Hang on sec, this is a different dyno sheet? This shows a noticable difference in where peak power and RPM is at. encouraging.... Now, this is the important bit, is this representing the same engine and what was changed to get this rpm/power spread gain, just the plenum? If it is, this is the data I'm after!

Sorry I thought I had posted that dyno sheet in this thread.. There's currently a similiar discussion over in the rb30det thread. :(

All that was changed was the plenum and injectors. Boost was left the same, ignition was left the same and afr's were obviously set back to 12:1 due to the larger injectors. Time wasn't wasted tweaking to see how much ign could be used to bring up the mid and peak power.

Do note the plenum used was a short runner/gtr style large plenum. Its not one that utilizes the std runners.

I haven't seen one such as the plazman be used on a 30det (how retaining the std runners and only changing to a larger plenum affects power).

EDIT: come to think of it I 'think' I remember seeing a VL RB30DET with a plazman plenum on it that retains the std runners at Boostworx. I will have to check and see how that went.

Unless the dyno operator has calibrated the dyno's indicated speed for the vehicle the speed shown will be out.

Which is evident with the dyno sheets I posted above.

oh, that throws a spanner in the works doesnt it lol

And it only takes about 30 sec, although i have found that there is some discrepency when setting up the ratio tacho on the dyno, when doing a power run with heaps of grunt, there is some tyre slip, it only takes 3 or 4% slip to throw out the numbers significantly

dudes give me a break lol

I street tuned the car myself and then hired my mates dyno (for a very good price) and he was not even there to help me set the dyno up (took me 15 mins how to work out to get the ramp runs working properly) hehehe its been over a year since ive operated a dyno last and i forgot!

it was 7000rpm when i backed off - i backed off when it hit limiter.

keep in mind that was only 15psi (engine can do 25psi cos of low compression) and it was 38 deg in the room SOOO hot. so i did not like pushing the engine sooo hard.. i let it cool down a bit and ran this number which is pretty good but i backed off cos it was knocking over 50 because it was wayyy tooo hot.

The Standard RB25 inlet manifold is fine, very good even! We have RB30/25's with GT3540 .82 making 350kw @ wheels on 20 psi pump gas no problem. Power peaks at around 7000rpm and hangs on nicely. The gains are to be had on the exhaust side. 3" aint gonna cut it at those power levels. A lot of GTST guys run into trouble as they slowly upgrade. Bigger injectors, bigger turbo, 3 litre bottom end, all supported by bolt ons (intercooler, exhaust etc) only ever intended to make 200-250kw. Check the VCT is working correctly and the cam timing is correct also.

Cheers.

mine has a 3" exaust and it does not cause me any issues.. i am looking for around 320 - 350rwkw

Power curve is looking nice.

See how it goes as you wind up the boost.

When you have 350rwkw and NO knock, let us know........... :P

RPMGTR,

What are your experiences with the R32 RB25DE Non-VCT head (as the above dyno sheets were of)

hahahaa =) not bad for a street tune.. i did not touch the tune on the dyno i only used it for 30 minutes to run it up and check the tune and everything was fine.. I just wanted to put the power figure to paper... was not using shootout mode...

if this saturday is cooler i might run it up again with more boost see what happens

ohhh it was boiling hot in the workshop.. the dyno sensor was in the air (no where near the engine bay) and it was reading 38 deg so i was not really interested in pushing it anymore

Mr. Squiggle.

Lol Guilt-Toy.. Top stuff. :happy:

Are you trying to say the engine wont make that much power without knocking?? i need a fuel pump upgrade and boost controller upgrade before i chase anymore then 320rwkw anyway and im not spending anymore money for at least 2 years :happy:

RPMGTR,

Regardless of power being made.... What your findings are is the RB30DET regardless of the power it makes requires a 3.5-4" exhaust and aftermarket exh. manifold if you don't want power to nose over at 5500rpm?

Its a pity I don't have the dyno sheets but there are a couple of RB30DET's running the VCT head, std exh. manifold 3" exhaust that even though they are only making 180rwkw-220rwkw with std and highflow turbo's they STILL nose over at 5500rpm.

Those that run with a plenum regardless of the power they are making don't nose over early. On the dyno I run on. :S

    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
