wow, I wonder what that would equate to in the 1/4.............judging by the official, he obviously thinks a 10?!

Did you drive it there or trailer it?

about 10.4-10.5 sec 1/4mile @ about 134MPH.

I took it on a trailer, i smashed a gearbox a couple of weeks ago, so didnt want to get stuck there.....

Raced today at Whyalla, ran 6.8 sec @ 170KM/H don the 1/8 mile., Got told by the ANDRA official i need a cage if i want to race there again....

The only other turbo car at the meet today was a new VW turbo

I ran a 10.61 at 133mph on 19psi with the 1/8 at [email protected] your moving!!!

good work, makes me laugh at what a fast car was not that many years ago (110mphish over a 1/4)

that now you do it at half track, ha,ha

cheers

Hey Darren,

My car does gets moving once it gets traction, i need some better tyres, was just running my daily $150 17"tyres, couldnt get the best start

Yeah i remember a few years back in my VL turbo ran 12.6 @175kmh at AIR 1/4mile, i thought it was fast to get 170kmh in 400m, now im doing 170kmh in 200m.

what sort of RWKW did you have to run the 10.6, and the 10.2?

10.6 don't know?? 390rwkw??, and the 10.2 around 440-50rwkw to run 141mph.

it made 470rwkw , but unfortuntely had a boost leak, should trap 143mph with that

in full street trim.

It's easy 9 sec mph, I only hooked the transbrake up before i left

and left the wires on the ground, i pulled them out with my feet accidently at the track so

it didn't work, got it working again when i got home, so next time get to use that to get the boost up to

15psi to launch, instead of 7-8psi on the footbrake.

specs:

Rb30 sohc

Garrett GT4245 - .91 A/R / 94mm exducer (Rated to 850hp) Roller bearing turbo

Turbo smart 48mm external waste gate

6Boost (Kyle) custom exhaust manifold

Screamer pipe

Microtech LTx12

Bosch 6 coil set up

Sard 700cc injectors

ARC GTR 600mm x 300mm x 100mm intercooler

Tomei Head Gasket

ARP Head Stud Kit

LukeVL 272 camshaft (220 @.50)

Adjustable cam gear

JD Plenum (On n/a runners) / XF Throttle Body

Ported Head (MaceRace)

stock rods

cast precison pistons

KEAS 1000 hp powerglide, transbrake, 3500rpm stall

stock diff, 3.45 gears

26x8.5 et streets

water injection

470rwkw on 26psi at 6500rpm...lazy motor/pump fuel ,water injection, fullboost at 4250rpm

lasted for 3 yrs with the cast pistons ans stock rods and never any less than 23psi, and up to

26psi in the end on pump fuel, but alternator stopped charging and stopped pumps

nuked only 1 cast piston...lol, still have 6 good rods and 5 good pistons,good bearings and rings! could have just slapped it back together with one piston

But have a new motor finished now with cp forgies, h-beam rods, big valves,

big solid camshaft [email protected]", roller rockers(just released), 90mm t/b , and short

runner jpc plenum, billet borg warner 70mm comp wheel in turbo,comp raised from 7.4 to 8.4

so hopefully should rev and make power to 7800-8000rpm.

want to run deep into the 9's at 145mph+ (trying for 150mph)in full street trim, so i am after

550rwkw on a pump fuel, be it 98 or e85

cheers

good to hear she's forged now Andrew!

hey Darren & Ash, I'm keen to know more about both of your specs..........beats the heck out of some of the crap on a couple of the other threads at the moment!!

Mine isn't much compared to the like's of Joel's, Andrew's and Darren's but my engine mod list is:

Stock rebuilt RB30e

Stock RB25de (non vvt head)

Custom Spec reground GTR cams

adjustable cam gears

Apexi Power Fc

GT 35/40 (1.06e/h) from xr6t

GTR injectors

Nismo FPR

Apexi panel filter

I think thats it!

Mine is,

RB30/26 built myself

CP pistons

Spool Rods

RB26 sump/front 4wd diff adapted to the block

RB26 head

Stock plenum

GT35r

Custom exhaust manifold, made by myself

Microtech lt12, Tuned myself

Makes 397rwkw on 20psi, cams are set-up for more midrange/ less top end power, Full boost (20-22psi) at 3200 RPM, rev limit at 7500rpm.

i soooo cant wait to see your car back in action Darren....and i cant wait for air to be reopened....i know the first few meets will be packed out with all the old school racers...i just wanna have mine running properly b4 i take mine down....i'll be running off the footbrake like what you used to darren.....from what ive seen with a similar car, a low 13 should be in the books for me....a low 13 in a full trim daily driver woudlnt be too bad....plus my missus wants to run her car down there too :P

  • 1 month later...

Ok bumping this thread...

It's now February and I got promied that AIR was going to have stuff up and running in January.. :happy:

Guys any news?

P.s Shame Brett Stevens wont be coming to SA town again..Best Times watching him at AIR and the shennanigans he preformed *spelling* ;)

yeh that is a bloody shame about brett stevens, the thing is every top fuel team is either involved in drugs or some form of money laundering and i dare say the police/tax men will be taking a intrest in em all over the next few months... drag racing as a whole in aus might be in trouble lol

but yeh AIR is fooooooked, and pt adelaide strip is all talk, they havent even bought the land

lol everyone had their hopes up for AIR to open again

AIR is so McPhucked that its not funny...but apparently there has been some work being done at AIR tracks

maybe they havent timed the project properly and need more time

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
