Hi my name Is Toby. I have a Yellow VH Commodore Wagon. You may have seen it at Wakefield park or Eastern Creek. I have slowly turned it into a ripper of a track car that leaves Porsches and Ferrari's in its wake. I have changed just about every thing on the outside of the motor. The crazy thing is that the Rb20 makes 386rwkw and has never had the rocker covers off. Nothing has been changed from the rocker covers to the sump. (ie Stock rod,pistons and cams). I have set the shiftlight to light up at 8300rpm. By the time i change gear it just brushes 8600rpm. The turbo is a bitza. 8 litre diesel compressor, RB20 ballbearing core and VG30 turbine housing. It was put together by Precision Turbo and runs 30lbs all the time. They high flowed the whole lot. They really know their stuff at Precision Turbo.

About two weeks ago I rolled my Commodore at turn five at Wakefield Park. I was in third gear with the tail out and I miss judged the apex op the corner. My front left wheel went over and off the ripple strip onto the dirt. As the wheel went back on to the ripple strip it caught me and flipped me over. I estimate that I was doing about 110km/h when I roled. I rolled 3 and a half times coming to rest on the drivers side. My roll cage, Harnesses and helmet saved my life!

Any way while the car is off the road I wanted to build a good engine for the car. I want to build a RB24. I have a RB26 head, RB25 block and my RB20 engine. I wanted to use the RB20 crank in the RB25 block with the RB26 head. Does any body know if this has been done before and if so what do I need to know. Are their any major hurdles or is it a simple bolt together afair?

Any how it is time to start pulling the old girl apart. I am building another wagon. This one will be even tougher.

NO FING WAY! CONSTANT 30LBS on a highflow?!?!? 386KW on STOCK internals!?!? wouldn't the crank just about sh*t itself at that rpm especially being flogged?!?!

sorry bud... I don't buy it....

Mate get this engine and build a friggin rocket if those figures are true... struth...

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
