Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt

[Badgaz]

My rb25det has tolerated over 300,000kms with plenty of my ignorance and learning applied. Still punching good numbers.

^^^ I'd like to see that 3L for that price! Everyone on SAU would have a dirty 30

Fark at that price I'd have a couple spares, you know just case an what not

[iruvyouskyrine]

If you keep standard internals its well within the realm of possibility.

Gareth, you have put 300k KMs on your 25, what are you doing laps of Australia or do you live in your car cause dam !!!!

I've owned my car since 2002. when i bought it it had 134,000kms on it. i've still never lifted the head off the motor and i've done all the maintainence myself....most of the problems are with the ancillary parts of the motor failing over time e.g turbo....

Lets keep the chat up so we get to the 50 pages quicker so we can prove Ben right in less time!

So you are saying it is possible with a blown 25 to build a 25/30 on the road for that price? Don't think so. Not even close.

My bet is that your highly strung 4G63 will grenade long before my 25 will! Crankwalk anyone? .. Mick O

Lol care to place money on that Ronaldo? Dunno how its more highly strung? Im running a pound or 2 more boost than your car on Ethanol with a lower comp ratio and probably make similar to a little more power than you.

Its just a better designed more efficient engine than the old RB

agreed, RBs are old dinosaur tech

[Badgaz]

^^over engineered dinosaur tech wins out against cheaper newer production methods.

[zebra]

Where did they over engineer it?

Certainly not the oiling system....or the cooling system....or the cylinder head....or the turbo chargers......did I mention the oiling?

[rondofj]

Oiling? Thats RB26 territory isn't it.

[XGTRX]

Stock engines weren't designed to rev at 8500 rpm for 10 secs bouncing off the limiter at double the intended boost. Do that to most engines and you will kill them.

Micko Atleast knows where his timing is sitting... Just saying.

[Grimesy]

Will certainly tune back in here at page 50.
LOLS will be had.

Yes, and I know this because I have done it. Thanks champ.

[Ben C34]

Same here. Stock bottom end untouched. All up less than 700 including oil etc for everything including retune. Took a whole week working on it a bit after work.

Not what I would call built though, as it's untouched.

But.... I know what I'm doing.... can set timing etc

Can't really see the point building one when a 200 buck engine does aso well!

Sorry my bad. I assumed that going a 3L you would upgrade the supporting mods, water and oil pump, timing belt, clutch and at least a dyno tune. Obviously not the case, I apologise.
