Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

We make a lot of significant' stuff for mining projects (and import a fair share more of it too, to be fair), its just that that isn't a sustainable manufacturing industry.

im sorry do you want us not too post so u can follow???

If you would be so kind :yucky:

Sorry if i rubbed you up the wrong way there, but it twas a busy day in here yesterday

Deemed too expensive.

Ideas on a 30/25 n/a?

Been done with the better rb26 head, forged hi comp with itbs went 170~rwkw.... 10g for 170rwkw is farken dumb.

Then again look at what I built, if you want it do it

I WANs gonna just pretty much set it all up as the 30/25 then when off my p,a drop the turbo on and such

Nick's right. The machining costs alone are astronomical. It has been done time and time again and the results quite frankly sucked.

You can't have turbo compression on an n/a built motor either, the thing would be a pig.

Just don't do it, NA's need hi comp to make power, more compression = bigger explosion = more skids.

My new motor will be built to the highest comp I can go and still run 98 octane

I wasn't gonna do it just wanted opinions and now I know the past failures of people I won't do it haha il just get everything ready for when I get off my p's and yeah

For the least headaches, source an RB25t and start by getting it cleaned and machined. These motors can make big power and cheaply, as many want to do an RB26.

Interested in a billet rotor, Teflon coated, Teflon sealing strips, magnesium 14/71 Mooneyham blower??

They weren't failures, they performed exactly as is to be expected form a natro 3L. Don't get me wrong 170rwkw is farken impressive for what it is, but not for how much it cost especially with no option of progressing.

Like I know I'm not making big power but the potential is there, whereas with this thing.... Well, ur at it's upper limit, u can't put nitrous on it cause it'll ping it's head off and you can't turbo it for the same reasons/u wanted an NA.

Just bad, bad bad bad.....

14/71 dear god he wants all the supermacharger lol. And nah man, Natro power all the way to me, it's more satisfying to make 400rwkw natro than 500 with a supercharger/turbo (yes I'm an idiot) :thumbsup:

You make a lot more than that with this one. I had for a pro street 500ci

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
