Hey Im after a set of forgies for my Rb30/25 conversion whats happening with the order. Let me know. Ive been in touch with the people at rocket who stock the Aries forged pistons and they need both hands to find their own asses. I spoke to three different guys and got three different prices from $1047 to $1205 and they said theyed be in next week , early April maybe ??? Making further enquires the Aries pistons tend to have failure problems after 24 lbs boost ??? Jnr24 what kind of rings do the Weiscos come with are the ductile iron or chromemolly ? Im pretty keen to move on these if they are the right ones as my Rb 25 is on it s last legs. I got just about every thing else ready to go and the pistons are holding me up !

Thanks Dude

Trev;

Ive noticed some discrepencies in the Wiseco cattle dog In the Rb30 section the rod length in inches is wrong(if you divide the mm rod length into inches you get a different number) But the most concerning thing is in the Rb 25 section where the dome volume is stated as 14(I assume cc's) but if you look at the note at the extreme right the kit number is coded with a 1,2 notes number. If you go to the very bottom of the page you'll see the 1 coding is of not much concern but the 2 coding states that the piston is a flatop with no flycuts for the valves???? That aint gonna work. Any chance you can email them for clarifcation ?

Let us know

Peter

Hey Peter,

My engine builder has built a few of these RB30DET's using the wiseco RB25DET pistons (K578M865) is the kit number.

The last engine he built made 470hp@wheels with a GT30 turbo. To me it looks like they work :P

-Dave-

Dave your alive! :P

Allthough he has used these pistons in a RB30, did it have a RB25 head?

If you dont mind me asking, can you PM me you engine builders number? I just need to talk to someone who has used these pistons.

P.S Are you in for this friday?

Cheers dave,

Trev

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
