So here we go.

I am currently building an RB2530, I will be updating thread step by step as build continues.

Goal will be to produce 400kw+ or try the best I can.

This will be done on a medium budget, but I will try the best I can to put the money in where it counts.

Any feedback or ideas would be great.

It all starts with the s2 rb30 block i picked up for $80, disassembled it myself and have since had it cleaned, decked, bored and honed.

Decked back to 0

Honed to 20thou

have picked up CP pistons(8.5:1 86.5mm), Manley rods and some king bearings

Have now had stud girdle cleaned and had crank lynished

and have since decided to put on oil crank collar. so crank has been machined to fit, and installed.

have also picked up forged pistons and rods ;) CP pistons (8.5:1 86.5mm) and Manley rods and also got some king racing bearings

and all ARP head and main studs.

So good news have picked up my 25det head, am yet to decide how I am going to modify it for the conversion

have heard there is an internal modification you can do for the oil feed, so will be looking into it, hopefully should be getting done soon.

kinda wishing I got a neo head, but to late now.

Have purchased some more goodies for the build.

Ended up getting some Kelford cams from NZ and also some valve springs off them. got $300 import duty tax FML :rant:

I have been assured these spring can handle up to 30 psi boost before valve float, don't think ill be testing this theory, but its good to know.

Have also decided to delete the VCT, I will be running adjustable cam gears instead.

Getting closer and closer to assembly.

Will attach spec sheet of cams.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
