I was driving on the RS-R tyre the other day and I cant believe how grippy they are and how well they hung in there after 10minutes of understeering-over driving and our braking myself, ie they would have been way hot!

Shame I cant update the lap times in the Motorsport section, only Admin people can go back and update now :)

I forgot to get the print out when I was ther last, will grab it when the wolf goes in, plenty of scope for the Turbo left, can run the thing at 24-26psi I have been told by garrett & MTQ

I wont be using that much boost until I forge the motor tho, & even then I will probably be happy with 300-320rwhp as it is only a 2L & it goes like hell now with 280-ish @ 15psi & that should 300+ be with around 18-20psi

RB25Det NEO Engine/GBox/ECU has just been fitted & Mod Plated into the Lil War Machine :) so she is no longer a humble RB20.

Pushed the old gurl a little too hard at the last Time Attack Raceday & busted the Engine big-time. Cylinder 6 held compression when cold & leakdown test but as soon as the engine warmed up all sorts of nonsense started-loss in compression & leakdown failure. The engine idled rougher than a hairy goat.

So after careful deliberation & pondering what engine to replace the 20 with (ie 25, 26 or 25Neo) I decided on the RB25DET Neo Motor & Gearbox option-due to more modern tech & parts availability for future rebuilds.

Engine & Gearbox is installed & runs like a dream. Much fatter torque curve down low & with all the ancillary mods around it we got a respectible 222.9rwhp out of the Stock Neo trim with increased fuel pressure(pump®).

Big plans are in mix for her now with larger Turbo, Seimens injectors & that Wolf ECU I have lying around here somewhere. Also a half cage just to keep things relatively safe in cabin for the nutcase driver too :)

Overall goal is 350rwhp & final upgrade of Wolf V4 to a Wolf V550 as to run 2 fuel maps (98Ron & E85) perhaps to around 400-450Rwhp.

Only minors to fix like leaky power steering pump & we will soon see it back to bedlam mwahahaha.thumbsup.gif

use the mounts that come with the engine. they will sit the engine in the right spot. I did the same with mine.

todd ,

need to go for a strap with in it at some point.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
