Roy as far as we know, and very confident on it.. the internals of the motor are as stock as they come, no cams, cam gears nouthing

it appears to be running the stock head gasket and the sump and oil pump dont show any signs of removal befor, we will be doing a comp test this weekend.

its very basic to an extent, trust td-06 with the 16c rear, EMS stinger ecu, 34 gtr injectors, tial 38mm gate, profec b spec II on 24psi high 20 low, 76mm china cooler kit then usual exhaust-intake stuff

if the weather holds up for next wednesday im goin to return the car back to the drag setup and try and get a run in at the last street meet for the season, it feels like its a shit load faster now then when it was last on the track :)

im sorry but.. is there any outher 12.0 or lower unopened rb20 r32 in australia??

martini race fuel http://www.martiniracing.com.au/html/fuels110.htm thats what i'll be using if i choose to (at this moment i see pump fuel is a greater acheivement)

Sure is, my mates 32 which i sold on here a couple of years ago, ran a 11.8 @ 116mph. ON that run it popped the motor at 3/4 track but stayed into it.

That was stock motor, manifold, injectors & ecu (had a chip though). Was laggy as f**k but it ripped.

mint atleast i know what to aim for next week :P

conversion coming along slowly

i need some panel n paint done first

and a diff

finding a diff for a hr31 isn't easy!

then i can start collecting the cool stuff for conversion:)

i have front cut already though

What is wrong with the current diff in it?

R200 long noses are a mechanical 1 way diff from factory.

If its a single spinner get an LSD centre off a Z or similar and put your gearing in it...some new clutch packs and voila.....

That is what I am doing. Minus the LSD as I already have one.

If ya wanna know more speak to R31 Nizmoid or look at the array of info on the R31 club

hks 2835 is a nice turbo!

my mates s13 which i'm using atm has one on his sr

and i'm pretty sure the dude with the rb20 120y has done 11s adam and don't think he's opened the motor yet

i cant be bothered going for a look haha

I am running 20 thou low comp forgies... Top end is std tho :/ 11.0 @ 118

Juat reading through some of the first few pages of this thread. Around 30 months later its interesting to see how the goal posts have moved and thinking changed. 220rwkws with a GCG Hi Flow was thought to be about it for an RB20. We are now getting better response and more power out of them just by experimenting a little with setups.

If you could get the air in to the RB20DET with reasonable boost I think the RB20DET will hold 450hp no problems.

AD4M, lol 24psi is more then what i would call reasonable. But hey, its hanging together. Fingres crossed you pull some great times and it holds together.

Can i ask whether you think it will hold together at that boost? Or is it a matter of you not caring if she goes bang :/

Compressor:

- Wheel: 82mm w/ 56 trim

- Housing: .70 ar

- Type housing w/ 4" Inlet & 2.5" Outlet

This turbo incorporates the same GT40 compressor wheel found in the popular GT35, but runs the smaller 60mm w/84 trim turbine wheel from the GT30R. Appropriate for smaller engines where the GT35/40R feels too big, but the high amount of compressor flow is needed for the desired HP. Comes with a large T04S style compressor housing with 4.00 inlet and 2.50" outlet

These are the only spec's I could find on it

Cheers Peter

if the weather holds up for next wednesday im goin to return the car back to the drag setup and try and get a run in at the last street meet for the season, it feels like its a shit load faster now then when it was last on the track :unsure:

Ill be watching this space closely !

Good Luck dude !!

whats next... stock turbo? According to ur statement above it would have done an 11.3 if it hadnt blown 3/4 down the track.

Are we still talkin about a RB20?

Stock everything = 500HP LOLOL

i know all of the above but thanks anyway dude:)

car has been off the road for a while and i sold the factory lsd to a mate with plans of getting a aftermarket 2 way for it and i've been a member of the r31 club for a couple years now:)

thanks

to tell you the truth Roy I'm not worried if it goes bang, got a few spares :unsure: the motor was running insanley rich but now its back into a more leaner tune so time will tell how it holds up

Yeh fair enough. I understand completely as im in the same boat. Happy to run 1.3bar with the occasional hits of 1.5bar as RB20s are so cheap and i have something better in the wings. But in no huury to throw in a stronger motor because at the moment the engine is faster then the suspension at the moment. So can go quicker yet once i get the suspension sorted. Something very satisfying about pulling away from built RB25s etc down the straights at the track :unsure:

Haha this awesome feeling is what keeps u guys from going to rb25 or something :unsure: LOL

roy mate i will be using the gt30r, the one with those specs which is the same core specs as the hks3037s

should be starting it tomorrow, need to tune it roughly and drivable, then off to JEM for the fine tune

i have:

autronic ecu 550cc rx7 series 5 injectors 044 pump CPC plenum port polished head/manifold 1mm oversized valves hks valve springs gt30r 38mm tial wastegate

hopefully i should get around the 240-260rwkw mark

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
