that figure of 457awkw is aligned with what my tuner advised i could achieve if i switched to e85.

what exhuast diameter are u running?

That was at 20psi... will update when I get some more fuel flow

Exhaust is twin 75mm into 90mm-100mm(not sure). Center muffler 90-100mm and 5" internal rear round cannon. Primaries are long....past the gearbox up to the uni I think. No cats

Did I read that right back on the previous page where you said 89mm bore?

Based on my experiences with machining and sleeving RB26 blocks, the outer diameter of the cylinders tend to break away when bored to 92mm which is the necessary bore size for the OD of the sleeves.

Admittedly I only have a little RB30 experience but does the RB30 block have thicker cylinders, say around 94-95mm? If so they would support a dry sleeve very easily with an 89mm bore.

Or have you done some very radical work in order to allow the block to support a wet type sleeve? I investigated doing this as well with the 26 block, and Darton told me the block wouldnt support a wet sleeve and retain good strength (I presume unless extra measures were taken). I guess with enough grout filling the block would become sturdy enough anyway.

I had thoughts of using a stepped sleeve, that is say 95mm OD at the top, and then 92mm from 1/2 way down the sleeve to the bottom. The theory being that this would give the cylinder strength where its needed, close to the combustion chamber end of the cylinder. While keeping the block intact enough to not compromise the bottom end rigidity. Then with a 1/2 grout fill it would still be pretty much bullet proof block, and support an 89mm bore.

Sorry this is off topic, but you seem to have solved your turbo choice situation... and you have a very interesting engine that provokes me to think of ways to add more capacity to the RB.

Edit...

89 x 87.7 = 3275cc!

Had sooooo much fun at Mallala. Was happy to know that the car was faster in some parts than the Lamborghini (very similar straight line but faster in the twisties)

S**t I am surprised you even went out... the weather kept me away!

weather was horrible in the morning but dried up for a couple of sessions. I have some in car footage but it doesnt look to great. time to invest in a better camera i think

sounds nice & beefy!

if u get any more footage, pls add it to your thread

Keep the thread updated as to when you are heading out to Mallala again.

Good effort.

Will do, In all I was happy with how the car performed. I'm off the Collinsgrove Hill Climb on the 28th Aug...will be fun to get some anti-lag launches happening. I cracked a disc rotor yesterday at the track so looking at my options atm...

Not sure on what pads. Want a street/track pad. Obviuosly the best of both worlds...no squeal, low dust, low wear and high friction CoE..

Hawk DTC 60-70? may be noisy

Very nice setup & power BoostdR .

Have you looked at the Endless MX72 pads.. they seem excellent in my short experience with them, no squeal from them , excellent bite from cold & hot ..low dust.

The Angle on the Camera is not optimal, but here it is anywho

I went with Intima SR pads which are also a dual purpose street/track pad. Also grabbed some DBA slotted rotors, including pads $599

NON METALLIC ORGANIC ARAMID FIBRE MATERIALS (DON'T CHEW INTO ROTORS)

High thermal stablility from 0 to 700 degC !

Average 0.4µ to 0.5µ@ 700degC

Typical application: Performance Street and Circuit Track use.

LATEST TECHNOLOGY MATERIALS

These pads are formulated to take a thrashing. Made from extreme temperature, organic aramid fibre materials that don't chew up your disc rotors.

Intima is one of the largest Performance Brake Pad Suppliers to the Japanese Market. We stock a range of Street Race Series performance brake pads for Japanese and European performance vehicles with better specifications & performance as other big-name expensive pads but at much less cost.

One thing to note about cars; they are like women in many ways. Single, hot, sane - pick only two.

Quite the same with brakes really. Your not going to get something that works great for both street and track that doesnt squeal/eat rotors/have low dust. Pick two, be done with it.

For me brake dust is like war paint :D When real drivers see an immaculate car with crazy brake dust they know you mean business. My fav was washing the car the day prior (exhibiting some pride) and being told off by the old man for the amount of brake dust and bug guts the next morning :P

Not to mention the semi slicks with the rubber that looks like its been boiled!

haha, I like it. Unfortunately I have had the squeally pads before and absolutely hate it...must be getting old(32). I would prefer to replace the pads more often to be honest. I will let you guys know how the pads go and update you and on the Brakes/Suspension thread.

lol u remind me of my mate with his mazda mps - he dumps the clutch all the time & i ask him why?

to be honest ive never seen anyone do that in gtr whilst rolling, on launch im all for it though ;)

sounds tough :)

With their remains scattered from the budflaps as far as the bootspoiler.

Life at its best ;)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
