Roy,

Tuning is on hold at the moment due to a few other expenses, The car is running and ready to go to the tuner I hope to have it booked in for the next fortnight.

I think from memory the squish was removes, Paul might be able to say yes or no as he was last to see it.

Cheers

If your looking for a good tuner go see Gavin Woods, i got mine tuned by him yesterday and he had the whole thing sorted in a few hours, and i was allowed in the dyno room to watch and see the whole process, you wont get ripped off either.

Hello, i'm ian from Malaysia..

Sorry for the questions but i have search all around and takes me no where..Currently i'm on my project rebuilding my RB20 to RB24..and the prob is the stock connecting rod clearance issue..i have source out for info and few told me that after market RB25/26 rods such as Eagle will fit into RB20 blocks give u clearance around 2-3mm(??) or is it any after market rod will fit without any issue??regarding the photo given,the bottom block was cut, but this is for using with Eagle rods right??is there any measurement that i can refer to cut the bottom block since i'm using stock RB25/26 connecting rods..

sorry for my English..

Cheers..

Hi,

We didn't need to cut this recess for the rods to clear as the rods cleared with 3 - 4 mm to spare. We had all plans to machine them out but decided to dummy it up first just to make sure it was required - And it wasn't. I guess it depends on the rods you use.

On another note, The care visited Horsepower Solutions the other week for a run in tune, While on the dyno they noted an excessive amount of blow by - I told them to push through it to see if it cleared up which it did mostly however it is still there.

We decided to rip the engine out next week however now with the storms that hit Brisbane on Sunday and the 50mm hail that decided to pimple 3/4 of my daily and my missus car The build has again been put on hold.... Yay!

On basic run-in tune limited to 6000rpm and 11 - 12psi of snail power the car was making a very comfy 230~kw at the rear wheels on BP 98. Once I try get some cash together "again" I'll strip her down and check for issues before putting some larger injectors in an seeing what she goes like on E85 and 30psi.

As I think someone said earlier **rattles tin**

Cheers!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
