lol...where did you hear that you Wally?...im sure that was only in your mind.

Im talking about non-obtrusive, quiet, unasuming, but very powerful stock looking and sounding cars. I hate driving my car...even the small distance from the shed to home (and you know how close that is). This car i could have easily driven around in all bloody day.

i didn't throw that RB30 bottom end in the tip to regret it...it was exactly that...rubbish. :)

lol, ok ok

Shouldnt you be calling the tip for me soon? :(

Exactly....it makes 10+psi @ 2500, hence the big torque early.

Some more details:

Crank is a custom billet 12 counterbalance job. Don't try to rev those RB30 cranks too high!

Rods are SR20. Don't sweat the R/S ratio. 1.5-1.65 has proven to be ideal/desirable for a 4 valver in the 1-9000rpm range.

Modern materials and rod/piston designs mean longevity is not an issue, and shorter rod is a stronger,lighter rod.

Pistons are custom.

Camshafts are Nissan OEM.

Turbos are currently Garrett -5's, (about to make way for a very slightly bigger set).

We have now have it tuned at 24lb and it makes 468kw with plenty more through the mid-range.

I'll post a new dynograph when I get a chance.

Lots of sneaky tricks in this one. I probably shouldn't have sold it after all..... :)

cheers,

Garrett -5's and 468kw ??? this must have been on an engine dyno...right? :(

Was the crank originally an RD28?

i thought the limit of -5's was alot less? without being 100% familiar with 'dash fives', are they one specifc turbo, or are there different sizes? last GTR i saw running -5's was an R32, making ~425rwkw on 116 octane, and it appeared there was nothing more to give from the turbo side of things, unless there are bigger -5's?

yes i envy this motor...

its power is like electricity...you cannot see it...you cannot hear it...you cannot smell it...but boy you can feel it.

Dave, Ron Harrop can help you out with a crank...he is in Melbourne.

They wouldn't make that power on pump fuel without some enlargerment. The compressors simply do not flow enough air. Hence why I asked if it was engine dyno'd....since the best engineering shops will only tune this way. Torque can be measured to .1 ft lb which gives a very very good indication of cylinder pressures.

I wouldn't be suprised to see that type of response on a 2.9 from modified -5's, baby cams help aswell

Ben has tried more than 5 turbo combos on this engine alone, while logging temps and pressures.

You would be amazed at the power some of these little turbos can make.

As far as I know the turbos are off the shelf -5's.

.64 turbine housing.

I'm glad you assume the compressors wont make that much power.....apparently it is actually the turbine that is getting close to the flow limit.

Same turbos on a F355 Ferrari also make over 450kw @ wheels on only 16psi (different dyno).....

My own track car with 2.6 engine and -5's makes over 400kw @ wheels on pump.

This engine is the culmination of 8 years of Race Pace RB development.

It was built as a challenge for a stock appearing/mannered engine to have monster power and response.

In the last 12 months it has seen over 10,000km of road use and various track/tarmac rally events and is still going strong.

I want it!

Seeing as the car with this engine is for sale, I might as well spill some of the 'Ben's secret specs'

Custom billet crankshaft 84mm stroke

Custom titanium rods

Custom forged pistons 86.5mm bore

Custom chamber/port shape

Variable cam timing

12 injectors

Thats the basics, Im sure there are lots more tricks in there.

I cant confirm it - but have heard rumour that the was some deal done too.

Something about soul and sold to the devil. My personal theroy is that he is the devil - or at least the dark son of rajab of RB's

On the subject of secrets - I want to know how he keeps his shirt so clean?

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
