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!

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
