Finally finished my rebuild after about 7 weeks.

Did

40 thou over rebore

Arias forgies

match ported everything

reseated valves

regasketted everything

New big end and thrust bearings

N1 oil pump

N1 turbs

S/S dumps and fronts

Os giken twin plate

Os giken adj cam gears

Gates radiator hoses

Gates timing belt

Clear cam gear cover

Acid bath

All welsh plugs changed

Oil cooler and filter relocator

Anyway I am still in run-in time and the car seems a bit less than it used to be..I know I might be jumping the gun as I can't really get up it yet. But I have been around 5500rpm ish at 0.7 bar of boost and my 33 was always the 'lesser' car power wise....Just chasing thoughts

Could it be because we opened the piping so much it will take more exhaust gas to boost?

Is the engine just so new and tight?

I am looking forward to giving it a proper boot full but I must behave for a few more hundred k's...

The next step is injectors,pump and fc in case you were wondering why they weren't on the list.

could be the run in oil as well, i think mineral oil is harsher on the internals at high temp, but thats what it needs to bed the engine etc.

sweet build!! i have just done the exact same rebuild!!

i found that during the run in it also was abit down, but i got it tuned on the run in oil and it pulled 250rwkw on pits's dyno in 3rd at 1.2bar. It was running rich with the lower comp ratio

after the oil change it seems to be much smoother and rev's alot easier. i can feel the power earlier, and it feels like it may come on harder??

i will have it dynoed at the next dyno day & post the results. also pits's dyno results are usually at least 10% low??

did you open up the exhaust ports when doing the head??

I have an R32 - and have just done the SAME rebuild, I'm also still runnin in (~1500klms on the dial so far) – I have R34 N1s with hks style non-turbulent dumps and a full 3.5” exhaust + the other stuff you mention

At 8psi - I'm gettin ~180awkw I'd say (I can keep up with a std WRX and VYSS)

B4 the rebuild I had about 210awkw – but my bottom end was shot (pots 4 and 6 totally rooted), no dumps, no port and polish blah blah blah

It does not rev out as smoothly as it did b4 - but it I'm not expecting things to fully loosen up until past 5000klms (at least) and I have lost the mineral oil

I have the PFC + Adj CAMS + 550cc injectors + Apexi EBC to install in the next week or so.

I'm expecting somewhere near 280awkw @ 1bar once this kit is installed and tuned

Had a play today...found a major boost leak.

Here's a trick...I clamped a plastic cup in the rubber hoses where the air filters go, shoved an air compressor up the (or any) air line and pressurized the whole system...found a couple of leaks...Might still have a little one though.

I found the problem...Yeah.

The standard boost solenoid has a T that goes to the plenum on the same line as the actuators...This won't work with an aftermarket boost controller and stuffs around with the sensors I guess. I ran a new vacuum line dedicated to the actators and it all good now.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
