I never had the fuel under 1/3rd , they told me not to go below 1/4 until I get a surge tank if I am going to push t a little,

I suggest to get this sorted before you take it again, not nice play Russian roulette with a new motor.......

It's not the valve springs is it.. Those cam lobes are very aggressive

Same springs and retainers as what's in mine. There shouldn't be an issue unless there was a mega mess up installing.

Having said that, if it's coughing in neutral, it won't be springs as there is no boost.

t will all be done and I will be very careful until it's done.I never really push it under half full and my pushing is not like you blokes drive :)

Things are looking up, my builder called me and we were talking about the car and he has put in a starter motor for free and going to run a 3.5" Dump and Cat for me "no Charge" so it will be 3.5" all the way. That was a great offer :banana:

Just a matter of finding out where the water is going , a re tune and off we go :)

Good work Pete, when do they think you'll have it back with a new and improved tune?

Hi James, not sure mate, but I would think he will do it ASAP, might get rid of a bit of back pressure and and flow better ?

Depends on the DBs if I will look at a quieter muffler that still flows but I will wait and see how it sounds and go from there as this exhaust was pretty quiet, well quieter before the build :/

NO, I free revved it and sitting on 5500rpm it started farting.

They have to work it out, all they have to do is drive it , they will fix it, no problem :)

I just wonder if they tweaked it yesterday on the dyno, it never went over 7000rpm without sounding like you hit the limiter but it is set at 8500rpm

doesn't have a neutral Rev limiter does it?

Factory ecus do it, should be possible to program it.

No mate, I am running a new Haltech Platinum Pro 34GTR and the limiter is set at 8500rpm.

I think it has a limit of 4 or 5000rpm until the motor is running at a normal driving temp around 70 degrees. I never drove the car hard until it was hot.

Got me stuffed, ran to 8000rpm + on the Dyno when being tuned and when I just took it into Sydney on Monday :/

But it will be fixed soon and I will be a happy camper :camping:

Holy crap!!

They must be reading this thread haha

Let's hope so, so many injustices here.

Good Pete, glad they are making things right for you.... As they should. Make sure you post up vids when you get it back.

Great news, Pete!

Will they be doing the flex tune and winding it up to see what numbers this can punch out?

Not having it done yet, I am still trying to work out what I will do with the car after I get it back and see how it is going

I always said they would fix any of the problems, shit happens and after you have waited for a build to be finished and run into a few probs when you get it back it gets you frustrated, living so far away just adds to the frustration :yes:

It will be interesting to see what difference the 3.5" dump and cat make when it is being tuned ?

You'll break 400kw with it I bet.

You'll see how much difference a good dump does.

Yeah i agree i just had a good dump! Feel so much lighter! :D

Great news on the car Pete i think thats the least they coulda done being the high end customer you were! Your build wasn't exactly a budget build so why they left pieces of the puzzle out like dump pipes etc before the tuning process was beyond me?!

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
