I hope to run my RB30/RB26 up over the weekend to check it runs and iron out any leaks that may occur. I wanted to know if I will be safe running it on the RB26 Apexi ECU base map or if I need to tweak some fuel settings to be safe? I have a hand controller. No datalogit. The engine has 700cc Sard injectors which I can plug into the hand controller and I am leaving it on stock MAF's for now. I have Q45's to put on but I gather they are a little tricky to work with on an RB26 ECU as they are not an option. Anyway that is a different thread all together.

If I can change some settings to richen it up a bit I would appreciate some brief instructions. alternatively if there is a self learn function that will work for the idle please let me know.

Thank you

Dude, I spoke to you on GTR UK....

I will help you get your car in a running state to take to your tuner. After i am finised with it you will be able to drive it and not have to trailer it..

Add me to MSN like i suggest on gtr.co.uk

We will sort it out.

If you need a decent tuner, I am for hire and not very far away ATM

Hi there Anthony,

I had a hectic weekend and didn't quite get where I wanted to hence I have not been in touch. I will add you to my MSN tonight with any luck and have a chat. Thanks again. I guess you are no in Australia at present then?!

Regards

Lee

Don't mean to be negative but unless you know what your doing (I don't mean fuel air spark. I mean knock, degree's, temp, fuel pressure, reading plugs and hearing the slightest ping/miss) then don't play with your hand controller. Performance engines are very fragile in the wrong hands and temptation to take out some fuel or add some timing so you can put your foot down just half way is always going to end badly if something else is already playing up that you don't know about. Set the controller to view knock, temp and oil pressure and be ready to turn off the key if your playing with it yourself.

Trust me. I Have no intention of playing with it myself! Purely want to start it up and make sure it runs okay and has no big leaks! Aims is to richen my base map to be double safe for the few seconds it will be running!

Thank you for the warning though.

i put a stock power fc on my rb2530

the base map was perfect!*

went hard and fuel was spot on

*this is a massive fluke

I ran my 25/30 on a stock RB20 ECU for a few months with no dramas. Stock afm was maxing out about 6000rpm but because the 25 turbo was choking the engine at 5800rpm it wasn't really an issue.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.

      Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine

      Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
