yeah it was a sign of things to come :)

for us modern folk what's 476hp in kw?

nice work mate, though it may be about 470hp more than you can handle sunshine :P

edit: figured it out, about 350rwkw. not too shabby.

470hp more than he can handle?

or 470hp, more than he can handle?

lol

ps. congrats steveo! drive safe!

ah finally a power figure :)

Congrats..... I thinks that power will satisfy you for all of say a month !!!

btw... any more boost left in the turbo out of curiousity??? or is it at its peak???

But this at least makes me get off my ass and get my final tune done..... 306rwkw just isn't the same as it was last month !!! You were right I need more boost!!! Looks out, my lil 25 is chasing your figure ;)

Shaun will no doubt post up what he thought in detail...

May as well

Yeah, the wet-road acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gear is best described as 'hilarious', at least thats the effect it had on us. lol

It's a fairly tractable engine- You can feel the torque curve really starting to swell just before 3500rpm, then it gets more serious at 3800, and goes absolutely manic from 4000... and flings the needle from there to 7000 in a blink while all four tires break traction in the wet :)

It should be an epic thing in the dry; a real workout for the neck muscles. If it ever stops raining for more than 30 minutes at a time, that is =P

It's going to require an ECU change to run the last 5 or so pounds of boost that the turbo can run efficiently, but I reckon that, combined with cams and a better intercooler and some silicone lower hoses should see around 550rwHp (410rwkW) without too much trouble. That would only take the injectors to ~90% duty cylcle too, which leaves plenty of safety margin.

Time for that dry-sump setup now...

Got the obligatory shot of the manifold glowing tomato-red during some constant load tuning-

Good stuff Steve. 2 years is a hell of a long time to wait. Ive waited 6 months so far with my car,thats bad enough!

We need specs,i know they are here somewhere but please jog our memories. :)

nah can't

gotta study and pack.

Weak

Good work, Steve-O! It's nice to see it come to fruition after all this time of us bagging you out!

Sure is! - Cheers

NICE ONE STEVO!!!! Congrats on finally getting in done....

Hopefully see you out on the track soon... just wont be overtaking you in a ceffie this time

I saw your soon-to-be shitbox on saturday at CRD :)

There's no way you're getting past me biatch, i definatly want to take you for a lap or two on Saturday :)

Nar i dont know what im doing for work till tomorrow so to late to come have some fun.

Yeah, finally :( - It had 240hp when we rocked up, so thats what it had when it was at your last

Yeah its cranking along, almost at daves figure (only 30kw more to go), but he has cams and cam gears etc so ill do the same and try and match his crazy thing ;)

5 psi left in it, but cause its on stock cams and gears i figured its got a fair bit more to do before using the last 5psi, i want 400kw at the treads for this car. Next car will have a bit more but use a to4z with a huge rear housing and stay 2.6L

You DO need more boost, but you also may need more traction ;) Which is something i dont have to worry about

Thats cool, chase mine ;)

I was definitely laughin in the car tonight and not from excitement. I said come back when it's dry and then I might stop trying to push my feet through the floor.

lol, scared much?

congrats steve. looks good.

wheres my thanks ya bastard? i help put the engine stand together that day aaron copped a crow bar to the face.

Forgot, updated

haahahah almost 500hp atw.......that is insane....good shit steve-o

it will get to about 550hp at the treads before im finished with it :(

so the important thing

it does good skidz ya?

lol, we'll see on saturday i guess :)

I know its not afraid to get the oversteer happening

Good stuff Steve. 2 years is a hell of a long time to wait. Ive waited 6 months so far with my car,thats bad enough!

We need specs,i know they are here somewhere but please jog our memories.

Basic specs;

RB26/30

CP Pistons (86.5)

8.5 CR

forged rods

jun oil pump (dry sump coming)

os giken r3c

740 injectors

044 pump

nismo adj fuel reg

stock cams

cam gears set to zero

crank collar

tomei valve springs

splitfires

microtech lts12

alloy radiator

highmount single turbo with 44mm gate and screamer

n1 water pump

stock bov's

fully sick air filter

thats about it really

Brakes on the way soon (looking like 378mm v8 supercar rotors with ap racing 6 pot monoblock calipers front, nfi for the rear)

Gearbox will be done when the current one lets go, or after the brakes are done. Looks like about another 10-12k to go until its where i want it to be

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
