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 :P

now where's that flux capacity & white coat!

Seems like you've already got them on marko :blink:

Hi guys,

I had the car tuned yesterday @ CRD :banana:

Refer to attached graph, it made 405awkw @ 23psi with 930nm of torque (to put this into perspective, my previous rb26 on the same dyno & turbo's made 750nm)!

I asked jim what this equates to rwkw, he said about 445rwkw.

Rev limit is set at 9000rpm as jim stated that the engine just wants to keep revving, the above figures are based on 8500rpm (who said rb30's don't rev?)...reason for this, he wants me to avoid touching the limiter as he said its not the best thing for the engine.

It drives like an absolute weapon & what a difference the extra capacity makes, it really is phenomenal & to be honest I haven’t seen jim so excited about any of my past tunes & setups, he is a strong advocate of the rb30.

His words:

"you have the best combo for the street, the average torque increase is HUGE & will feel like an rb26 with 480awkw"

"wait till you drive it, it will be completely different to any gtr"

Something else he mentioned which I noticed was that the car was squirming from left/right on the dyno, the reason is due to torque steer which he has only seen on 1 other gtr with an OS Giken 3.0ltr with T51R & made 480awkw.

Jim wanted to go to 24psi but my actuators wouldn’t allow this as they are set @ 0.7bar, he suggested at this boost level it will make 415awkw.

currently @ 23psi he said it is very safe for hot days & has purposely ran it a bit richer.

My next step (if I want more power) is to run E85, upgrade to 1600cc injectors & run 1.2-1.5bar actuators. This will give me an average gain of 50awkw (i.e. over 450awkw)

He was very happy with the results considering the engine ran stock valves, intake plenum & throttle bodies.

He was very impressed with the way the engine performed on the dyno - all Kudo's to Greg @ ProEngines, thanks mate!

Nice result mate!

Always good to see a project end up with such a great result

You've inspired me to move $1k out of my "Holiday" fund into my "RB30" fund

She looks like she pulls nice and hard up top, what size Kelfords did you use?

Nice result, well done, that's a strong one Greg. What's the scale along the bottom of the dyno graph? RPM (1K to 10K) or KPH (0 to 200)? The 405 4wkw is around 675 bhp, so there should be plenty left in the 1000 cc injectors? Are you sure it will be necessary to go to 1600 cc's for E85? After all there is plenty of flow and pressure available from 2 x 044's, so lifting the fuel pressure is a no cost option if required.

Cheers

Gary

if anyone is contemplating on building an rb26/30 - just do it!

these gtr's were born to carry these torque monsters.

Mmm i seem to recall someone saying that (and a lot more) to you in a pub about a year ago....

thats what i thought greg :( more bling!

i was waiting for my 'gay request' to bite me on ass lol

I have to admit Marko, you're the first person I've done an engine for that's sent me an email saying "I know this may seem like a gay request..." I'm pretty accommodating but there are limits... :P

hey gary - the scale along the bottom is kph (0-200).

the fuel system is up to the task for e85, however, the 1000cc are @ 90% injector duty...e85 requires 30% more fuel & if i gain 50awkw i definitely need 1600s

I have to admit Marko, you're the first person I've done an engine for that's sent me an email saying "I know this may seem like a gay request..." I'm pretty accommodating but there are limits... :down:

well greg...u have given me as you quoted "a nice fat curve" (dont worry guys, im married)

are you serious? :down: theres gotta be something funky going on there somewhere caus it doesnt make sence. whats rail pressure set at?

I agree, 1000's should only be running at about 70% to make 400rwkw

forget the power levels guys...its torque that eats injector duty.

example...my old engine with 700cc jobbies could muster 450+ with headroom...new set-up with more torque had them maxed out at 450. The difference between the two engines was the completely different torque curve, one looked like a mountain peak...the other was flat and wide.

running indy blues at a reasonable duty cycle is a lot more sensible than trying to push the 1000's by upping the base on them.

well its about time somebody explained this on the thread & it actually makes sense, thanks TW.00.GL!

    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
