So how did it go?

[Noddy]

suspension is good, engine needs proper tune

[Noddy]

So, the Black street car is going on the dyno on Friday, and will probably be there for the majority of next week. My tuner is a 1 man show and can take a while to get it done. That said he does a dam fine job and I don't mind.

The Yellow race car is ready to get started on. It is getting a new motor, box diff and suspension. The motor is well underway, a 26/30. The head has been ported, 1mm oversize valves, up spec springs, short skirt buckets and HKS type 2 cams with old school HKS cam gears. I have 3 blocks and cranks to choose from. All 3 blocks will be getting basic preparation, acid bath, bore, hone, deck and bore squirter seats n holes machined. I will be Grout filling the block to the welsh plugs to help control the warp that is common with these things. They tend to split down the welsh plug line under load, about the 650-700bhp mark. Guess where I'm aiming for?

The crank is a std RB30 item. We are looking at doing some offset grinding. Knife edging, enlarged galleries, grub-screws, match grinding and balancing. I think Spool rods with ACL race series positions and bearings will be next on the shopping list. Stay tuned for pics. Might be a week or so.

Sounds like you are getting serious with it now.

Good stuff

[Noddy]

Yeh, time to step up a notch.

I'm planing on using a 3 stage drysump setup. Looking at making it the same as a friend has on his 25/30.

[zebra]

Sounds good,

Ill be watching and pinching ideas lol

[TiTAN]

mmm dry sump.

Where are you picking up the oil from in the engine with the setup? (3 stage is 1x out 2x in yea?) front and rear of the engine?

[Noddy]

Yeh, I think so. That is some thing I need to look into down the line.

[Noddy]

hehehehe I know it isn't specific to any build, but, new toy moment! There is a lot of love in the shed.

[TiTAN]

i want one. how much does a 2 poster like that set someone back?

[Noddy]

I got it for under $3500 delivered/installed, $2800 on it own. If anyone wants contact details I can dig them up pretty easy.

[Craved]

240V or 415V?

got all the required locks etc on them to stop them dropping? been looking around a bit and that price is pretty good for a new unit for 4.5t

[r33_racer]

The new engine build sounds wild Noddy!

That hoist would help a shit load! Im super jealous.

I can give you a few ideas with the sump if you like... What sort of pump you looking at?

Yes they have Chris, Dan has one as his second hoist in the workshop and they are the real deal.

[OMGR33]

looks toughhh

[Noddy]

Michael, I'm surprised you don't have a hoist. Will pm about pump/oil setup. I have been tooking at Cammo Hill's setup.

Chris, yes it has drop locks and arm locks that disengage when it comes down. It is 240V 10A single phase. we have used the hoist heaps already this week. Skyline, Falcon and ceilca have all had a ride or two.

I have been trying to tune the Skyline for the last couple of weeks. First issue was that the 9 pin serial cable had been damaged and need a new 1. that took a while, turns out it is not a normal straight through cable, it's a 232 null modem cable. same as an AIM dash.

A new cable in and it was just a matter of gettin on th dyno. There has been a bizarre boost issue, apart from it tailing off it would flutter around 4500 up making tuning hard. We use a live trace to identify exactly where to make changes....... it was all over th place. We data logged a ramp and found the boost pulsating from 14.8 down to the 9's and back again several times a sec. We changed map positions on the plenum a few times, even tried a different EMS ecu! went back to the original spot and it was fine????

So with the flutter mysteriously clearing up, the boost drop was still a serious issue. 14psi dropping to 8.5, why? Boost controller? By elliminating it and just running waste gate psi? still dropped 10 to 7.8 psi. Ran a ramp with a reading at the turbo\wastegate, 12psi, climbing slightly to 12.5 psi. Was there a rag left in a pipe? Short answer, no. We did just run a pipe in place of the intercooler, 11.5 psi in the plenum.

Now there is a new intercooler in and goes back to the dyno, again, tomorrow.

[r33_racer]

A hoist is something that has been argued about many times...if only we did have one!

I like how you guys go eliminating problems step by step. No guessing or mucking around.

Hopefully you get it all sorted out.

[Noddy]

Thanks mate, we try and make sure we find the real problem before going silly fixing/improvingthe situation.

Dyno man was busy today, but Monday/Tuesday is looking good. I just want to be able to get out for a serious days testing on Wed at Morgan to be ready for the weekends racing in Stanthorpe. Any one comming for a play on wed?
