Engine out. That looks serious! Hopefully serious upgrades not seriously broken.

After my upgrades, I am sitting at 360 awkw @ 20psi. I did a subset of the original plan. The main thing is just how much nicer the car is to drive with modern injectors, better ignition and e85.

All preventative thankfully...

-head gasket

-head studs

-oil pump gears

-general inspection

-and engine bay respray

 

what turbos you go to make 360 @ 20psi?

That sounds like some good items to tick off before more go faster bits.

Still using -9s but 2psi more plus e85 etc.

good results, definitely could pump a few more psi in there now you're running E85 if you wanted.....

25 psi if you have head studs, head gasket etc shouldn't be too much of an ask.....

That's a lot of power for -9's, especially only at 20psi.  What other mods do you have?

Performance stuff:
Plazmaman intercooler (the smaller one not 100mm)
1000cc injectors
Walbro 460
AC Delco coils

Other stuff that may be relevant but probably marginal benefit:
Built engine
Trust front pipes
Apexi exhaust
Apexi pods

Are you still running factory intake piping?

Yes. Factory intake piping, BoV and manifolds.

that's what i wanna hear ;)

I got this divided charge pipe made not too long ago, if you are unsure about buying a whole intake piping kit.

This is what it looks like installed in mine.

Are you running any cams?  

I'm still running factory air box, so maybe that's my problem.  Or maybe because I'm running R35 injectors at factory fuel pressure.  I read somewhere that R35 base fuel pressure is 1 bar higher and that's why it can get that much power out of 570cc.  Not sure if that's true.

Just to clarify, the power output is based on e85 and not 98.

My cams are factory.

I recall reading that the air box is good for 400kw. I just felt like hearing some more whoosh.

As for the injectors, mine were rubbish and needed to be replaced regardless of any power goals. I thought that you needed a higher cc rating than 570 to support e85 (on an RB26).

already running the divided piping, pretty much a necessity...

ye 570cc injectors will get you nowhere near 400....

Mine should be fairly close to your modification list once finished @Robzilla32, only I'm keeping factory airbox but i'll be running some mild cams and slightly larger turbos...

My goal is 350kw without e85, that's why I thought the 570cc would get the job done.  I rarely drive mine and a full tank would last 2-3 months, so I can't really run e85.  I also thought running R35 injectors with R35 AFMs should be a friendly combo to Nistune. 

Getting closer at 315kw during my last pull.  Bought a 76mm Plazmaman but yet to install it, still waiting for my tuner's dyno to be repaired...

Nah, who told you that?

Any injector is Nistune friendly, especially on Feature Pack 1 and 2

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
