Thank you!  Many curves there to give me good data points!  Except the curves in kw show kph at the bottom instead of rpm, and I'm incapable of converting that even assuming it's pulled on 4th gear.  :7_sweat_smile:

Not completely related but I don't want to start a new post...

How much power or psi can RB26 factory head gasket typically handle?  I am trying to determine how far I should push my current setup...

Ahh I see, so the limit is the head bolts and not the gasket.  

My -9s are maxing out at 17.5 psi, more than that it's getting knocks because air is too hot.  So if the 28 years old head bolts can take 350kw, I will invest in a good intercooler and see if I can push to 20 psi.

That doesn't sound right.

time to look at your tune

That is fresh off the dyno, and the knock happens at the top of 1st and 2nd gear.  Still has plenty of injector to go, and we fill tank with fresh petrol just to be sure, still knocking.  Plugs are iridium heat range 7 gap to 0.036" / 0.9mm.  We could get 415whp / 310kw consistently with no knock at all at 17.5 psi, but not more.  I would guess room temperature was about 85F / 30C, so whatever that gets turned into with fans blowing.  Both coolant and oil temp was around 190F / 88C.  Conclusion is charged air getting too hot with factory intercooler.  

I think that's pretty good power at 17.5 psi, but kind of wish it could go to 20 psi.  Curve is identical to factory setup until 4000 rpm, so that tells me nothing major has gone wrong.  What's -9s optimum range anyways...?  

I'm thinking Plazmaman, but I'm not sure if that's too big for -9s at 76mm thick.  Greddy's is 70mm thick and HPI is 72mm.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
