Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[woolls]

Yep entry is already in.

How easy does it stretch? ie does it go on and off easy, so you can work on the car?

When new, I just heated it up in hot water, was a bit tight but got them on in the end. Now, there is no issues with removing or putting them back on.

[sav man]

I got the hose and installed it today. Works very well, thanks for the heads up woolls. You coming up for the final round of the TSS?

No worries Ben,

I will be coming up, but only watching the final round, I have totaly stripped my bus to do a few things to it.

The car is back on the road again. It's been out for a few runs. Follewed the Nissan manual and ran the car at 4000rpm for 10mins to bleed the lifters... and it worked. while I was doing it, I was waiting for the valvetriain to come flying out the bonnet.

New engine feels good, heading the the tuners during the week for a tune.

[Marlin]

Funny you say that. Took a solid 10 to 15 mins for my lifters to bleed through too after we rebuilt the engine.

I too was awaiting a failure of some sort...... I wore eye protection they were so loud! haha

[sav man]

just got an mms from the tuner, the new engine looks the goods

compared to the one i blew up 2 days before targa

[Marlin]

What turbo is that Benny?

[sav man]

400HP RB20 highflow from billet turbochargers. I havn't changed the turbo

[Marlin]

Thats a good effort then!

The old engine was horrible! lol

[sav man]

The old engine wasn't that bad, the new engine is just that good

[SimonR32]

Something must have been wrong with the old set up... You can't gain 1200rpm of response with just a good engine

[Marlin]

Exactly.

if the compression was ok the cam timing or something must have been off.

[sav man]

secret squirrel stuff

[zebra]

its really an RB25

[sav man]

If I was going to the effort of cheating. I wouldn't be putting a shitty 25 in

[TiTAN]

quad cam alloy v8?

no Mr official sir that's what it came with from the factory?

[DJRIFT]

We dipped the block in Tasmanian water.

(if you've seen the boags draught adds)

[Roy]

E85? What boost you got up it?

Is it just a matter of 9.0:1 compression with a head shave, port clean up, boost and E85?

[sav man]

yep corn juice...the fuel of champions. Boost is 21psi, the combination graph lists boost on the right hand side.

Head is standard bar the exhaust ports

[DJRIFT]

if someone can work it out ill give them a prize.

a few hints.

old vs new graph. both e85 same turbo. same inlet.

less boost than last time.

that old graph is the engine that did a bearing before targa. the engine we did targa with had around 230 on the down hill sections.

And top marks to ben. hes built this engine all by him self. ive had other commitments so ive only been able to help here and there.
