Also it looks like you've hit some sort of flow restriction (possibly the rear housing as stated earlier) as it holds around the 500 rwkw mark for around 2500 rpm!

What intercooler are you running?

Quick Update. I finally got a weekend off work and was able to visit a Springmount Raceway, which is a new drag strip that was built and 1.5 hrs drive from Cairns. I only ended up doing two

Update Time! Its been a long road to get here, but I finally have some test results for the engine. Last weekend Trent Whyte and Gordon Leonard from Mercury Motorsports jumped on a flight to tune my

Perhaps down the track a little an EFR9180 with the 1.45 twin scroll will be the way to go to get more top end without sacrificing too much low end. This motor has achieved what I wanted it to do now though. The next two engines are where I'm going to pursue more power.

The intercooler is a genuine Nismo core and is most likely not the restriction, however its had a lot of miles on it and has had some decent stone strikes. It will be replaced most likely with a hypertune core at some stage.

The 6466 will go 550+kw easily if I up the MAP sensor to a 4 or 5 bar. The 525kw was far from being optimised. There was no point tuning it at the limit of the MAP sensor as the ability to detect an over boost situation no longer exists. The 30kw gain from just 2psi shows the engine is still waking up at this pressure level despite the top end drop off.

For the moment I am very happy with the setup. I want to make the car look a little more pretty next, in case someone wants to photograph it.

I have confirmed the rev limit soft cut was 7500 RPM.

The two graphs on the dyno sheet were actually 4th gear 7500 rpm and 5th 6000 rpm pulls.

The 5th gear run was an aborted run due to an intake hose blowing off. It stopped at 6000 RPM. Trent switched to 4th gear after the hose blew off for the third time, and did the 4th gear pull.

The chart below is RPM vs KW and NM.

Nothing real significant at this stage. Ive been driving the car whenever its not raining, which hasn't been that often up here unfortunately.

When doing some maintenance today, I was under the car and discovered I've done a right front CV boot. Grease splattered all over my newly painted TE37s. Such is GTR ownership...

Machining of the next two blocks is coming along nicely. Billet main cams, ARP stud kits and girdle plates installed. Sleeving next week all going well.

Hey Mate.. I'm definitely interested in getting one built. I'm in Mackay so not too far away, plus as mentioned in the other thread I have mates you might know.

I'm actually a tuner too. Are you taking orders yet?

Sorry no I'm not taking orders yet, but I can say that one of the two engines being built at the moment will be for sale. That is once we see our first 4 digit power figure in testing.

The price is going to be quite high as it is not a large production run, and also the two builds are being done with no expense spared. Every part is now custom built for huge strength. ARP625 studs throughout, pistons that cost more than a complete rebuild, special coatings and materials, and a couple more experimental refinements.

Here's a sneek peek of one of the bottom end's before sleeving. Steel billet main caps + girdle plate with 12mm studs. I am trialing a Platinum Racing girdle plate on the second engine.

ahaha yep. I am keen as hell. I would sort this out over 12 months. And this guy looks like he knows his shit. I would rather spend the same money on a RB34 than a RB28

Not much to report on really. I'm getting used to driving the car, and have decided I want to fix what is holding back the current setup from making 800+ and having that utterly terrifying top end acceleration. So a few weeks ago I placed a few more orders and now the parts are rolling in.

In the short term I am sticking with the 6466 and have just got a 1.30 housing upgrade for it, to allow the engine to breath better in top end. From what the 3.4lt supra guys tell me, I'm going to notice very little drop in response, yet will gain power that climbs to redline. I'm will be maxing out the injectors too, so another fuel pump upgrade is again in order. I'm swapping out the 044's and am installing a pair of walbro 460's instead, having now worked out how to mount them so they prime properly.

Under the bonnet I've changed the oil separator to a custom Autech style oil unit of my own design. I use a cone at the high end for the can as the vapour outlet, and there is 5 layers of oil separation baffles inside the can, with a return to sump drain at the low side.

On the next two engine front, I have the cylinder head for the lower spec motor now. Ported, +1/+1, Tomei 280/11.5's with supertech valves and springs. I'm still having a hold up with big cylinder head. Parts delays are the worst as they bring projects to a stand still...

Any news on these mate?

Yes some progress has been made.  All parts to complete the next two engines are in the hands of the machine shop awaiting final machining.  If things are completed on time I'll have everything ready to assemble the "insane spec" RB33 next Friday. The RB32 that will follow will be a few more weeks after that.

I changed my business name to Project RB recently too, and dropped open deck engines as none of the new engines are open deck anyway.

I completed a 900km day trip about in the car about a month ago and have been driving every day that I can when its not raining. I believe there is about 16,000km on the new setup now.  The long road trip revealed that my alternator can't keep up with the rest of the higher than normal electrical load in the car, so I've got a 150A alternator upgrade going in soon.

That's about all.  Fingers crossed for no more delays.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
