BTW - I just noticed you had an RB30 in yours too... I've done the twin cam rb30 conversion in my car... With stock cams, the car isn't going to want to rev as cleanly to 7000 due to the cams being too small, but I've got a set of GTR cams in mine, and with 'em it'll rev out to 7500 without a problem.

Out of interest, does your motor have aftermarket rods?

Cheers,

matt

well i bought the car with the conversion done already and from what i know yes the rods have been done.. more info will be pasted once the car is gone on the dyno since i have owned it.

The lifters are still hydraulic, and due to the lower clearance required, it actually gives the cam more lift (although duration stays the same).

Only real difference is that I'm running GTR valve springs in it.

Hi matlowth, RB26 cams in a RB25 head, what did you do about the hydraulic versus solid lifters?

heh - I was hoping it had rods in it, it's just the site didn't specify.. With that much power the stockies would have bent already :)

Standard gearbox/diff etc?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • 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...
