Rb25de (supercharged) Project


Recommended Posts

haha I'm here! Yeah, Noel and Mike are spot on. Im stretched a little thin atm. However I have fixed the issues I had on the dyno the first time. Its just a matter of getting time to go back to finish off the tuning. Currently fabricating a whole exhaust system on my old mans HR holden w/ stroked LS1 to 383CI, then I have my uncles 56' chevy to fit new 434CI stroked small block into and fab up exhaust system and fuel system. After that is Dads 57' chevy which a 632CI BBC with a 4L80e box to go into it and then exhaust system and fuel system to suit. The two Chevy's need to be done before April for a charity event we were hoping to attend at Harry's.

So my car has gone on the burner again until further notice unfortunately! If I get some time in the next couple of weeks I will attempt to get it tuned!

Sorry to say fellas that I ended up quitting on this. I did finish it and got it all going, but it was an absolute pig to drive. I couldn't get the change over from off boost to on boost with the bypass valve to work very well. I spent a fair bit of time trying different valves and setups trying to make it more drive-able. It was just taking too long to try and get it to a level where I would be happy with it.

My apologies for the disappointment peoples! If I had more free time and absolutely no social life or girlfriend then I would attempt to perfect it all, but this is just not feasible. I really hate to be a quitter...its killed me a little on the inside not being able to get it all to work how I was hoping. :(

Anyway. the car is on the back burner at the moment. The back up plan is to go to a big single and just pump out some laggy horsepower for fun.... of course when time presents itself!

How does every other supercharger in the world work then, they don't seem to have any fancy things to make them idle ok, do they all just have a low speed air bypass valve or something?

Even if you just wired a recirculation line with a very small bore eg 1/2 inch from the intake to the discharge this would recirculate air at idle and at high boost would only recirculate a little bit.

    • But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?

    • Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
    • Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful
