Alright guys.

A recent topic: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Tuned-1002hp-R34-T88-t237291.html has got me thinking.... How much power can you milk from an RB engine?

I'd like to hear from others who have recent links to workshops or personal projects that state with proof their hp/kw ratings.

All RB's are up for discussion. 20's 25's 26's and strokers.

I have heard rumous of 1500hp monsters :banana:, but I've been unable to verify the fact.

It would be interesting to see what the greatest are using.

Project GTSt by GTaRT Racing in the UK.

RB25DET with T51R and all the fruit. Has run a low 9.

Actually that car is an RB26DET with a T62R and run a high 7 now :O

Heat Treatments are the most powerful I know of, "over 1200hp"... has run over 190mph on the 1/4 mile. Considering there are ">1000hp" GTRs which have only cracked 160mph, it must be making a fair bunch.

Are you sure you are not getting confused with the American version Project GTST?

Some other performance company in the US also has a project GTST which has run a 7.

UK car is black.

US car is silver.

I am 110% sure. Check this link, and on that page you'll see links for the progress of each year - you'll find you are thinking of the same car and that it has just had huge progress over the last couple of years. John went from GTArt to Abbey Motorsport and from RB25 to 26 when things started getting really serious:http://projectgtst.com/index06.php

Certainly has come along way! Why does everyone jump on the 26 bandwagon lol

In its form as a 25 did they think that is all they could squeeze out of it?

EDIT: Maybe i should swap my GT3076 for a GT3582 lol

Milking usable power and milking 10000RPM Power are two things.

Turn boost up to 2.5 Bar...get it on a dyno...add racing fuel and presto, you either have a

blown engine.....or you get a 1000+horse power figure.

Most of the vehicles you are talking about get a re-build straight after their run.

Not many here want to see if there motor will handle that sort of punishment :kiss:

I'm not convinced they gave the 25 a chance, they blew one up but I don't think it was a 25 limitation so much as oil flow and they may (not 100% so don't hold me to this) have had issues with the first 26s until they sorted it out.

GT3582Rs are an aweful lot of fun on 25s! GT30R is definitely more punchy, but above 4000rpm a GT35R starts becoming rather nuts - 20+psi and you're looking at a car capable of into the 10s with the right setup. Huge fun! But no traction on the road.

I won't post anything other than to highlight my favourite bits of your post. :P

Oh yeah, Heat Treatments GTR will be tuned in a matter of days with its latest changes - I don't know if they'll make the figures public or not but if any indication is given I will post it. I suspect if RIPS maintains his madness and pulls it all off we may well see a new worlds fastest RB powered drag car record.....

Hahahaha nice, liking it so far - then? :O

I wonder what makes more power given equal displacement... the 2J or the RB? Guess all one would have to do there is bench flow the heads against each other really.

one thing is for sure. the RB is the fastest LOOKING motor ever made. its like Nissan windtunnel tested that thing, and the 34 rocker covers have a nicer finish than most people's cars.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
