Went the option of billet gears for the pump. Fitted up nicely I must say.

Any idea how much oil a RB20 with external cooler should take? 7 ltrs seemed to be what got the level jsut above full allowing for the oil to fill the lines and cooler.

so what else would u use apart from billet when going 4 a stronger oil pump ? whats standard ?

I think the normal ones are just steel.

I have to hookup my oil pressure guage this morning to see what oil pressure its doing at idle, should be around 80psi yes?

I think with standard oil pump on idle it should be around 40psi ish. when you are under acceleration should go up to about 80psi.

however with the different gear it will probably have greater pressure at idle...

I havent had a chance today to take it for a drive but yesterday when I checked the oil pressure came up around 2000rpm was sitting around 75 - 85 PSI on the stock guage. I'll have to try wire my guages up tomorrow if I get a chance in between calls.

Just took the car for a quick drive around the block, sounds strong.. nothing like a rb20 has the sound of a rb26!

Oil pressure was solid 75 - 85psi, didnt look at the tacho or speedo once... was listening to al lthe clunks I had forgotten about! Hmm Coilovers feels alot different to the 05 Magna I have been driving for the last 2 ½ years!

Onice I get the front bar back on and indicators I'll take it for a longer drive, I am thinking I will have to adjsut the clutch also it was a little rough/hard to go into gears.

Cheers!

I decided it was best I hookup the Idle Control Valve afterall so Spent an hour or so yesterday doing up the 4 bolts that hold it onto the plenum, Should of done this before I put the oil filter and oil cooler adapter on the engine!

Heres a lil pic of the fitting I fitted to the intake pipe just after the BOV and before the TB

Quick update, I havent had much spare time to be able to drive the car so have done a few laps around my area up and down the hills so done around 50km's so far so in total the rings have around 120km's on them so they should be clsoe to run in.

Just took the car for a spin around the block.. OMFG!!! didnt go over 0.6bar and used about 35% throttle to hold it there but...............wow! I havent felt that feeling for 2 ½ years, pulls a hell of alot harder than the rb20 did on 17psi and 100% throttle only took it too 5000rpm but dam! was scary :D :D hope to get it on the dyno next weekend to setup the boost controller and adjsut the afr's a tad noticed they were sitting around the 12.8 - 13.3 mark.

Its going to lag a bit makes positive pressure around 3700rpm and found 0.6bar around 4300rpm.

Will keep updating as I enjoy it more and get some dyno time under its belt.

Well I jsut got home from spending the morning on the dyno, Cars still at the dyno :P

Car has a slight oil leak which I will need to get fixed up during the week, but it developed a problem about 2 hrs into the tune where it would idle but not rev.

Pretty much as soon as u touch the throttle it cuts out and just stops.... weird thing is if u start it and push the pedal straight away and get it over 3500 it will run fine while not at idle :S tuner said he has seen similar with a dodgy CAS, Can anyone shed some light on what could be causing this? or if they have had this problem before and came across the fix?

Car was making 143kw and 390nm limited to 7000rpm which is all we could push it due to the fact the airlines to the wastegate liquified causing the gate to hold steady at 4.5psi woooooooooo so the hightemp airlines arent so Hightemp so I will have to source a better solution before we can try again.

Cheers

You are due for change in luck soon....but on the topic of high mount turbo setups, there is no such thing as overkill when it comes to using teflon braided lines for wasetgates, braided and sheated lines for oil returns and supply etc etc. Then planty of heat wrap etc...everything just gets so toasty under there

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • 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...
