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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
