i have been questioned on the way im running in the new engine and that its a bit soft with 10psi and 5krpm rev limit.

would anyone recommend against raising the limiter to 8krpm for its last 300km before final tune? or best leave it as is

trying to get jims time is impossible

Just aquired 4 more RB30's to add to my collection and Phil at Argo has a pallet of rods available to me.

should be able to stack the pallet back on the rack for him after mine is built...lol

just think about the added torque u will have to lift that pallet

bigger is better haaa! i know from personal experience

i have been questioned on the way im running in the new engine and that its a bit soft with 10psi and 5krpm rev limit.

18-20psi and 7500rpm straight away and full power rpm within 500-750km max with 2 oil changes.

IMO more boost is more important than more rpm but 10psi and 5000rpm is being real soft on it.

I'd have had a basic mineral oil in there too and only go to full synthetic well AFTER you have done full power mapping.

i finally spoke to crd and the reason why they want me to run-in soft is because they didnt build the bottom end hence being very precautious. at the very least the engine is being well respected and just about impossible to fail in its early stages which is a good thing

everyone has their own method to their madness

From what i'v read the majority of bedding in happens within the first drive (or best bit of the hone wears away) that is the most critical time to get the rings bedded in, after that you've missed the biggest opportunity. After that it's recommended to use mineral oil for a while to let the rest fully wear in.

If you stuff up the first bit you can never fix it up. unless re-hone and rings.

Marko, I'd recommend against raising the limit, only because the engine hasn't been tuned at those sort of revs so you really have no idea what it will be doing fuel or timing-wise above the revs it was set up at.

i agree greg which is why i decided to leave it as is until i get the full power tune

im undecided whether i should update my exhaust...i have a hks superdrager & as some would know the exhaust increases in diameter.

i.e. starts @ 3.25" just after the front pipes, steps to 3.5" then goes to 3.75" under the diff to the back of the car.

im tempted to leave it as is for the final tune & if it becomes a restriction i'll then probably update the 3.25" piece to 3.5".

rob - u had the best idea by asking my tuner to drop the exhaust when its on the dyno to see if there is much of a difference

im thinking out loud.

So its basically a GT-RS sized turbo.

Ill be suprised aswel if you dont crack the 400's.

As an example, my GT-RS's @ 18psi netted 371kw's. My head doesnt flow anywhere near the amount yours does. Thats also cams not dialled in.

That tune took all of 45mins and was quite rich. It was done in a hurry as i had to drive it interstate literally straight away. I know with the cams done, decent boost and timing it wouldve cracked the 4's - so you should be a shoe in to the 4's

After all the SMS's, PMs and emails i expect at least an SMS as soon as its off the dyno and you've taken it around the block :blink:

well i worked out if i made 270.9awkw @ 6800rpm;

theoretically @ 8500rpm it will make 338.62awkw (if i use the formula of 39.84awkw per 1000rpm).

before anyone rips me apart, i know that the power level is not consistent across every 1000rpm & the power may even drop off higher in the rpm hence this is just an average number & 'guesstimate'

...this is calculated @ 10psi with cams @ 0degrees.

with more than double the boost & tuned cams it 'should' piss in over 400awkw :blink:

now where's that flux capacity & white coat!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
