How experienced are you building engines?

First time? Based on the incredibly vague first question that's what I assume.

Comp ratio is a compromise relating to many factors. Boost, fuel, cams, head design etc.

Certainly not as simple as what's the best.

Although 500whp isn't that much so stock comp would do it with that turbo and fuel I imagine.

Hi Ben c34 yeah I am new to these engines as I have only owned mazda rotaries (complete different animal). But from the info I have gathered I have been told a stock cylinder head should be ok for what I am doing but I need to upgrade rods and pistons as well as mod crank snout for the longer oil gear. But I am probably going to stick with stock compression ratio.

Thanks

Richard

Yeah I am in the states and the places that sell en are like 45 minutes away. But thanks for all the info. Btw When using the stock head and stock head components what parts are known to have problems and If I did want extra insurance I am assuming just install valves and retainers.

Hi I am having the head reconditioned for sure. Then I was going to clean up cast marks in ports but mainly water jacket holes in cylinder head and I was thinking of running a line from cylinder head to sump. And widen the oil galleries on head and block.

I think a GT3582R will be quite laggy on an RB25 with the std CR on your 93 octane . In the US with things like the 3076 and 3582 HTAs available I think you can do better .

With non standard manifolds the EFRs are probably better again particularly on pump gas because their turbines tend to be larger in relation to their compressors than most other turbo suppliers . You should be able to get 500 from a 7064 or a 7670 with better turbine response/transients than most other makes .

Having less inertia and exhaust restriction is the go IMO .

I was talking specifically about the lifters.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
