Birth Of An Rb25

hey, people are going to think you mean me.....we must be clear that Adrian was responcible for the bodgy stuff.

Yes. Make that very clear. My car is a balance of excellent (Stu) and bodgy-as-all-fark (Me). The latter is constantly being corrected and turned into the former.

you go alright for a pencil pusher. you should see my brother inlaw hold a tool.

i only got nervous when you were using drills and stuff.

sorry for that, of course i meant adrian LOL...

lol at adrian using the drills

[2rismo]

It has been funny as hell. I started off with spanners and progressed to ratchets (I'm only allowed the quarter drive because I snap stuff) and then I moved on to drills and other power/air tools.

You should've seen the look on Stu's face when I walked past him holding the air hacksaw!!!! HAahahahahah!!!!

[2BNVS]

lol what a crack up haha

Went for a drive yesterday to clean the tune up a bit so that it's driveable and not emptying the fuel tank at idle. Ended up throwing out a set of brand new plugs as the base map is so rich they fouled and wouldn't clean up no matter what we did. Put a new set in ($18 for all six ) and with the changes to the fuel map it idled beautifully. Return to idle was a problem though and so with some more tweaks to the decel/overrun settings, it finally stopped stalling on the back-off and now returns to idle as it should.

Big thank you to my mate Kon for his help and use of his laptop and skills. I'll put some kays on it and then take it to the dyno as soon as time permits.

Also, took my rego label into the workshop to apply to the windscreen before driving it for any distance and laughed when i saw the date - October 13. $1100 to register it for a total of 6 weeks potential driving. Ouch!

At this rate, it might be fully running in time for my wedding in Feb

It's running right now, mate. Just needs a tub...bad.

[JAS-25T]

lol

I want it smoking tyres, not gripping!

[2rismo]

To tell you the truth, it's not capable of smoking tyres with the tune that's in it. Has only seen 5psi so far and it's all 10.5:1 and no timing. i.e. very bloody slow.

[JAS-25T]

10.5:1

I hope thats AFR not CR!

[2rismo]

I hope thats AFR not CR!

Yes mate. It's AFR. Comp is about 9.0:1.

just read the article your car is in 2rismo. Its an old hpi mag. I cant wait to see what times you run with the new set up

[BOZ22N]

How is this project going? any times or dyno sheets yet?

[2rismo]

Not yet, mate. Still a couple of little things to do and I've been on a big deadline with work for the last couple of weeks so no time to get them done. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll be on the dyno and then the track. Cross your fingers for me.

[BOZ22N]

Done i will ever cross my eyes for you

so with the oil pump setup, im asuming the -10 on the front of the oil pan is conected to the oil pickup in the sump?

[BezerkR32]

yeh, actaually -12 fittings, but you get the idea. pickup is welded to the bottom of the sump and piped internally to the fitting. plumbed from there through the pre filter, then pump, then inline filter then into the block where the standard filter usually goes.

[2rismo]

The bill for that much -12 braid and all those fittings makes the baby jesus cry.

[2rismo]

Stuart, more rice for the whale! Need an idea on where to fit the sender though. Thoughts?
