hi im trying to get a graph up... umm the tuner reckoned he couldnt stop it knocking at 18psi no matter wat he did... thats y its only 16, thats weired aye.. its alittle laggy

Well id be inclined to run a Bosch fuel pump, and run the std manifold. Pinging at 18psi seems a little strange...did he suggest the reson why it was pinging..

he said i should get some plugs a heat range colder...

are u talking about a standard exhaust manifold?

they just cheap weld n grind cams, standard cam gears..

a strange thing is the cas if nearly fully turned anti clockwise (Advanced?)

I would most definitely be checking the cam timing. Ensure it has been setup correctly and then drop a set of adj cam gears on it and see how u go.

How is the power curve when it wants to ping? Does it want to only ping at a certian rpm range? i.e in my case 4000rpm

I have had valve float issues where i bumped boost up and it would always want to ping at 4000rpm + the power curve would go flat from then onwards.

The last I highly doubt. But a few things to look at.

Hey RB power...what is your car like to drive on the streets?

tail happy?

Do you have any suspension/brake mods to match, 238rwkw is alot to stop with standard brakes :woot::blink:

just quickly....

whats everyone got their rev limiter set at??

since i got the highflow and having full boost at 4000rpm i hit the rev limiter alot!!!

i just dont feel power loss to change gear

street, 6800rpm

track 7500rpm

roy uses a nice rev limit

LOL...i keep mine at around 8,300rpm. I dont rev 3rd and 4th that hard, but i sure do rev 1st and 2nd gear out to make sure that when i grab the next cog i have as many revs on board as possible. The difference between 4,000rpm and 5,000rpm on my engine is proabably about 100rwkws so worth revving out the lower gears to fall into the meat of the power curve

If your turbo can flow the air, the std cams dotn seem to fall off too abruptly....mine still feels as though its pullign pretty well at 8,000rpm. i thnk it makes about 210rwkws at thoe revs?!?!?!

got the same problem as roy, need to keep the revs nice and high to bypass the lag. mines set at 7500 and is still climbing rather well. cams would definately help but might look at raising it another 300 or so.

i was revving to 8.5 on the old motor before she went.

proly will take the rebuild to a max of 8.3, but this time round with uprated oilpump and valve springs to suit.

gotta remember that rb20's are short oil drive motors so the posibility to destroy the oil pump is very good at high rpms/hp.

hey it seams to be ok alittle loose...lol....stock brakes and suspension apart from lowered springs and drift pinapples lol

my revs are set a 7000 rpm

what year was car? and how many km had it done before it let go?

also, were u driving it everyday at 8000+rpm?

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
