Rb26/rb30 Engine Dyno Results 600Hp+

[bigmikespec]

Hi fellas,

I started this topic to see what kind of results some guys are getting on an engine dyno around the 600hp+ mark. In particular, actual engine torque values and rpm it is achieved (instead of measured by rolling road dyno).

So, anyone tuning on an engine dyno and have some torque figures to share; nothing specific, RB26, RB26, RB30... sorry if this topic is conflicting with the dyno result thread but it it more specific to engine dyno.

Thanks,

Mike

I have only ever heard of maybe two RBs being tuned on engine dynos, one RB25 making ~1400hp and one RB26 making ~1700hp - probably not too helpful for this topic, most people aiming for "only" 600ish are content with a rolling road or hub dyno

600hp+.... they can post it in here!

I know BoostdR had some results, I can't find it however. It was an RB30 with twin -10s that made good strong power.

I don't know of any tuners or engine builders here who have an engine dyno - the only ones I have seen are in a Polytech and one in a place doing research on fuels - which is not to say that there aren't some somewhere. I have seen a video of an Aussie speed shop somewhere that has one.

There are a few in Adelaide; most would not go to the trouble of an engine dyno but IMO it is the best way to tune and run in an engine prior to fitting it to the car. Also the only way to get a true reading of torque (and engine power).

Yeah mine was done in Adelaide prior to me buying it.

2.8l with turbonetics GTK850 25psi on 98 with 10% meth-- 760hp & 780nm @ 5500rpm from memory.

Will try and find the sheet.

There is one up our way, costs by the time you wire it all up etc are a bit steep, we were thinking to do the run in and basic tune on it and makes life simpler if you want to inspect the engine internally or work on it, in our case we are still unsure if its the right thing for us.

Maybe. maybe not.....

Thanks Richard, I will have a look for BoostdR's result somewhere on the forum today too.

To keep my own thread going, here are the results from BoostdR:

Jpc have heaps of vids on YouTube, I've watched a few engine Dyno vids,

Haven't looked up there site but to see if they specific info.

I do know they build some very angry RB's.
