yeh they are laggy but this is bush bearing turbos on low compression rb26 with seals that are on the way out lol!!

can only compare the gearbox to standard so dunno , feels closer ratio between 2-3 3-4 , and im not stressing to break gearbox when i drop it at 8300 limiter , every other drivelien part is another story lol!

when the turbos finally let go will probs chuck on some -5 for comparrison but dunno how well they will with this low compression!!

Any reason you went so low? For your boost level it would've been fine on standard 8.5:1

Good to hear about the gearbox, everyone that's driven one reckons they're hot shit and well worth the coin

Can always change it, head gasket isn't as bad as changing pistons lol.

Agreed.

Just change the 1.5mm one out for a standard gasket, weld the wastegate shut, turn the fuel pressure up, set the injectors to 100% and hold it flat.....good times

Oh there's one 400 club member who's a happy camper tonight. As far as spreadable power, it's pretty much WINNING!!!

Will overlay the graph with another big engine to compare, just got the graph straight from the dyno so it will have to wait until tomorrow and ill go to the dyno and take a pic thats worth posting in here rather than the one i have currently which was just a quick one

Its all day after tomorrow like now, I figure you should at least share some details after this much waiting :P

OK guys here we go. Didn't get to overlay it which was a shame, but did get a much better pic.

This is Paul/Piggaz's GTR of course. Turns the wheels in 2nd gear on 265 semi slicks. The thing to note is that between gear changes, unlike so many other cars out there, when you have selected the next gear and engaged the clutch - this thing is already making ~400rwkw instead of being off boost or out of the meaty powerband. It's got a great spread of power, and it's fast! There's another 30-35rwkw in it top end with cam timing but it's setup for overall power not a peaky figure. So much fun, he could charge admission for a ride in it.

Not to take anything away from Paul, but RB30 still rules :D

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
