More photos to come this weekend including interior. The car only gets driven on the weekend and I have home renovations that require funds. I would love to keep it but it is alot of money to have just sitting in the garage.

nice car mate. would of thought you would have made it well in to the 400hp mark with the gt35 and 3 litre bottom end on 20psi

Yes, I am sure with a bit more timing that is quite possible. My tuner likes be conservative with his tunes. The car previously had a stock 25 in it with the same turbo setup. Only 3 degrees of additional timing was added over the RB25 timing and the 3L runs about 8.2:1 compression. The head also has stock camshafts.

wot boost is the car tuned to and wot power is it making? cheers

Tuned to 20psi and made 373rwhp. The motor was bought last year from a guy who had it in his VL commodore. The owner said no expense was spared on the engine build and he had it tuned for 24psi with a T66. The dyno graph showed 640rwhp. So I am confident the motor has more potential in it. Ultimately I achieved what I wanted from the setup so had no reason to lean on the motor.

Cheers

hmmm no expense spared on the motor.... stock rods pushing 640hp thats a bit of a worry. hows that fuel pump handle? herd the walbro's only have enough puff for about 240-250kw? wot did ur tuner say about the pump? who tuned your car? and do you have receipts for the rebuild? sorry bout all the question, I am interesed though, cheers

Yes, the owner supposedly spared no expense on the motor although he still used the stock head and cam shafts - go figure. I saw the 640hp power figure on a dyno chart but am not willing to comment on its authenticity or accuracy. In my experience there are many factors which govern the recorded performance of a car on a dyno hence the variations in power between different dynos. Needless to say a cars performance down the quarter mile gives a good indication of its potential. With the old RB25 motor and GT35R running 16psi (293rwhp) the car managed a terminal speed of 110.5mph (low 12s) despite the problems launching the car with the old suspension.

I did get some receipts from the owner of the engine but they only cover the machining work and engine assembly and show purchase of the ARP gear. The owner was quite willing to pull the head off to show the forged pistons although I didn't see this as a necessity given my ultimate goal of not more than 300rwkw. I was also told the block was O-ringed.

Walbro is great. I have provided it with a direct power feed thanks the battery now living in the boot. I expected the fuel pump to limit the power the engine made and would expect it to be close to its limit.

My cousin, Phil Laird, tuned the car. He is a well respected tuner in Australia.

The Electronic boost controller has 3 settings. Normal day to day driving I run on setting 1 which is 13-14psi.

Hope this sufficiently answers your queries.

Cheers

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
