Your going to need a fair bit more power to run consistant mid 12's from a 13... Id spend some time taking weight out of the thing first. Then a ethanol tune.

Or nitrous.

Agreed to an extend only given his current time of 13.30 @ 107 & 2.0 60ft is quite decent, so the OP can certainly pilot well enough.

If he can get the 60ft down to 1.7 with the ET Streets then he is looking at a 12.8 up the other end (or there abouts)

Get the 60ft down to 1.6 and then it'll be pretty close to 12.6-12.7

Not quite a 12.5 but it's not gonna be far off that marker.

Does anyone know the answer though, as far as to how much timing I can add at wide open throttle??

If only we could tell what timing we could put into setup changes without looking at a car... "more" is usually the answer, but really it needs to be tuned to suit to find out the amount. Possibly none at some points, and possibly several degrees at other points :)

What sare some of the fastest stock turbo RB25's that you all have seen out there??

How much timing can I add at full boost when going from 91 oct to vp 116???

I'm shooting for a mid 12 on 12 psi, stock turbo.

10.61 @ calder std engine.

E85 could work quite well, fyi 98RON we get in NZ and Oz is equivalent to 89MON :(

yeah maybe, but US fuel is not MON either. it's an average of MON and RON so their 91 is still not quite as good as our 98 but not as far off as most people think.

MON is tested under load. Someone do correct me if I'm wrong.

yeah kind of wrong. both RON and MON are a measurements of the fuels ability to resist knock on a test engine. MON is tested at a higher RPM that RON which makes it a bit more relevant in most peoples eyes (we are still talking very low rpm, like under 2,000). both tests run the fuel in a special test engine with variable compression till it knocks but the mon test is at higher rpm, with heated fuel and the also advance the ign timing. RON (and MON for that matter) is out of 100 as compared to the control 'octane'. however since some additives in fuel have better knock resistance than the control (iso-octane) you can get a number higher than 100.

US 91 AKI fuel is about 95 RON. our 98RON is about 94 AKI but there is no direct correlation between RON and MON. some substances will be as much as 20 or 30 points higher in RON vs MON, some will be only a few points apart and some (like the control octane) are actually equal in RON and MON.

if you want more info i'm sure there would be some fuel info site or even wiki or howstuffworks etc on this.

Yeah Wiki says 900rpm for MON and 600rpm for RON. Pretty low indeed.

Link for the lazy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

Some interesting reading, and will just lead to more google action if you wanted to know even more.

You are doing very well for the power level you have. The answer to your original question is to be found only on a dyno if you want to keep your engine in one piece. Your next mod should be an aftermarket computer - Link or Motec or whatever you can get tuned where you are.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
