Yes, said it was slight detonation, not sure if any detonation is good for the motor.

Lines are done on the surge tank. tested OK for leaks , so things are moving along, pics a bit dark :(

I thought any detonation was bad detonation.

From what I know about it , "no detonation" is what you want.

As detonation gets worse can it lead to pre ignition in a car engine or are they totally separate problems. From I have read so far slight detonation can go on for a long time in your family car and you would not really know it is happening but still causing internal problems, not sure about turbo charged engines?

But pre ignition can destroy your motor/pistons in a flash.

Well as I understand it, it can lead to pre ignition and once that happens normally you will throw a rod/piston and cry alot.

I wouldn't want to run 380kw with any sort of knock/det/ping and this should have been sorted when first detected.

Someone on here that is more clued up than me might have another idea.

But brand new engine/tune/everything should be perfectly tune to the smallest part. Glad you are getting it sorted though. Good work.

Crying just thinking about it,lol

It was a good thing I did not like the performance and thought there was something wrong with the way it felt to drive with the power it had. But until I had a second opinion from Mick I was only guessing :/

I am not sure if it will be much better when I get it back, I hope so :cool:

Would need a 6266 at a minimum. No bigger split turbine housings available

Yeah that .84 was the biggest for the 6262 I think and it is split. If I have to go to a different turbo to have it working better then I will.

You mentioned some time back about the BW 8374 with the 1.01 housing, spools quickly and has 50HP extra, that could be an option ?

If you stick to precision and just go up a size it will bolt straight back on and mean a lot less in labour charges

I hope I do not have to change it and I know you are are right but I am a stubborn SOB and still chasing the Holy Response and worried if I get bigger turbo I will be going backwards , lol

Didn't even watch my video.

ok so let me see if I've got this right, he has put;

90s tech -5s with the smaller -7 .42 comp housings with factory pipe work designed to fit the engine bay nice and neat up against the latest tech GTX3582R with custom pipe work designed to make the turbo work to it's peak efficiency and this is what is considered a fair test of twins v single, really!!!

And lets not forget the tuner, a massively biased single turbo supporter romoured for fudging dyno readings

Is that about right, don't get me wrong, I am not saying one is better then the other, I'm saying this test is anything but a fair test of twins v singles

My figures were the same 3 states away.. Pete doesn't feel his are inflated.

    • 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?
