Well the engine builders don't think it's the sleeves as they don't protrude, and a new head gasket went in 2 days ago. Head was also just faced up when I removed it to fix a minor oil leak. It's very odd... and super frustrating.

This is the third headgasket to go into it now (original, second as a precaution after one of the valves was found to be 3mm longer than the rest and head removed, then this one a few days ago), head has been off twice, and entire engine out twice. A buggered oil pump: fixed... then a longer valve: fixed... minor oil leak from head: fixed... then what we thought was a leaking headgasket: fixed... and now milky oil :(

Just had it tuned at 285rwkw's @ 20psi and didn't even get to use it!

Where is your car these days Matt?

Dane, every time i start thinking engine rebuild for more power stories like yours scare me and i will stick with my 240rwkws odd

Crate engines mate.... Crane engines...

Nice power figure! Sounds like a weapon.. what's it weigh now?? If it's around 1200kg it would be super fast! Do you have a dyno graph to share... I'm interested in SR20 power curves..

I wouldn't know Matt, I haven't driven it!

I'd say it weighs in around the 1100-1150kg mark with everything taken out, but the cage added in. But I'll get it weighed soon enough once it's working. It felt pretty quick on the 250 or so rwkw's I ran ever so briefly at Sandown so 285 sounds promising.

Graph attached mate. It lost some power through the mid range with the cam timing change from it's initial Winton-last-minute tune, but gained a heap up top. Boost response is identical to what it was with 240rwkw's, and on the same boost level it makes a 45rwkw gain. It's also running 11.4 AFR's as we had a boost leak at the injectors so were running on the safe side in case they decided to seal up while I was running, so there should be a bit more in it at the same boost level.

Troy: Stay with the 240 mate. This was not worth the expense and hassles, despite the nice figure. I'm sure it will be great when it's all sorted but I could have been racing this whole time and that I won't get back.

But as Russ said, if I were to do it again I'd buy a crate engine.

Shall do mate. I'm heading there tomorrow so I'll ask him then.

I'd say yours makes more power across a broader range at the moment. I think once the boost leak is sorted it will improve a lot though but we'll see.

lol ya. came into the left hander, the pfc hand controller cut out. was like WTF! so wasnt concentrating and go into

the marbles i think. then went into the right hander and the back went on me.

skip into 3:00

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
