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!

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
