Could any of you blokes let me know at what level the std RB26 conrods tend to break.

I'm pushing high 300's with my GTR and the tuner said that on e85 the torque produced could be too much for the std rods to handle.

the motor has forged pistons etc but i left the rods std because when i had it built i didnt think i was going to attempt to push for 400kw

standard rods will be okay its more an issue with the rod bolts... when it was built did they upgrade the bolts?

keep the rev limit sane and don't let it detonate and you should be okay

R34 GTR

Autronic SM4

Injectors

T04z turbo kit

Exhaust

Fuel pumps

Nitto head gasket

Drop in cams

STANDARD BOTTOM END

450kw @ all four wheels.

Does e85 help with engine longevity? The higher ron is much safer right, but the higher boost probably alleviates the buffer gained with better quality fuel.

If you didn't up the boost and ignition it would, but everyone does up the boost and ignition so the extra buffer is now gone.

T04Z/33psi/450 @ treads on E85 is an interesting result. Guess that shows the difference when people build motors and pay attention to the small things that overall make up the bigger picture and allow you to make such figures with 6-8psi less and on PULP.

Well its Sucrogen E85 - so not the E85 you or I would get from the pump, nor is it the same price (roughly $2.5/L IIRC)

Do you remember the Sucrogen rep/owner or whatever that came on here and blew up @ everyone a while back? lol... Cause it's the same mob if memory serves me correct. That was a good thread. I should try find it for lols.

First price I got from Tas was about $350 return.

That'd probably include a trip to syd and back, or do they fly direct from tas?

Not to mention that you'd also need to have no luggage, leave at 4am, have even smaller than normal seats, etc.

Hi there, got my car tuned today at Pits on the gold coast.

Mods as follows.

R32 GTR

RB26 bored, decked, cleaned, balanced and the crank ground.

Ross pistons, total seal rings, Spool Conrods.

Head is mildly ported, re-seated etc etc, Tomei 270 dur 10.8 lift cams, Brian Crower springs.

N1 oil pump, tomei oil restrictor.

1200cc injectors, 2 x 044 pumps, 3L surge tank.

Haltech E11v2

STD coils at this stage

115mm intercooler, chinese one i'd say, $400

70mm Billet turbo by Mark at Mr Turbo, Gold Coast

60mm wastegate, ebay cheapie.

4 inch exhaust all the way with 1 straight thru muffler.

twin plate OS clutch.

Tuned today on E85 from the pump, made 564 Hp on 26 psi, 528 hp on 23psi, and 501 on 20psi.:cheers:

Maxed out the injectors at 26 psi, looking at ID 2000's for the next tune. hopefully crack 600 which I don't think will be a problem.

So I went to the T and T last week and ran a best of 10.9 but at a whopping 138.5 MPH, needless to say they booted me out, but I was happy!!:action-smiley-069:

stock box ??

Yep stock box but it's not happy!

Had to be nice to it on the launch (if you call 7K nice) but getting into 3rd was a struggle, hit the limiter right on the 400m mark in 4th gear, Limited to 8300 rpm

Im looking to sell the car soon but would like to see 650ATW with Id2000's first, If anyone is looking for a good GTR it'll will be around $25,000 with new paint.

The car is well built and will be reliable, (apart from the g/box)

mid 4's happily, more than that i cant attest too.... as i wont push a customers 26 past 450kw on std engine...

  • 1 month later...

made it in by .5 of a rwkw :D

400.5rwkw

2530's

smallish cams, 256

Powerplus E85

mid to high 21psi

Racepace adj cam gears, all for response (let the E85 take care of the top end)

built 26, not 100% on pistons hence no 24psi runs etc.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
