Hi guys, I have been doing a lot of reading over the last few days on these forums as i need to learn more about the RB26 since im coming from an EJ20 :yes: My 1994 R32 GTR is running 22.5psi with 2860-7's (making 325kw @20psi). Now i see a lot of internally stock engine setups are only running 16-20psi. Do you think there is any danger running 22.5psi using stock pistons/rods etc? The car has ARP head studs and a cometic steel gasket, obviously to help with the higher boost, but how will the internals hold up (no track work with the car)? The cylinder head was reconditioned recently (not by me) but as far as i know the bottom end is stock.

More info on my setup is:

Power FC (of course!)

Bosch 044 pump

Bigger injectors (unknown size)

Twin 2860-7's

Dump pipes

3" into 3.5" exhaust

Steel Head Gasket, Studs, etc

Adjustable cam gears

The car is absolutely crazy on 22psi and in this wet weather will happily spin the rears to over 150km/h in 3rd :P Quite fun (and SCARY indeed!)

Cheers,

Shaun

So you would recommend lowering the boost? It has a setting at 19.5psi but i feel that is probably a little high also? In the end it depends how i drive it i guess. Future plans are to put forged pistons and some better rods in it. Just so it can handle 330kw without letting go on some random occasion.

Lower it is then :P Definitely dont want it failing just yet, it can wait until after i buy a house! I like the idea of the RB30 bottom ends, but i don't like the idea of tossers saying i have a VL engine in my skyline! I think i will stick to the RB26. Something like 250kw at 4500rpm or so is pretty good for a street car!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
