rob at rips is running an rb26/30 with factory block and crank making over 1350hp in his 7sec car, he is actually trying to break it but he said it just wont, this engine was built about 3yrs ago :laugh: if its good for rips its good for me

paul is right, its a street driven car

a 26 block is better then a rb30 talking about the block here not the crank size but you guys will be seeing alot more rd28 set ups with 3.4 cranks soon enough

What a great idea an RD28 block would be....an extra 40kg over the front axle on the already front heavy GTR, plus the 5 grands worth of block prep needed to make it fit.

As Marko said its a street car and theres nothing wrong with the dirty 30.

We need vids Marko!

lol - i couldnt agree anymore!

re. the vids...it wont be long, i have a new sony handycam hd which i need to put to the test, it has a youtube upload function :angry:

i replotted my 3rd and 4th gear over each other last night and it looks nothing like that...one line is just under the other...ill scan it for you if you like.

clearly both these runs were conducted in the same gear... the dyno operator has just made a mistake and not entered the right gear into the program

you would be ignorant to think otherwise ;)

Mmmmmmmm, not sure about that mate, we've done back to back dyno runs in 4th and 5th gear and got almost identicle power curves, within 3-5whp or so.

Remember that we are assuming the power loss (drive train and traction) between the gears are constant with these discussion. Obviously if they read the same at every single vehicle speed, it just means that you lost power in one of the run.

That is completely different to comparing response between a 3rd gear power run with another 4th gear power run.

Or in some case, I've seen people compare 2 different cars.

Why did I get drag into dyno comparison talk in the first place. Dyno is just a tuning tool :whistling:

the curves will be the same basic shape but when speed is the bottom axis there is no way one of those runs could be in 3rd and one in 4th.... doing the run in different gears moves the curve along the graph. so the lower the gear of course it will make more power at a given km/h. peak power should be the same, but not at the same speed in every gear. otherwise you'd have a gearbox full of the same gears!

BINGO :):);)

glad someone else has a brain !!!

Apoligies for giving an example with someones name in it...that was maybe a little too much. (mods please edit name out)

Calling my engine a drag engine is like me calling yours one.

Show me an aussie built RB 30 thats so much more outstanding than what ive got. Im building one to see what all the fuss is about and see if it will actually make what ive already got better. I think the big turbo may enjoy a bit more air...so we will see what just changing the bottom end will achieve.

You were off the mark refering to my engine as a drag engine 9K...that was the point...you have no idea what went into it and how it was put together. The focus when building was to make the engine make as much low down grunt (torque) as possible with the GT-RS turbo's. The reason for this is im making zero boost at the startline as i was using a normal Power FC with no anti-lag, two step etc. When the clutch was popped the car had to be right in the meat of its torque curve pulling the car hard off the line. This resulted in the awesome 60' times which was the real secret in getting a car with limited power into the 9's...it was 60'ing faster than Kier's car with less power and more weight (1470kg) and it didn't need an OS Giken 3L to do this. Only Mark Jacobsen has 60'd a GTR on radials faster than what our car has. A high revving RB26 that has a big flat 5000rpm torque curve is what most circuit guys would kill to have.

Thanks

Paul,

What 60' Times were you getting to get into the 9s with that set-up?

I have a quick question about the Garrett turbo range.

Someone said that the GT-RS (GT2871R 52T i.e. -10's) turbos are still too laggy on the a 3 litre. What i was wondering is if anyone has used the smaller of the GT2871R turbos (the 48 trim) on either a 26 or 30.

They are placed in the middle of the GT28RS (-5) and the GT2871R 52T (-10) yet i have not seen anyone using them, it seems when people want a bigger turbo than a -5 they go straight to the -10, when the 48T is also an option.

This is the turbo i'm talking about, obviously it will need a custom compressor housing.

come to think of it - mark berrys hi octane r32gtr with rb26 was running gcg modified garrett -5s which cracked over 400awkw as shown on the ignition dvd:

im not sure if he is running the same turbine setup on his new rb30 r34gtr:

...maybe somebody like beerbaron would know this as i think he is well versed in the circuit racing scene

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
