anyone know much about R34 GTR engine harnesses? Found one for sale on the Jap auctions and just wanna know if everything is there.

Apparently they are very hard to find and can be very expensive. This is roughly $500del

yep, looks all there to me! :(

hehe.. depends on what falcon.. the older ones are plagued with crank end float issues and head stud problems. :D

Falcons definitely a better pick than the commodores especially for towing. :mad:

See if you can pick up an old EF/EL 4ltr 5speed then umm strap a turbo on to it. 1550kg kerb weight vs the BA's 1700-1800kg. = power to weight FTW :wub:

I used one of those cheap $5 1/4" drive ratchet kits from supercheap that come with philips head bits. You can get heaps of weight on to it + leverage so they crack easily.

Thanks cubes, will give that a try :(

I haven't actually played with the cam gears yet.. Left them as is as there's still a bit of work to be done with the 2" fmic piping etc.

Im still getting my head around cam specs etc..

My understanding is there's:

~39degree's overlap seat to seat and -4degree's overlap at 0.050"

R32 RB25DE cams:

~8degree's overlap seat to seat. No idea at 0.050". All though I believe 0.050" overlap you ignore?

R32 RB20DET cams:

~5degree's overlap seat to seat.

R33 RB26:

~7degree's overlap seat to seat

So it is running a fair whack of overlap. I was pretty way off.

Ok, where do we start.

Your cams have 112deg of separation from IN to EX lobe centres which does not give you the actual overlap figure (can vary depending on lift & lobe profile).

I made a mistake in calculation in the earlier post and said you had 50deg overlap when its actually more like 40deg (I based it on a 25/65 grind rather than a 20/65).

Like I said earlier, when you increase duration you generally increase overlap so normally I would suggest you pull the IN & EX lobes further apart with gears and actually consider a figure of around 116deg of separation, but in your case I probably wouldn't bother if you're already getting good low down flexibilty.

Cranking pressure now sits at 155psi vs 158psi with the std cams.

But whats wierd is this engine analyzer pro is stating there's 28degree's of overlap?! :S

Not unusual although I expected that you would've pulled a little more compression out of the cylinders than you actually did, so its not too bad.........as for the analyzer, send it to a shrink to get analyzed :P .

On the note of compression, so many peeps opt for thicker head gasket shims in order to be able to run higher boosts but they forget you can do it with cams. So when they do cams and thicker head gasket at the same time, they wonder why they've lost so much compression. A little bit of compression is what makes the RB's so nimble so you don't want to dial out too much.

The cams are unfortunately as big as you can go without seriously looking at valve springs, solid lifters and machining the buckets. The 26 head is a much better starting point for 350rwkw+.

Yeah I agree, you've got a good street grind there with a smidge under 9mm lift which is the main determining factor for what springs and retainers you run, so your current springs (if in good order) will be fine. Definitely need to use different springs once you go over 10mm of valve lift. Good thing about RB's is 1:1 ratio unlike other engines that have to factor in extending rocker ratios as well. ;)

What I have unexpectedly experienced is a very noticable improvement in economy. We didn't play with the ignition map its the std rb26 one. The afr's were set back to 15:1 and that was it.

Driving the car to work the last week and quite a bit of driving on the weekend its consistently floating between 10.5-11L/100km's. The last tank pulled 480km's out of 52litres.

Hmmm, thats a tuffie.

I'm assuming 15:1 AFR's is at idle only and even thats abit lean, should be around 14:1 but I dont think that really matters too much.

I need to see your graphs to see what the rest of you AFR's are doing. The guy may have pulled a fair whack of fuel out of the map which could explain the good economy.....hope its not running too lean :P

I wouldn't mess with the ignition map yet until you determine what yo want to do with the gears. Pulling out abit of valve timing will alow you to advance the ignition a bit more without the extra fear of detonation.....so you gain a bit more power and bring it back where its a bit more useable at the same time.

You may be able to help me get my head around the following.

Retarding (or is it advancing?) the inlet cam does that numerically increase the Inlet LCA which widens the LSA and as a result decreases overlap.

And the exhaust.. retarding or advancing does that increase the LCA or decrease numerically? :S

Inlet LCA of 115, Exhaust LCA of 118 gives an LSA of 116.5 and 31degree's of overlap. Reduced overlap might help that restrictive gt30 .82 rear end up top.

Pretty much as I said above, but at the end of the day its all about how it feels on the road.

I'd start with about 4 degrees reatard at the crank (2 lines) on the EX cam gear and see how it looks on the dyno.

Just did a search.......Check out SK's thread that probably explains it better than me....I'm definitely no RB guru but he is.

Adj Camshaft Pulley

Well guys it looks like were putting off that SAU cruise/bruise past the dads place then. ;)

haha, yeah I think that idea has been shelved temporarily.

I was gonna back up the 300 tyre over his head :P

Hey Amanda......tell him if he messes with you, he messes with the whole SAU family........he may wake up with a horses head next to him one day :P

Ok, where do we start.

Your cams have 112deg of separation from IN to EX lobe centres which does not give you the actual overlap figure (can vary depending on lift & lobe profile).

I made a mistake in calculation in the earlier post and said you had 50deg overlap when its actually more like 40deg (I based it on a 25/65 grind rather than a 20/65).

What the hell are you kids talking about ? You sound like a bunch of darned star trek fans

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
