you still keen to get your beast checked out on DrDrifts dyno? i'm free all this week :D

It wont be happening for a few weeks, teh car still hasnt left the paint shop, so thesetup isnt back on proplery yet. It wont be happening before Dutton as i just wont have time, the only dyno time the thing will see is at the mechanic/tuners

new graph is up in the first post, the mechanic read it wrong as he only glanced over when he called me.... it was actually 270.8 which is bit lower but im still way happy... that was at around 21.5psi going down to 20psi up top

looks like a cliff though

they said it has potential for a lil more

yeah its externally gated with screamer

hks 256 cams... unsure on headwork

EDIT: just noticed but with the bov fixed n boost holding the 270 run spools a decent amount earlier

Any more info an air:fuels etc. How to the line has the thing been tuned. Quick run down to Wakefield and thrash it senseless and let me know how it goes...i want to run 20psi at Dutton which will net me around the mid 250-260rwkws.

Do you know the engine has pistons or not? Also curious to know what boost you are planning on running day to day...i hope your engine is stock as the response isnt really any different from mine when running the same boost...lol i wanna know ho much you can lean on the std engine.

hahaha

not sure on pistons but it was meant to have been rebuilt so i would assume so ... but who knows

ill be running it daily on 18/19 psi

ill have to try and get print out with af ratio's but i dont have one yet

well done dude. that's awesome power out of the RB20/22.

i have a Trust TD06-25G kit sitting in the garage which i wouldn't mind putting on my car but i'm afraid it will be too laggy.

maybe i should put the RB24 together ;-)

These engines always amaze me. From what I have seen boost control and tuning i.e timing have major impacts and can make some peoples results seem meek to what I assume could be there true potential. Goes for all engines I guess.

Was there any major boost control changes and/or tuning changes in the bottem end of the run from the 230 to 270kw runs?

Comparing razors 230 graph to Roys 230 graph if anything roys is better down low indicating maybe it isnt 2.2 but maybe it is?. At ~106km/h raz has 13psi as does roy, but roy has about 125rwkw where raz has about 112rwkw.

But bring in the 270 run and its like a different car altogether. 106km/h has 150rwkw and 20psi, the 13psi was reached at approx 99km/h this time?

I encountered the exact same thing with mine. Power started at about 170rwkw,then 200, then 230, then 280rwkw. Each time power increased my boost was increased (same turbo all along) but the boost threshold never changed. Off the spring it has 7-8psi which hits at about 4,000rpm and with the 280 run it spikes to 24psi and then settles at 20psi but once again its all in by 4,000rpm?

The major difference according to my tuner was that he used in his words "a shit load more timing" across the board to bring things on earlier and be more responsive and compensated by keeping the a/f ratios at a sane level. My a/f plot peaks at 11.5:1 and at full noise is 11.2:1.

Would love to overlay our graphs as my engine is also an unknown with many beleiving its stroked as well but my plot is in rpm not km/h.

After all that, once again congratulations on your result. I'm sure Carlh has been lurking and waiting to bombard us all lol. Hope he gets the triple tonne.

the only difference in the 230 / 270 runs was the 230 one the bov was leaking... it was plated off and boosted up.. thats why there wasnt the big drop in boost as comapred in the 230 run

i am hoping it will spool like the 270 run with the bov fixed

thanks and yeah it will be awesome when an rb20 runs 300

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
