Twin Turbo Ls1 Replaces Rb25 In A Laurel And It Is Off Racing.


Recommended Posts

A mate had an LS1 in his workshop that was bound for a different project but he had the shop Drift car sitting their with an empty engine bay so this is what happens after a lot of work.

I wont quote the Dyno figure but it is high as I don't have a copy.

It was originally an RB20DE a long time ago and last motor was an RB25DET in it for local Drift rounds, radiator is in the boot which is why their is a Nitrogen bottle their, it is also running a 6 Speed Getrag.

Everything was made in house no buying a bolt on HKS Turbo kit then thinking you deserve to get into HPI.

I did make the comment about using a VQ45 but as one of the boy's said a piston goes the car will be running the next day quite easy, a motor blows and these days it is $3,000 for a brand new crate motor sitting on a shelf in Perth not ringing all over the place chasing a motor.

This isn't new territory so why reinvent the wheel at great expense as you would say, same as the 1JZGTE S14 they built in HPI the other month it was a stock motor making 600plus at the wheels, motor blows just grab one of the spares off the shelf as cheap and tough enough.

Jash has too much money :)

Far from it when you know what other workshops spend on cars (or convince their customers to spend), who built it for him, what was fitted from when it was a Drift car, were the money was spent and were it wasn't you will see what I mean, as you can see from this photo taken yesterday no flash LCD dash telling him things he doesn't need to know and it is running the OEM computer not one worth more then the car.

Jash builds cars to show you what he can do before he offers his service to his customers, other workshops build cars with customers money selling parts they stock then take the glory for it, not many WA workshops prove them self by doing the R & D on their own cars.

Because on the East Coast this is the only way to get a true name and a good reputation in modifying cars not tick and flick in a HKS catalogue or strip a car built in Japan.

i heard this thing at full noise the other weekend and it sounds awesome,

thought i might throw up a pic of it out in the sunshine at Barbagallo - sorry i havent got any of it with smoke

i was hearing figures like 780HP and 900Nm from when it was dynoed too

That is the Dyno figure but as I said I didn't want to post it because with out proof you know what happens so I will just agree with you to the 780HP.

sorry mate - it was on the commentary at rd 3 - if you want to ill edit my original post - you will have to change the quote though

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
