...or are we saving that for pas?

Ohhhhh boy Zanda i could tell you a tale about horsepower and woe.. but thats till after PAS.... I'm sure paul can testify that my story about sly should have a movie about it..... after PAS though :-)

Paully,

Used to old turbin and squirted off a 316rwhp @ 12psi(without NOS). We tried 18psi for a couple of run but the graph was shitting and the coil packs begun to break down + (pinging).

So I can do a dyno run at PAS if needed though with the time need to setup car on dyno packs I doubt if you will even have time to get more than two cars on a run. 18psi figures were SWEET

:headshot:

JUDGED- we need NOs!! hope u run it on the dyno with Nos, comeon mate

I will see if STEVE SST will let me run on his dyno with a 2sec shot just to see some numbers but that will be after PAS as need to keep the cars we have there running and alive.

:ak47:

Yeah mainly Pauls:D please tell me there not using those dyno pac dynos for auto salon!! can someone confirm or deny this for me?? those wheel changes are so bloody long and frustrating... the crowd will hate it.... dyno shootouts take long enough as is gettin eveything ready as shown in motorvation.... but to also have to take off the wheels is going to show no lack of interest to the crowd when having to wait even longer!

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
