that's probably gotta take the record for most EPIC build thread ever????

just spent about an hour reading random parts of this thread. i could never match his dedication to his car. absolutely incredible attention to detail! it does kinda show that even if you put massive bucks and countless hours into hotting up your L-series motor you still get problems and not a lot of satisfaction (his words not mine!). and yes i know that will offend some viewers lol. if my c210 coupe was gunna get a power increase at the wheels, it would be coming from an RB conversion and nothing else. just my opinion :-)

If you crunch the right numbers and do the research first, most to all of the problems he had will not be there in the first place.

eg. Just on the cam & lash pad problem he had:

I'm using N42 length valves (ex USA) in my P90 head, but as I'm using a factory reground cam and the core diameter is smaller, the valve length is never going to be an issue. The after market new billets break to easily & therefore a factory re worked cam is by far, much better.

The bottom line in any rebuild is DO THE RESEARCH FIRST then you can do the job right the first time.

I'm looking at over 600Nm @ about 4500rpm on less than 10psi boost from my L Series. I would like to see the $$$$$ figure getting that from your RB, because I did the research for that some time back as well.

Far too many rebuilds have breakage lists and I don't plan on having one of them at all.

Cheers, D

Ahh, so you bought Jash's car? Awesome project :bunny: The KGC10 build thread on PF is my car, whaddya need to know, Denzo? :(

Oh and btw the issues I had with the L-series were 99% casued by the person who built it in Japan. We ended up starting from scratch, and the cylinder head was redone by Knight Engines in Adelaide, and Nathan did the bottom end and assembly. Ran sweet as a nut after that. Puts out 190rwhp and sounds great, so yeah I'm happy with it.

I dunno if it's gonna be the same in WA, but in NSW the engo accepted that Klippan non-inertia reel seatbelts were okay, front and rear.

At the back, you'll find that the c-pillar sheetmetal and floorpan will already have seat belt mountings behind the trim

At the front, it's just the regular Klippan kit, but with the longest available stalk buckle (i think 450mm, cos the mount is so far back on the tunnel).

Umm...apart from seatbelts, I think I didn't have to change or add anything else for rego/engo. Tail lights and indicators (which blink red) were ok for the age of the car.

I think the only hassles I had on rego were things like noise and ride height :)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
