looking to have about 600hp at the wheels hopefully, dont know how much power loss ill have to the ground with an all wheel drive, anyone care to shed some light?

the t04z is rated to about 700+hp, but i dont want it to be too laggy, im after a balance of power and response maybe leaning a bit towards the power side, if it doesnt work out ill change to setup

As the TO4z is supposed to perform similar to a pair of GTRS's, it would be fairly safe to say it will start making boost below 2000 rpm, have a good .4 bar by 2500 and achieve full boost by 3800-4000. The right cams and head porting + tune will make this even more responsive.

Hi Guys

I know its been like a year since ive posted anything... just wanted to let you know that things are still going ahead but just shitloads slower than i thought it would, ive been busy working and the engine builder has also had other commitments and hasnt quite finished it yet, he assures me it will be done within the next few months and i dont really want anyone else building this motor so all i can do is wait. I Spoke to him a week ago and he said the block and head is at the machine shop.

Ive boaght a set of TE37 SL among other things a week ago so i thought i would post that up

Noticed you're in Perth, mind if I ask who is building the motor???

+1

ill be watching this this is hopefully goin to be my next project

good luck with the build hopefully it will be finished soon

yeh the SL look really good pretty pleased with them, as for the drag car last time i seen it was at motorvation, its a 3.0 aswell but havnt seen it for a while now and i dont know the latest time

still waiting on engine builder, he has been so busy with other stuff its annoying, spoke to him yesterday and he said all the machining was done and the head is complete, he basically has to put it all together and take it all apart again then put it all together again.

he builds these engines in his spare time, he basically told me he used to do it for a living but there's no money in it so he does it on the side, and he also looks after drag cars so if they break or need attention that goes to the top of his list

THAT is why this is taking so long ><

I have everything i need except for this motor so as soon as it arrives...

No money in it :mellow:

My mates engine builder (I thought you may have been getting him to do it, that's why I asked earlier) is absolutely rolling in it haha. Very very very busy though. Anyway, I understand how frustrating it is waiting on other people! Looking forward to seeing progress though :thumbsup:

Well either way he puts these engines together at his house, he still relies on his friends in the industry as he doesnt have the machines to do the jobs a workshop can, so they take time but also gets the work done at a very good price and still very proffesional

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
