Hey guys we have recently built a new engine for my drifter and we are having issues with the engine being very lazy, i'll list the details of the engine then I'll go into more detail about it's performance.

RB25 Block with 26 crank, rods and 0.5 mm oversized pistons, all factory nissan parts

Rb 25 Tomei poncams inlet and exhaust

Greddy plenum

750cc injectors

splitfire coils

6boost manifold with 3540 and 44mm tial gate

Power FC

With the new engine it makes 340Kw at the wheels on 20psi, though it doesnt feel like it, the old completely stock internaled had only 300kw at the wheels on the same boost but it felt crazy compared to the new one. The stock motor made 300kw by 4000 rpm and held it all the way to 8300, where as the new engine acts really strangely, it is making 15psi by 4000rpm but doesnt actually make any power till 5000 at the earliest.

We are thinking it might be a mismatch in the 25 cams to the extra capacity of the 26, we are going to try putting adjustable cams in it over the next few weeks, but other than that i have no idea how to fix the laziness of the engine.

The other issue we are having is after the car has been driven and is up to track temperature the lifters start to play up, they rattle really loudly and the engine starts to miss badly, we've put a 1.2mm restrictors into the oil feeds, could this be too much, the lifters never made any noise in the old engine.

Any help will be greatly appreciated cause it is well and truely doing my head in.

3540 has a .82 housing,

original engine made an almost flat power curve from around 4500 to the rev limit, so it probly made around the 280kw mark at 4000rpm, i dont have a copy of the dyno sheet, i might ring Rob at Creatd and get a copy for you. It was very savage power. But very fun.

is this wheel horsepower ?

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
