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!

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.

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

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!

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... :D

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

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.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
