Nytsky's Engine Build

[R33 Eddy]

he did manage to pull over 400 on the RB25. topped out at 429kw from memory?

but how long was it making this power for and what was the egts at?

[DCIEVE]

If it's remotely relevant my old rb26 with 0.82 gt35 was making ~400rwkw with egt's (as measured approx 1" from the head) between 870-890degC on all cylinders after applying some pretty big corrections.

By comparison a friends rb with a t04z making a fair bit more power had egt's ranging between 860 and 910deg (a lot less work put into trimming individual cylinders). Both cars on pump 98.

Thats a good result from pump 98.

Drove it to the exhaust shop today, what a feeling it was.

At full noise the exhaust sounds almost stock! Driving around in traffic its a bit louder.

Could be registered next week

Been a quite hectic last couple of months, thinking I had plenty of time to get ready for Powecruise things went a bit pear shaped after the initial run it.

Short hand is:

Run in.

Noisy engine bay.

Weird fragments in sump and oil

Engine out

Oil pump rebuilt

Stripped and inspected bottom end

New clutch

New harmonic balancer (modified)

New gears and pulleys (modified)

New thermo fan setup

New complete hot side

and a $40 alternator lol

We sorted the last major issue today which brought a smile to my face, then one of the oil cooler fittings WELDED to the cooler decided to explode. So off to Earls in the morning to see if I can get a new cooler under warranty.

Dave, you have an external Moroso? What mods did you make to the pulleys and balancer?
