while your doing that might as well slap a turbo on it :)

You'll need to remove the head if thats the case. Might as well throw a gasket kit at it while you're there, just to be sure. Drop the sump and replace the con bearings while you're there ... hell, re-ring it too. Check for abnormal wear and tear.

Best to spend an extra day and $300 freshening up the motor, just to be sure.

I did it will all my engines I picked up for cheap. :D

edit: oh, while the head is off, remove the valves and clean them up too.

your curve Joel from like 95 is like hold on and enjoy the ride :D

For Rad33 with his new rb25det on the way.. Get an rb30 under it. :P

RB25det vct head FTW for bottom end. :D

AL's motor is running the same GT3076 .82 on an rb30det but with a nice exhaust and inlet manifold with slightly smaller cams. The VCT has picked up some nice low end power peak power appears to be made around 7000rpm.

Now for mine.. :P 15.5psi that can be seen and the last tune at 19.5psi through the mid that tails off to 17psi causing top end to flatten out. The 2" fmic piping is causing issues up top as well as the wastegate flap being blown open.

Mine makes its peak around 6000rpm. Will play with the adj. cam gears to shift that to approx 6500rpm. :D

lol we could of told you that cars never miss behave once you get them to the mechanics - PM send about AFM's

So when the mechanics drive my car it doesnt shit itself?????????? FFS!

so where does that leave me? high and dry.

the only thing i can do is.... what for it to happen again and make sure it happens at the mechanics?

ill have to try and clean out the AFMs and check for damage.

Damo :D

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
