Rekon something bigger will work well?

Ive done T28 (works good on 9.5:1), 28RS disco, TD05H 18G. The Disco was very fail, I suspect due to cams, the 18G has gone over 200kw but pings with any more than 15 pounds.

My 10:1 motor has been shit from word go, all other 9.5 motors Ive done have at least always been fast. Im currently rebuilding my old DET to make way for an FP30, unless you rekon the 10:1 motor will take to the FP30 as is ? lol, id try it if there was merit (want to stay 98 though).

10:1 would work well with 98 but only with upgraded cams, a bigger turbine housing and low-ish boot. No need to run big boost wen u have high comp, cams and very little backpressure in the exhaust manifold.

Someone sponsor me and Jez to put some ethanol in my SR.

My current SR is 10:1 and very det prone. I wouldnt mind letting jez see if the pineapple juice makes it a monster, would be good for everyone to see.

For science ;)

can't you just fit that water injection kit you have?

cheers

I will pay for 40L of E85 if u wanna try the real mans fuel.

But i think the boys are right maybe weve been trying the wrong setup and we need a bigger turbo. Lets try that gr3040 highmount setup i have waiting for u. For the price its a bargain.

Exactly, that combo of GTScoT is a real mismatch way too much exhaust pressure... high comp small rear always ends in ping city. What are your exhaust temps?

Perfect E85 contender though for response / vs power..

Thanks for the pointers guys.

Weird thing is though, the first setup I went to tune with was a GT28RS with a .86 rear... Jez will confirm that after we swapped out the rear housing for a .64 it made an identical amount of power (tune needed to be backed off though).

You guys are tempting me to try harder with the DE+T but im realistically worried its just going to be another bout of CRAP. Am currently in the process of getting my old DET checked so i can buy some pistons for it :(

I decided against it as my setup has proven too unreliable at the moment, i wouldnt want it to be useless without the WMI.

if i could get it to a point where WMI was an added bonus for big power but without was still awesome i definitely would.

on E85 it should be sweet, we did a high comp E85 S14 Sr20det with poncams and GT2871 and made 269rwkw on sensible boost... and stopped due to no injector left...

Problem is though he wont do E85 as its not available near him at this time. , trust me i have been trying since i first met him and his de+T setups

aah then WMI is the only option. Same result as E85 just requires a decent controller.

Also, what's the go with timing when tuning these things? Coz when we started at zero its knocking its guts out before you hit 3 degrees.

What's going to happen if you magically start at base timing (IE 15) and go from there? For science, obviously.

but what boost are you starting at?, 0-3 degrees is going to make the egts go waaay through the roof.... you need to start real low boost wise and watch your timing table as its is going to limit your boost dont let your boost determine your timing. Always aim to make as much power as safely possible on the lowest boost.

lesson learnt, we were starting at a bar.

so in theory if we started at 7psi and went for a mega aggressive tune, then fine tuned to compensate for boost as it increased.... we COULD have got there?

on the disco, it ended up with 210kw (regardless of .64 or .86) but extremely laggy. I had civics motoring away from me out of corners at wakefield.

yeah if it was a 16psi base actuator you were stuck, no good unfortunately. i reckon if you got a 6psi gate and started from there you would have been sweet.

Check it back on with WMI, did i read you had a kit? even at 16psi you should get about 8 degrees in it.

agreed yeah.

well give it another go with the 9.5:1 kando, but im gonna build the lower comp motor for my s14. I do have the WMI kit at home but im wanting to go an FP30. Already sold the disco so its just T28 powered for the minute. Might bring that for a retune if i get bored hehehe

dont want to be shaving the head that much to increase compression... you'll reduce the cumbustion chamber size.

need custom pistons with a higher crown height.

Would love to build a stroker RB28 with 10.5 - 11:1 CR balanced within a micron of its life to allow it to rev, Nitto spline drive pump to keep it lubricated. would be fairly nuts i would thing

cp can do custom pistons

      This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.

      I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.

      Rusty roof repair

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway.

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
