weekend car only - i managed to get 5000km out of it but i was prepared to rebuild which is why i didnt really care.

ring land collapsed - started breathing heavy & lost comp in no.6 cylinder (usually 5 or 6 will let go 1st as they carry most of the heat)

Fair enough, my point would be lots of factors other that outright power could be the blame for the rings collapsing. A lot of those risks are reduced when using ethanol based fuels :)

I'm not going to rebuild but happy to drop another stock donk in the hole!

What caused the failure?

It's probably only a matter of time but I don't drive it a lot and only use 1.3bar most of the time, which makes 350rwkw with correction off or 373rwkw with correction on

too much boost for stock internals - with forged internals this wouldn't happen

If you get 6-12 months out of the motor it is probably cheaper to just keep throwing second hand bottom ends at it than to build one.

Would you consider over 150 power runs on a stock CA18DE+T with 56psi boost too much for stock internals?

Engine was still ok afterwards too.

I think Sean at EFI was running 610rwhpon his RB26 with stock internals for ages. That was on gas though. Still didn't break a piston though. It has a lot to do with the quality of the tune/tuner

well ive popped 2 bottom ends to date, tuner is highly reputable (crd).

i wish i could get away with a factory bottom end - im sure many others on here do as well :(

if you want to push it hard, it is only a matter of time

mate i thought you were joking when you said you were putiing it on a hub to see how much power it could make.

not a bad result still fell short of the 3076 though hahaha :whistling:

Why would I joke, I nearly got convinced to do a run with 1.9bar and 8500rpm but managed to contain myself!

By 0.4kw haha

I'd rather have my power curve than yours :)

we should get the 2 graphs over-layed easy to do since they are making the same power.

but

3000rpm yours 60kw mine 95kw

3500rpm yours 85kw mine 140kw

4000rpm yours 130kw mine 240kw

5000rpm yours 310kw mine 410kw

i know what i would rather :whistling:

There you go :)

Yours has a much smaller power band compared to mine, it does come on a lot harder though!

Am i reading that correctly? You made over 400rwkw with a 3076????

Did you draw the dyno graph yourself? :)

2.2bar and E85 I believe

yeah I am confused, unless you somehow run 30psi with ridiculous temps and meth or something? though would have thought the compressor would be way out of flow by then

As above, boost apparently went to 32psi but the compressor ran out of legs and power dropped a lot top end

I was there that day and the most i saw it spike to was 28 and holding 26psi...I know which turbo i would rather in that comparison, the Kando seems to be a good cheap option but it definately isn't a competitor to Garrett imo (nor should it be i guess for the money). The above plot proves that. BTW who in their right mind would rev their stock 25 to 8000rpm just for a number. Crazy....

yeah it definatley was 32psi at peak power dropped off to 27psi.

Definately thought it was 28 lol....Cold mornings/evenings will be interesting. Time for a swirl pot and another 044 me thinks.

I'll print off a overlay of a GT3076R vs Kando T67 with very similar mods and on the same dyno... You will be very surprised how similar they are :)

If I wanted to I can do a 13-15sec ramped run and make my graph come on that early like "wasnt me" run.

I'm not revving it to 8000rpm for a number, it's going to be like that all the time... If I wanted a number it would be going to 9000rpm

Not really crazy, most the drift guys over here run 8500rpm and sit on limiter all day without too many issues

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
