Building up a rb20det.

I have done some head work and shaved about .040 off to raise the comp ratio....... I hope they are not na, cause that might cause problems....

0.040?

I hope you have a good tuner and great fuel

Running stock cams, hx35, and tunning should be fun. I have 93 octain here in the states and can get my hands on race gas. If you see the way the head is made, you will see that shaving that much wont rais the comp up that much. I am looking for 9.0-9.5 to 1. I wont beable to run the same timing, but I wont need to. I should also see boost sooner now, and off boost power will be better.....

Do they sell methanol at the pump :)

Curious to see ur results. I have a rb25/30 here than has 1mm off the head but we will be running that N/A

The rb25 head will see a higher lift in compression when shaved. I am still cleaning the combustion chambers to avoid det from hot spots. Should be putting the head together in the next week or so. Then its on the block and in the car. I will be posting my results here.

Anyone know of any good tuning software that is free or cheap? I have a buddy that is going to lend me his tuning know how, but only uses an power fc right now. I am going to use a chip. I have romedit, just kinda looking to see if there is any more out there.

The EPROM isn't programmable from factory so you will need to install a Nistune or similar

I will be socketing the ecu and burning chips. I plan on using an emulator to tune and then burning a chip to use when not tuning..

No offense intended but why, we were burning chips 10 years ago, nistune is so cheap, the emulator will cost more, and the old school tuning stuff is slow and clunky

When did nistune only cost 150? Look a chip is just as good as a off the shelf ems system, minus a few things. People make crap loads of power on chipped ecus all the time.Even nistune is just lick a chip, it replaces the chip with a small board. Is it the best way to tune? no But it is cheap..

if you've got your own tuner you can pick up nistunes for like 450 check it out here this is for RB20 http://www.nistune.com/equipment-products-type2.php plus you get live tuning and data logging go have a read on the home website...if you ask me the extra 300 bucks is well worth it less of a pain in the ass plug it in and away you go :thumbsup:

You still have to do the same stuff. Remove the chip in the computer, and add the board. Maybe you get a bigger map (16x16 is what I will be working with), thats not worth it to me. I will be data logging with consult and a laptop.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
