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.

just a wrecker bottom end, havn't broken the genuine nissan seal

this post says its a standard bottom end, pistons in the previous pictures of the bottom end look fairly standard and arent dome tops as i would expect in a high comp bottom end build.

no signs of a VCT mod that i can see (your "b-cam" was discussed before)

pictures of the head look to me like it has had a reasonable whack of meat taken off the bottom of it. if the car is running corn juice or race fuel only im thinking even higher than 10:1 11-12?

if thats not it at the moment im not sure what else it could be to give that big of a change

Looks like i'm going to put a bigger oil pump on. The head sounds like a box of hammers again, seems the restictor is too small for a hydro head. I've been told more oil pressure should fix it

You are all wrong. Us loyal to the RB20 know that if you have problems with the RB20 in your car....and you chose to replace it with another wrecker RB20....the Nissan gods ensure that the motor you get from a wrecker for $400 is special and will outperform the original engine. Its a proven formula. You stay loyal to the RB20....then there is an engine in a wrecker waiting for a new dad and the opportunity to give its all for its faithful owner.

ha you did you home work.

we initaly asumed that the rb20de with a comp ratio of 10.2:1 was all in the bottom end. but its all in the head. the pic of the head has had no major machining just a quick plane.

one of the local circuit guys has just had a det head machined to the equivilent to bens, while it has been readdembled it hasent been ran yet. so there seems to be no problems shaving a bit of the heads.

Yeh the RS500 manifold comes with ability to run 8 injectors and also runs a different elbow between plenum and throttle body. I am trying to hunt down the throttle body and elbow for mine now but cheapest I can find is $9-- :(

Where are you sourcing gears for the oil pump?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
