they seem all really good prices for what your getting except the engine mounts considering i only paid 50 bucks for new set here in aus...

and rolls you don't need stock wheels to get through regency i went through with my keiichi tsuchiya modia's 17x8 on front 17x9's on the rear as long as your on track or under your fine... mine were even sticking the slightest bit out the guard and i only mean just but i got away with it hehe :whistling:

I did forget about the injectors, 440cc 7mgte supra injectors for 100.

You are doing all this head work and talking about cams for response etc...but you want to run a hx35 truck turbo and the cast manifold?

why?

To the OP.

While I love doing things different, there is a reason why many people say stay away from building the RB20,

Hell even Roy who loves his RB20 to bits and i'm sure he sleeps curled up on the cam covers he hasnt pulled his out and built it. The reason being is that for the max 300rwkws that a 20 head will make the standard rods and slugs are perfectly fine.

If you are concerned about the engine being a little tired than just throw some new rings and bearings in it, a good oil pump and be done.

Total cost if you cant do it yourself would be 1500 bucks, and will live for 5+ years if you look after it.

Consider what the bump in compression is going to do to the response. I have shaved about .050 off the head, this should give me about 9.2-1. I have the 8 blade hx35 so it spools faster then the 7, and am getting a 3 angle valve job. It may not have the best response, but I think 7psi at a hair over 3k is posible. On 7psi I should be in the 300whp range. I will take that all day long.......

You are right, the issue is 95% of peoples rims are over track or the offest it wrong, also people put mismatched skinny tyres etc etc on them. Much easier to just keep a set of stockies for regency trips.

yeah true what's hilarious is mine had the rolled tires on as well and looked exactly as it does in my avatar it looked like a total boy racer car lol and i should note i also had my 5'' cannon on the back :w00t: and tinted rear indicators it looked like a total hoon drift car but it all got through haha :thumbsup:

  • 3 weeks later...

I got the head back and started woring on it. I also put in for some arp studs.

I have almost finished on the ex side. All I did was remove the bump caused by the stud and smooth everything out. Going to do a little more to the in side, but not a whole lot. Mainly clean up, but I do plan on softening the splitter in the port. I will try to get pics up as soon as I can.

No flow testing, I just dont have the time or money to get it tested. I have had a few guys looking at the head, from what they have said I should see a pump across the power band and a slightly faster spool. This is based on only making the splitter on the intake side a little smaller, and removing a little from around the exhaust valve stem and the stud hump. Both sides get a smoothing out. I dont think I will see big gains from this, but I should see some. I think I will see 7psi (hx35) at just over 3k, and 15psi at just over 4k. Thats 4500rpms at full low boost and 3500rpms at 15psi. I am thinking about 22psi, but want to get this thing going good on 7-15 first. I dont want to push it too soon.

    • 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.
