I don't think it's a case of how long it will last, moreso how it will break. We pulled the head off on the weekend, pistons were absolutely mint, no detonation marks at all.

We're thinking it will be conrod or gudgeon pin related when it fails. Either way we're looking forward to seeing how.

It is our development car, and we have a BC 2.2L bottom end assembled ready to go when it goes boom!

As mentioned previously, we will offer free tuning to a donor RB25DET owner wanting to put one on a 5557 purchased from us. Don't be shy guys :verymad: If we had an RB25 as one of our project cars it would be on it!

Other side of Australia so no chance of that haha

What are the housing sizes on these things like, I assume you would need a spacer to bolt onto a standard RB25 manifold?

I tried (not to that extent) with my 3037S with a 1.12 a/r rear. It made 376kW on 25psi on my SR, we didn't got further as the boost line started to fall. I think that all I would have been doing is overspooling it.

Very interested to see the mode of failure when it does go, could you post a thread up for all of us to see if (when) it does fail?

Wow, good offer kemp, someone should take up on this offer :D

Just to let you know guys, we are now offering the 62 and 67 range with divided split pulse T4 housings. This is something new from Precision, I'm sure it will make it a lot more attractive for some of you with twin scroll setups! We have .84 in stock and are able to offer 1.00 and .70

We supply the whole billet range from the 5557 to 6765 comes with a 0.70 a/r comp cover, however we can special order the non ported covers which have a 2.8" intake, as far as I'm aware they are a 0.60a/r front, similar to a 3076R in size.

Well after some Friday arvo beers I managed to Gee the boss up pretty hard, basically I stressed that there was no point in us going out to get kicked off for a mid 10, let's try to run a 9....

So, I came back around 30 seconds later with a 6262SP in hand and it didn't take much convincing. Friday was a party here at Powertune, music cranking, cashews, chips, and within a very short time the turbo was on and the Red Dragon was getting reversed onto the rollers.

Had a solid 5 passes on the dyno, but we knew the 6262 needed a bit more boost to get it in the zone, though 45psi didn't agree with something in the engine! It filled number 2 and 3 with water so we're thinking it's either lifted the head again or cracked the block around a water jacket.

Anyway, I've rocked up here this morning and the engine is out, and 2.2L stroker in ready to go, in fact they're finish up the install of the built engine now with the 6262SP on. Get ready for round 2 :)

We were getting frustrated with it living :)

The other passes were on a lower boost setting

Well it copped the initial load, then unleashed the tyres with 3 of us in the back which it has never done, it did hold 45psi flat though.

It would have definitely been over 430kW, I'd say 450kW at a guess. Sadly we'll never know!

Will keep you updated when we crack it open to find out the truth

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
