DOUCHE.....BAAAAAAG!

That's funny coming from someone spending $6k on a RB20 rebuild for a daily driver.

LOL... attack the content of the post not the poster :) This thread used to be full of interesting technical discussion and debate over results etc. Seems its all been done to death so these days threads are just waffle and attacks...to which my sometimes participation was pointed out to me over the weekend when I met some people at an event. :(

I know it's a little too late now..

but I limped my R32 gtst to a workshop (117 degree water temp the entire 110km drive there with the heater on full blast.. lol) and picked it up 2 weeks later with RB25det fitted, radiator replaced (old one had bottles of SEAL UP in it), new radiator hoses and general service done for fluids etc etc

$3400

now on 10psi, using stock ECU, probably makes I don't know.. 170rwkw?

The difference in daily drive is night and day.

I've had an R33 gtst before as well

but 25 in a 32 using 32 diff ratios is awesomesauce.

still stock RB20 box too.. it's not going to break behind a stockish RB25...

especially with me driving it.. I've had 3 old subaru turbos and never broke a box so I don't see this breaking.

Roy its his choice at the end of the day but as said everyone has voted against the rebuild including urself so thats why we are dissapointed that he didnt even think about the other options

And of course insulted people who gave advice that he didn't like.

Personally, the OP can go fornicate with himself and I hope his shitbox 32 spins a big end on the way home from the mechanic.

I was going to get my rb25 rebuilt, also being told about $6000. Until (thanks to people on here and elsewhere) i came to my senses and ditched the idea. From what i gathered, its not worth all the effort to only beef up portions of the motor. I was going to be leaving an old oil pump in there, an untouched valvetrain, etc. 10 grand, apparently is the minimum you should be spending if you're thinking of forging a motor.

Over it! Didnt insult anyone, just backed my story up. Got the info I needed which helped me make my decision to rebuild on my budget. Cheers to the people that helped. f**k You to the rest :yes:

Ease up.

Pretty harsh man

By the way the HKS F-Con is a top ecu. They are not a popular buy because few tuners have the means or knowledge to tune them but since you have one if you can find a tuner within range you should keep it.

Pretty harsh man

Harsh but fair. Poor widdle Twavis comes here and asks a question so I offer advice and he calls me a douchebag.

I hope he spins a big end, drops a valve and snaps his timing belt.

Lol dude, the picture you posted was hardly helpful.

Yes it was. It reiterated what I suggested he do.

He's spending $6k on rebuilding an RB 20 when for the same money he could do the same with a 25/30 or at least convert to a 25. He wouldn't have a fancy turbo hanging off the side of it, but that could come later.

If poor Twavis got butthurt by a slapdash meme which was hardly scathing, I'm not sure the internet is the place for him.

EDIT: And admit it, you'll lol'ed a little, didn't you.

And yet you seem to be rather butthurt about being called a douchebag?

I just don't see why you care. He's the one 'wasting' money, so let him.

Well, I'm not sure I appreciate being called a douche bag for trying to help. Would you? I'm fairly confident he wouldn't call me that to my face so why call me that online?

And I don't care. He can spend his money anyway he wants, but I still hope it spins a big end, drops a valve, snaps the timing belt and melts a piston on the way home from the mechanic.

yep secong hand motor is quicker, but he wants the upgrade of a built one to be safe...

I can understand his thinking, just a shame he didnt have more time to consider all options fully...

and yeah budgetting and cars dont work, add 20-30% onto the estimate... its the little things that add up...

Depends how good the builder is, a second handy might last longer then this built one, I can see this costing alot more then 6k, after all it was only a quote and they soon change when the jobs done.

Wow is 8 hours this went from nice to fck you I know how it feels to have to make a fast decision sometimes its not the best option but it's all he has got and if he is happy. Also gets to keep his engine numbers no mucking around with engineering a engine change

Not at all, but that is when I would leave the thread and not care where it goes from there. I mean where is the satisfaction in someone else's engine failing? Seems a bit petty.

U dont make fast decisions u rush decisions. Buy a car sell it, buy a motor sell it, buy a motor fix it, then fit it then wanna sell it. Kids these days :P

Hahahaha I tried following Bsa's build thread.

It was like home and away you just cant keep up with that shit

    • 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.
