Very nice car. I have seen it numerous times at Willowbank and always puts on a good show.

What is your best time and mph BTW? And with Nitrous or no nitrous? Regardless, quality car and good on you for sticking with the 2.5L :cheers:

that is an awesome car dude, and a huge achievment

well done, can't wait to see it hit the track, bound to do some good times with a good set of slicks and that trusty old glide

as to the dude with the commo comments, very interested to see what he has that he'd confidently line up against a 900hp car lol

not putting down this car at all but ive seen it at willowbank a few times and i think all but once everytime ive seen it on the strip it had to get pushed back off. Last few times ive seen it at willowbank it didnt even make its way to the strip at all. Obviously its made more than 1 run but it would of been good to see it racing more rather than just sitting around looking good.

Is it just me, or is the dyno sheet not loading?

Nice list of mods, and the engine looks clean, but anyone can polish an engine and spend copious amounts on parts. It's getting them all to work in the right order and the right pressures, that's the hard part.

I'll believe your 900hp claim it when I see it.

Reliable or not this thread was started on the 11 April and still no dyno sheet?

I am not saying it isn't possible but it is now the 20th May and nothing...

Anyone can polish an engine and buy a shit load of parts but putting them in a working and usable application is another issue.

900hp is from the engine, so we are talking around 720rwhp given the 20% (average) difference?

Morgs - What's the MPH on DRAGME?

The 900hp claim was done on an engine dyno this info came from a reliable sorce. Only thing i can say is the second wastegate merge pipes are so so ugly...

An old sau member in SA had his RB25 running 26 internals push out 580hp on an engine dyno. Once in the car and on a DD Dyno it only made 338rwkw. :S

~95rwkw drivetrain loss.

im not suprised a RB25 can make this sort of power at all. Why not ? a 1J can.

Well done. definatly many hours of work and i dont even want to think about how much $$ went into that setup. Speed flow galore :P

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
