lol +1..

im pretty sure craig noticed a difference after the snip still

whistling.gifmaybe

onto other news I am sure as soon as I get this tune sorted this thing will rock out of the hole!!nyaanyaa.gif

Up for a Jaffa run!!!BAAAAHHHHHAAAA

Edited by Jetwreck

Got the Stagea back today after the bottom end rebuild

Home by 3pm, took a cpl hours to refit the front 324mm brake rotor kit

Yet to test the brakes since refitting. Engine purrs very nicely. Will run in the engine slowly over the next 6 weeks or so.

don't do it! run in the engine the same way you intend to use it.

with modern clearances you should run in a motor hard over the first 200-500klm. By then it is well and truely done.

In particular, don't allow it to idle. Once it is warm load it up hard. Little boost but as much load as you can do (long up hills). Vary the load point. Low boost so it's not over the top

Yeah I know, I ran in my old Fireblade 919cc engine nice and hard and that was a stomper once tuned with the flatslide carbies.

Recently ran in the rb26 engine via loading it up; will have that tuned when I can afford it (once house is sold). Buying the track car was a BIG mistake but admittedly Ive been mentally crazy over the past number of years (pain, medication).

What I actually meant with "slowly"was I'll only be doing small sessions of driving and the 1000kms will probably take me 6 weeks to get up to (builder/tuner advice was to make sure I do the 1000kms, whereas Id rather bring it in for new fluids and tune after 500kms). Boost is limited to 8psi currently. I'll be loading the engine when possible. 1st proper drive will be in the Hills sometime in the next couple days. Will take it up Willunga Hill rd a few times (big hill that features in the Tour Down Under cycle race).

Thanks for your suggestions mate; I'll be sure not to let it idle much. Just drove it 35kms home today; might go out shortly up a small hill and make sure the brake lines are clear from the rim edge - a couple of times now Ive stuffed up where Ive cable tied the lines and broke the metal tube line that goes into R32 gtst calipers...........

yeah my builder too for that matter, he wants 1500klm on it before oil change and full boost tune.

but frankly I've done a heap of motors over the years, always run them in hard, and never had a problem with bearings or rings bedding in. I think the workshops want to minimise risk and get a lot of klm on board, particularly to turn up any short term/bedding in issues.

I meant to add, the only problem I've ever had running in a motor was in the early days when the rings did not bed in well (compression was pretty poor after 1000klm). Turned out the bores had glazed due to overfueling early on (efi cars run richer when cold).

The engine guy spent a few hours on the dyno absolutely smashing it at full load and no boost and it came up good. Which was lucky because the other option was to pull the motor right down and hone it again

Lucky save, for sure.

Yeah with the position Im in now financially I cant afford for anything to go wrong. Putting all my eggs in the one basket, so to speak, by studying medical radiation science next year at Uni-SA in Adelaide. Been on the disability pension since June 08 and have used up all my savings; at the point where I cant afford the morgage any longer. Pretty much only regained my mental health 5 weeks ago when I took myself off my medication (fentanyl - 80x strength of heroin & literally sent me insane). Ive got a lot in front of me & just cant afford for anything to go wrong. Once the house sells I'll need all I get after the loan repayment & divorce split to get myself through Uni over the next 4, possibly 5, years.

Just went up'n'round a hill for a couple of minutes, brakes seem good. Forgot Ive got an 18psi actuator so no my boost isnt limited to 8psi; going to have to load up the engine carefully as I dont trust the tune just at this point - definately dont want it overfuelling with a whack of air pressure to boot. Greddy boost solonoid is removed but that'd mean its running off the actuator, going to have to be careful with how I go about it.

im down but only if Im tune.. should be though i only need a fuel reg and im set for a tune! no videos unless on a track lol

Sounds like a good thing. Still RB25?

What kind of power are you looking for?

lol im pretty sure craig has more track experience than probably anyone on here........ id do the dyno video

he'd kick my ass on a dyno for sure.. im only trying to push 220 out of this for the time being.. i'll wait for the turbo to die(s15 turbo still) and ill chuck a TD06L2 20G on. then i'll give him a proper run.

Slowest way around a corner :whistling:

actually its the fastest!

however the tyre wear is also the fastest lol

lol i've got flat spots on them after yesterdays asian driver who thought it was correct to cut in front of me and stop at 80kph might as well ruin them

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
