Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[SABBAi]

Great stuff Ben. Car looks fantastic. Very solid power numbers also. Goes to show you don't need a TD06 and fancy manifolds to make that sort of power

[DJRIFT]

just picked it up from the dyno, it made 263rwkw

all in the plenum i heard.

[sav man]

now with dyno sheets

[Lonewolf1983]

seems pretty laggy, but I guess it doesnt really matter for a circuit only car

[sav man]

It drives heaps better than the graph looks suprisingly

[SimonR32]

Looks like my old RB20 graph, they seem to hit a brick ceiling of power... Clearly a restriction, I wonder what it is?!?

[sav man]

it would be the RB20 highflow turbo

seems pretty laggy, but I guess it doesnt really matter for a circuit only car

really? I wouldn't call it laggy. it reaches 260kw at 5,500rpm and holds it to redline. that's a pretty nice bit of power for a little 2L.

It's coming on hard from 4,500 onwards and is very strong by 5,000. so as long as you can keep it above 4,500rpm it will be hauling ass!

[sav man]

dad was pretty sad, as his new 'fancy' sti spec-c only made 220kw at all four.

[Lonewolf1983]

I call 1bar @ more than 5000rpm laggy, but thats just me

and yeah doesnt make a difference on the circuit as long as its kept over that sweet spot!

[BOZ22N]

what are you in ryan?

Good power , i am the service crew for 414

[Duncan]

lol i have r32 n1s turbos......i call that perfectly normal

[sav man]

The R33 N1 had a dyno response curve just like mine, but mine is much more responsive on the road, probably cause it's lugging around 200-300kg less

[sav man]

Well after Targa I think it's time to get a gated sump after i ran a bearing the night before the event. I'm also going to rethink the breather setup to stop it blowing oil out of the breathers all the time, and last of all put some cam gears on to improve response.

I gained some motivation today, put the dead engine on the engine stand, and drained the oil out. There more than an acceptible amount of bearing on my magnetec sump plug. But I ran out of motivation when it got time to remove the sump.

Some incar from targa

Nice vids...seems E85 is the way to go

Cant have everything in this world, and you dont make 260+rwkws from an RB20 unless you move the power band up over 4,5000rpm!

You so can have everything... You just need to shoe horn a V8 in with twin turbos...

So what were you doing the night before the event to spin a bearing and call oil surge issues?

[sav man]

Was at Baskerville raceway. I've now been over the datalogs, and the oil pressure keeps dropping to 0psi under brakes (didn't for targa though)

The lag wouldn't have been a problem if I was able to rev to 8000rpm, but the new engine had issues to prevent that, so I lost 1000rpm off the powerband.

Top job at the railway crossing/dip think you were one out of only three cars that kept it pinned through there and the only car that produced sparks
