Just got my car road tuned before the dyno with 740cc deatchwerks, in hind sight they might have been too big for my application (rb25 neo with 250kw highflow)

I went from a crappy magnaflow reg with 440cs to a stock rail, reg with the 740s and the car started stone cold first go, ironically it idled and low load was actually better with it untuned than it ever used to be, starts every time with no throttle.

Anyway got Pete at Nistune to do a road tune with them to make sure there weren't any major issues before the dyno, unfortunately due to their size we had to play with the k factor a fair bit to get enough resolution to get the AFRs above 10:1 in the top end, this in turn meant my idle and low load suffered a bit, though with lots of tweaking the latency and making sure the O2 was set up correctly got it as good as it was before, able to mantain stoich idle and get it up to 11.5:1 in the top end with enough resolution to still tweak it further.

The real test will be when we get it properly tuned on the dyno and see what sort of economy I get, it is fairly poor at the moment but the tune was just a "good enough" one before getting on the dyno.

Pete was very sceptical of them being able to work with the nistune and get the low load/idle/cold start working properly but when he saw how well they worked was quite surprised, even more so that they worked with no tweaking at all from my previous setup. Will report back when I get the full tune done and do some testing to see what fuel economy is like.

Now has bilsteins and whiteline springs from one of sydneykids packages, got it 2nd hand with only 10,000kms on the, such an improvement over the frankenstein stuff I had before, rides better, less bouncing, stiffer and much more neutral handling now.

Retuned tonight and made ~260kw on 16psi, we ran it up on 19psi but it would drop back down to 16psi anyway and didn't make that much more midrange so left it on 16 for a nice safe tune. Added some fuel after these curves which dropped it to about 255kw, peak torque from 3-7k, amazing powerband, incredible to drive, drives like a stock rb25det with 260kw!! Makes 5psi by 1800rpm and 10psi by 2800rpm

Added coolant temp fuel and ignition trim tables so it should be super safe if it gets hot in summer

It's very interesting comparing our dyno curves Rolls. Despite the same peak power and our turbos both being highflows (albeit from different manufacturers), they are very different all over the place. Will post a graph later.

In fact, your graph doesn't even look like a turbo graph, it's much more linear looking. You have a fair bit more low end response than me, it gets on boost faster, but then I take over for the mid range and make my 258rwkw earlier on @ 5750rpm. Meanwhile, yours makes what is basically peak power ~500rpm later...but yours continues this all the way to redline as mine drops off. Be interesting to drive both and compare the feel, though it's a shame your engine is sitting in a different chassis lol.

I put it down to having a neo, with the old r33 rb25 it made peak power of ~240rwkw at 6250rpm on 18psi and then died off, neo head just seems to flow so much better that it makes more power on 16psi

Drives extremely linearly as well, barely even feels like a turbo

eboost street, really neat device, had to add loads of correction to get it to hold flat boost, 25% more gain between 4 and 7k, wouldn't be able to get it flat without it.

Yeah I think even a laggier turbo could make 200kw at 4000rpm because even a 300kw turbo is usually mostly on boost by 4k, it wouldn't be as linear or nice to drive on the street, for the track it would work though.

I really need some new tyres though, took it for a spin in the cold weather, even at 50% throttle with a full tank of petrol and people in the car second won't hook up, I think my diff opening up is a big contributor though. That will learn me for having 1 year old rock hard federals on there.

Just wondering if you ever did get those Dw injectors flow tested locally?

No I didn't unfortunately, though they do come with pretty comprehensive flow tests from the factory, I can't see any reason why they would lie.

On grandfinal day/school holidays/long weekend I moved my car out of the garage at about 5am as I didn't want it to get boxed in when my house mate got home (she was working all night) anyway about 630am some f**kwits pulled up in a car, one guy jumped out smashed the rear windshield, kicked the side of the car in and keyed the whole right side, boot and roof down to the metal.

Had to claim on insurance which was unfortunately a $1500 excess, $6k of damage luckily it is insured for ~$11k so they are repairing it, full respray apart from the left hand side which was scratched when an old lady merged into me last year and they have already resprayed.

Kind of shitty to happen now as I didn't really want to fork out $1500, but it means I will have a completely resprayed car, hopefully get it back in a few weeks time.

when you put the neo in with the older model gearbox what clutch and flywheel did you use? were you able to use the clutch and flywheel off the old 25?

As far as I know rb20/25/26 clutches and flywheels are all the same anyway, but I used my old rb20 clutch and flywheel as the neo motor was an auto with a flex plate.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
