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.

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

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
