person. You can strap a car a lot tighter when the dyno is on ramps .No ones fault, just different setups.

Yeah mate. Ive worked out the numbers and if I 'upgraded' it would leave me living off rice and soy sauce for a few months+years which I dont want to do. That and the fact that at the state the current market is in, my 'line wont be worth much thus rather keep it. I want to drift it someday as well, hehehehe. Care to join me on that venture...?
I'm in the same boat, just can't see much point in upgrading while prices are in such a free fall, whether i can justify spending money on my current car though is questionable.

Maybe RB25 turbo, try using your rb20det exh. housing on it to lower spool slightly and call it a day?

Even still the RB20's running 1bar, tuned ecu go pretty damn well. Underestimated. :(

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
