Birth Of An Rb25

[2rismo]

After many hundreds of passes on this completely stock RB25DET, the inclusion of a cheap, stainless exhaust manifold (which in hindsight, offered very poor boost control), killed the motor with a big lean-out. The added gas flow from the Nitrous couldn't bypass the back of the GT35 quick enough and the motor saw 29psi peak on top of the 100hp pill.

Damn tough motor that one!!

Rest In Pieces...

[2rismo]

Sad thing was it was a silly mistake that in hindsight could have been avoided and the motor might still be going strong.

Never mind

About time you joined the mens club and busted a motor you softie

[2rismo]

I finally started trying, see?

Nice work 2rismo, welcome to the broken club.

[2rismo]

Thank you too much

Just found a whole bunch of old footage - uploading it to youtube now

[88silhouette]

nice work mate

[2rismo]

Fun stuff - having serious flashbacks watching these.

[Bliksem]

what was your best ET with that setup mate?

[2rismo]

Best to date is that 12.0

The short time and slowing 330ft time on the pass it let go on says that it was more than a second quicker than that but until it runs a full pass it doesnt mean anything.

The quickest the car has been was with the old std turbo, manual, nitrous setup - 11.662 @ 118mph

[NA_R33]

So the big question.... whats planned???

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Sorry to hear the news, but can't wait to see what time you can do with a built engine
