Max power on mine is made at around 6,000rpm and rev limiter is set at 7,000rpm. Power doesnt dive it just slowly tapers down.

I agree with Roy about wringing the first two gears a bit more but my car is all over the shop in first and second and I always am bouncing off the limiter unintentionally.

I need to improve my driving skills/suspension/tyres before I will bump it higher.

post-7066-1142056038.jpgOk after a long wait car is finally up and running again although still with restriction issues will post the graph and maybe get a bit of a disscussion going on possible causes tuner is still leaning towards exhaust as it is pretty quiet the other is inlet track somewhere anyway u will see by the power curve that there is a problem I just gotta find the damn thing

Thought about doing trhat but it wouldn't have told me anything as anyone that drops there exhaust will make more power wheather the exhaust was restrictive or not but thanks for the suggestion

I wouldn't be complaining with that power level anyway. :/

Can you remind us what kind of turbo you have and bottom end?

Those are some mighty high intake temps! where do they stick the sensor?

It will make more power without the exhaust as any car will any exhaust is a restriction we did try this and it made a heap more power but that was when I was maken 238rwkw since the engine will flow exhaust gases faster with no exhaust air into and out the engine it not pinpointing where the flow hold up is but i think a newer exhaust has to be the first step as the intake side of things is suppose to be good for 450 hp well thats how it was explained to me

Interlooper the bottom end is stock engine has only done around the 65000ks mark as ive had the haed of for porting bores looked brand new so it was left alone turbo is a garrett GT3040R

update

from information gained it appears 3" exhaust will not flow fast enough above 250rwkw so just bought a 3.5" cat back exhaust will fit that and then try tuning again c if that fixes the problem

what brand exhaust did you buy? or is it a custom one?

ok the engine is nearly done, it might be in on saturday morning, i have come accross a problem, i have one washer left over, i think its from the bottom end, its a silver washer with a tapered edge, its about 15mm across.

anyone got an idea where its from.

well its nearly all done, just a few more bits, this is the engine that i hope to crack 300RWKW+ with. will it happen, u bet it will. its taken so long and its only a week or so away from dyno run in and full power tune.

well here it is, the engine ive been building, this is the one i hope to crack 300RWKW+ with, its been so long and now its only a week or so away from the dyno run in and full power tune.

Yo everyone, just wondering if any of the RB20 owners with over 240rwkw have had engine failures or mechanical troubles when used in a circuit/drift enviroment? reason i ask is my rb20 just made 258rwkw @18psi (mods are listed here:) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...ic=103095&st=20 but the tuner recommended i only run with around 1 bar not because the tune wasnt safe, (it was detonation free at 18psi) but because the sheer mechanical strength of the motor could not take that sort of power continuously ie lots of revlimiter action in drift. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated, especially from roy & other RB20 heros who use there cars in circiut or drift where are they are given a pounding.

Cheers.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
