Yehh, results would be excellent :glare:

Haha would use E85 if it was an option here, but I'm not paying $3 a litre. Until it becomes more available, I'll be on PULP.

It'll happen man!! No rush ;)

Hope you get the E85 over there one day soon!

Haha yeh, would be good. At the moment I'm more likely to go WMI, it's just way easier. To be honest though, I think any more engine mods are on hold for awhile. Whatever power it makes with this tune is where it will stay for now. I just want to drive the damn thing again. The original plan was to have it ready for the reopening of Barbegallo, but I've overshot that by about 2 months now :( Dying to hit the track again.

Actually next money might be on a lap-timer, I still don't know what I'm getting around Barbs :unsure:

So the saga continues... Engine failed on the dyno today. Valves are sticking open. Don't even know where to start, but tomorrow I have to pick the car up and get it home. No idea where it goes from here.

Boo

Timing belt?

Unfortunately RBs are interference motors :(

So sad to hear this man!

Nothing so obvious. If it had been a complete engine failure then I could just buy a new motor. But according to Sean, mine is still drive able. It's only when he tried to do a full load power run that the engine loses compression and he has to abort.

This has been burning my brain man! It doesnt add up....

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
