That's right - if you use the wrong seals and boost the fark out of it - and don't listen to your engine builders suggestions for engine longevity. Bit like an RB really :)

Except that the percentage of rotor drivers who do what you say are much higher than the percentage of RB drivers.. :blink:

Seems to be an addiction for some... boost, break, rebuild, repeat.... :D

hahah I heard an interesting number the other day.

28

Thats how many engines the White's did in their Skyline to win targa. Once. At say $5k each thats.....a lot of money on rb rebuilds.

And lets not forget that since they wouldn't have been cheating, each of those motors died with only standard boost.

maybe they were running without oil to save weight? :domokun: seriously though that's gotta hurt the hip pocket!

any motor will die if you push it hard enough, interestingly mazda's next rotary will be a clean-sheet design. there is not enough left in the renesis to tweak it for the next model.

OK - going in for final tune tomorrow !

This is today's effort:

Upgraded the Cosmo fuel pump from the standard Denso pump to dual Walbros - The denso pump is pretty good spec actually- when I took it out I did some google research on it. But 2 x Walbros will give me more then enough flow for me - They are rated at 255L per hour each.

Here are some pics:

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
