Had the oznats over the weekend...

The car wasnt finished but just bolted it together... need to finish the interior and the front end , side skirts etc etc

Have to sort out my traction issues. Even with slicks i cant keep the power down. If you listen to the video im constantly on and off throttle and constantly loosing traction. even on the well prepped drag strip. any ideas would be great

Long time coming but i got the car tuned, again. This time by a different tuner and to say it was tuned badly seems an understatement.

Havent had a chance to take it out to the drags again but have a drift prac day coming up in 3 weeks i think, so will test it out then

attached the new dyno print out

I wanted an FP HTA turbo before i got mucked around and sent a wrong turbo.  Nice to see it made plenty of power

Put on some AR1s  285s all round and went and did a track day at mallala on sat.

was a blast. car went really well and the tyres were excellent for the price

i now need to upgrade the brakes as it boiled its guts out and lost all braking by the end. and also get some coilovers to

But was a great day!

forgot to add.

had the VCT sorted working and tuned before the track day. You could see a bit of a difference on the dyno print out. but the butt dyno it made a hell of a difference. felt boost came on so much earlier and smoother. made the car so much easier to drive and so much quicker all round.

Funny how much it changed the whole feeling of the car

No, but we did one earlier this year so I've got a fairly good handle on what's needed. We used a stock bottom end (found an RB30 bottom end that had never been run). 

It's the little things that you'll need to sort out:

- the oil feed for the VCT (the machine shop we use has done quite a few 25/30's & knows what's needed),

-what you do with the cold start crap and associated hoses (we removed pretty much all of it, and don't regret it),

-coolant lines on the intake side (once again we got rid of some),

-the oil drain / breather on the front exhaust side (RB30 block doesn't have the port for this),

-engine mounts / raising the bonnet (we kept the mounts stock, and raised the rear of the bonnet with some spacers under the hinges - also had to ditch the strut tower brace. Didn't want to lower the mounts as we have an extended sump, and didn't want it to be the lowest part of the car),

-the dump pipe (had to cut & extend ours, as turbo was now 40mm higher),

-you'll probably need a new RB30 water pump (the RB25 one has a slotted hole, which doesn't quite cover the water channel in the block - ask me how I know),

-the intake piping (once again because the top of our engine was higher, we needed longer intake pipe silicone joiners on the intake pipes, just above the exhaust manifold. Had to buy a 1 metre length as we couldn't find the right size in smaller lengths),

-you will need to buy a second timing belt tensioner & a longer timing belt

-intake side wiring - we had to make up some extended loom mounts because the head was now higher.

 

I can't think of anything else at the moment. If you want the machine shop's contact details let me know - he's in Pooraka. We are loving the engine - the torque delivery is beautiful.

looking at some budget coils.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
