Hey people 

so I started my car(after a month)and let it warm up for 10-15min and walked away like an idiot , and only realising when sitting back in the car of the smell, I got rid of most rat shit but I’m sure there is more , and worried about chewed up lines and wires??

Just wanted to know if steam/hot water cleaning by a professional car detailer is safe?

Cheers

Have you tried truckwash or aerosol degreaser?  They remove most things organic.  A pressure washer might work but could also push water into places you don't want.

I'd go with a just hose pressure and truckwash to start with.

 

That's what you get running without a cat :)

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      So I put it to 3bar (43.5psi) while priming. It stays at 43.5~ as I crank shakes slightly. Ive also tried dropping pressure to see if that changes anything. I replaced the fuel dampener because I was troubleshooting the system along with the stock FPR (swapping them one by one to rule them out). But i only got up to changing the dampener and it started running again. Injectors are stock second hand. I did a bench test on both my original ones and the secondhand ones. The second hand injectors I have in the car now spray slightly stronger than my original injectors.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I knew Andy from about then, it did some cool stuff. By 2005/2006 era, he also implemented closed loop ignition timing tuning. In 2004 it was pretty cool, being with him when he was doing automated fast self learning tuning!

      Im No tuner but…. im running a 25det with north of 600wkw at 9000rpm e85 and water meth. G40 1150 on 32psi. Having a real built head will flow a crap ton more power but you being stuck at 7600 won’t be helping at all, throw all the boost you can and nothing will happen. Solid lifter and 9000rpm is the only way,  I have built my motor 3 times, not from engine failure but more along the lines of my failures in not understanding engine parts better, basic phrase to help, “block hold power”  “head make power”

      What's the fuel pressure while the car is cranking? Curious, why did you replace the fuel damper? What injectors are you using, are they brand new?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I think it's terrible value, it should be half that price IMO. And I'm known as someone who will unironically suggest the GTIII-SS on the RB26 if you have very specific requirements. The GCG RB25DET "hybrid turbo" is 1/3rd the cost of this GTIII-RS kit and sounds like it should fit with zero modifications. Talk to Hypergear as well, maybe they can do something that fits your requirements.
