Car broke on the dyno this afternoon. Valve spring...

It made 460hp on 14psi before it broke. Obviously a lot of room left in it and the turbo was hardly awake at that boost level

Ahhh crap man!

460hp @ 14psi is amazing though.

Feel for ya Scottie I really do.

Hopefully that's all that's broken and that it can be fixed speedily

Hey Lith, currently its problem after problem. Long story short. It got back on the Dyno and burnt out an exhaust valve. Off the head came and has been sent away for some work. There has been some damage done to the guides as well. Head should be back to the tuner early next week and he has some seals to go in it also. Once thats done it s back on the dyno...

Its been a trying few weeks to say the least.

Man that's terrible luck :( I hope things start going a bit smoother from now on!

Car was finally ready Wednesday last week. Figure at this stage is 512rwhp on 18psi. Richard didnt want to push it too much as he didnt want to box to break. After the last 3 months of $$ spending I'm just happy to get it back on the road. Once i can afford to replace the gearbox then I will wind up the boost and see what it an really make. The torque in this thing is impressive

At this boost level the turbo still has a lot of room left in it.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
