ACL standard replacement Ie. non race series. $96+TAX

Dave, Good work mate thats really nice for only 10psi, run her in quick so we can see what is really achievable!!!

GTST:

Wiseo forgies

eagle rods

2mm cometec (sp?) head gasket

stock rb25det head

greddy plenum

custom high mount with GT35r, .82 AR rear

I am told it has 9:1 compression

Notice on the graph how early it wants to shoot up in boost.. and in power!!

it is a world apart from the rb20, its just so nice to drive normally, Only booted it a few time but hell!!! its crazy

she's got a non name 45mm external that really screams on boost :P

I havent wired my tacho in yet, but yeah it wouldnt be the most accurate figure cuz its is running pretty fat at the moment, seems to choke on itself a little, then all of a sudden it just screams onto boost

My speedo isnt working yet either, its cable driven and the drives in the box, but nothing on the dash ?? :S, going to jack it up and pull out the speedo sender, bet it's snapped the cog off the drive :)

what happened to the R31 you had dave?

jeez seems like ages ago when we were talking about this stuff in the porto over a *number* of alcoholic beverages. good to see you got it going, only beat me by 6 months though :(

impressive power for that boost too, nice bolt-ons contribute i think :(

Thread too long to check, but I understand RB30 stock rods are tougher than RB25 rods?  By how much and why?  I hear they can handle ~400rwkW with all tuning working well.

Ho, ho, ho, standard rods :looney: :looney: :looney: 400rwkw ho, ho, ho

RB30 rods are longer

RB30's have a better rod/stroke ratio than RB25/26

This means they are subject to lower side stresses

Being 3 litres, it doesn't have to rev as hard to make the same power

So the RB30 will generate the same power with less rod loadings

But the RB30 rods in themselves are not as strong as RB25 or RB26 rods

Because they don't have to be

:P

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
