Turbo is dead, completely seized. Will have to talk to Bill at ATS tomorrow as he had it apart 10 days ago. Only lasted 4 laps :)

Motor is on its way out too, blowing a bit of smoke and what not. The one thing that I expected to go didn't seem to have any issues (clutch), but then again, I only got a couple of laps, and my rear tyres had no grip, so not heaps of stress on the clutch.

F*ck cars! :(:P

time to come over to the dark side RB25powa

oh thats bad luck dude. hope it all works out

:yes: I would love to, but really cant afford around $4000 to do the whole conversion :P

Just gonna freshen up the 20 a little bit later down the track.

Got onto Bill about the turbo, going to go see him next week (too busy with uni exams this week) and he'll sort it out for me :) He said it seemed very strange to him and didn't sound like an oil starvation problem. Now a whole week withouth my car! It's times like these I wish it was a track car and not a daily :(

I'd love to do that so much, but the R32 RB25DEs aren't too common, but am keeping an eye out. If I had an RB25DE head though, I'd be VERY tempted to just grab a stock RB30E bottom end and slap it together. There's a few people on here getting big power out of stock bottom ends so would be alright if one popped up :)

I think I would miss revving past 7000rpm though...

yea it would probably cost you a bit more too. mine sertanly is but im going to add a few bits to make sure it lasts.

Yeah, I think for that money I'd rather spend it all on a well put together kit, Roy has freakin awesome results with his TD06-20G kit, would sure crap all over a stock RB25 :D

That said, I'd still love an RB25...

Well nothing is happening with the turbo and I'm out $800 because of it. Borrowing a mate's RB25 turbo now so it's back to its old self

Took it out to Mallala for some circuit on Saturday and took 1.6s out of my last lap time. Got a 1:24.1, oh so close to my goal of getting into the 1:23s. I probably could've done it on the day with a bit more driving as there was still half the day to go, but I was almost out of brakes and fuel, so called it a day. Couple more issues I have to address with the setup too, bit more rear camber and probably a bit less front camber with these tyres (old hard semis that dont grip too much anymore). And it's very nervous at high speed (~180km/hr) so I've picked up a GTR wing and it's on there now. I'll head back out to a grip day soon and see how it goes. Hopefully this settles it a bit at high speed. Actually, I'll probably just give it a go at G1, the semis dont grip much more than street tyres, they just dont go greasy :D

Gotta address brakes before I get back out there again though, keep killing em... :)

Spose now with a wing, I should also enter Autosalon

^^^ i like that now i need a wing. im not sure how you will go getting the wing to fir quite right as the sedan boot is a bit narrower. i put a type m spoiler on mine and it kinda hung out over the sides.

thats pretty shit news about the turbo. so no one wants to take the blame?

what camber settings are you running now?

you will be able to enter autosalon as a one off 4 door GTR.

Flyn have these for a 130 bucks...thought you might be interested :domokun::domokun:

:) Probably be as useful as me just propping the boot lid up :)

My GTR wing fits on the car perfectly? Couple of the holes even lined up properly, but the other 2 were slightly off... Doesn't hang over the edges anyway

No one's taking the blame about turbo, so yeah, bugger all I can do :(

Right now I'm running 3deg front and 1deg rear. I was running 1.5deg rear and found this wasn't enough either, so I adjusted my bushes to make the arm shorter (more camber), but somehow, it went the other way!? :)

I'm sick of adjusting the bushes anyway, so I'm just going to get adjustable upper arms :)

hahahaha yeah go on showza... enter autosalon :)

Me and Hayden could be side by side :P Spose I could throw on the Celsior rims, take out the springs and just have it sitting on the bumpstops... ;)

OK, so at the last round of G1, I blew the engine after 3 laps, so see ya later RB20, picked up the new engine tonight. RB30DET :nyaanyaa:;):happy:

Just a few things to do, then it's goin in the 32 and then it's a search for a gearbox and suitable turbo... Thinking GT3076R or maybe even GT3582R, but going higher than 300rwkw might make circuit a bit interesting to get the power down, so I might just settle for the GT3076R and have awesome midrange :P

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
