Yeah man got it. Will hopefully let you know some info in the next couple of days.

Glad to hear your getting a bike Phil. Will definitly have to go for a ride when you get it.

Yeah I miss not having a bike. Very much looking forward to the R6 :)

What is peoples take on this, just got this done 20 mins ago.

The dyno operator mentioned that its running rich, I had an inclination towards this, but wanted to confirm my suspicions. Leaving flame work everywhere was a good indicator though.

What do the standard RB25 run as far as AFR levels?

Main question really, is it reasonably safe?

Car is running 10psi of boost.

RgVW7.jpg

is that on stock ECU?

10.5:1 is pretty rich, mine ran about 10:1 on stock ECU back in the day

around 12:1 is what you want (in short, its not as simple as 12:1 everywhere, but roughly that)

Its a good result if your running stock ECU, I made 141rwkw on 8psi with the stock ECU, hit R&R real bad on anything above that

Nah running Power FC

The dyno operator didn't sound keen about it being so rich and suggested a tune.....to the tune of $600

How 'un-safe' is it to be running as rich as this? Or is he just trying his charm on me?

Eventually I do want to run around the 12-14psi mark, already got a walbro, but first got to save up for the injectors.

Don't run 12-14psi through the stock RB25 turbo (It's the stock turbo yeah?) or you will blow out the exhaust wheel into the cat. Especially with it coming into summer.

If it is the stock turbo you don't need injectors at this stage.

That AFR on a Power FC definetely needs a tune.

I ran 12psi on stock turbo for over a year without any issues, but I know others that havent been so lucky, I'd stick to 11psi.

Its not un-safe to be running 10.5:1 AFR's, quite the opposite really (unless hes checked a bunch of timing at it)

See where your power starts to drop and notice that its also where your AFR jumps to 10.5:1 This is where you will be losing your peak power unless you have exhaust/intake restrictions or some other kind of issue. How does the plot for your boost look? (If they gave you a power vs boost graph)

If not and you want to know, the dyno run should be stored in there dynos computer and you will be able to go back and get them to print one out (assuming the plotted the boost, which they should have)

luck of the draw on turbo's but it's a timebomb IMO :)

Yep, stupidly rich. I'd almost say too rich, it would want to flood the chambers a bit.

Nice power though!!!

Keen as f**ken mustard to see the results of yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope unfortunately not. Have decided I shall be parting my car out (have allready began selling one or two things). At this point in time the money invested into that car can be better used so it has to be done. Never thought this day would come to be honest lol.

And yes Chris, you can have my title :P

:O

don't do it phil, you'll regret it.

:O

don't do it phil, you'll regret it.

I'll be sad to see it go. But gotta move on. House is the priority at the moment.

Robbo's right Phil you will regret it and you'll never make your money back.

Nah definetely won't make it back. However should get a decent amount back by parting it out. I've calculated what I should roughly get back in the parts that I have put onto it alone and it's a decent amount.

Parting out can make quite a lot back, I've done it before.... Time will tell :)

Phil - Carbon A Pillar + 2x52mm gauge pods able to get em?

The carbon A pillars might get ruined trying to take them off?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
