Well Melbourne turned it on with another perfect night for dragging, cold and no wind.

1st, [email protected],

2nd [email protected]

3rd [email protected]

4th [email protected]

The 2nd and 3rd run where struggling for a bit of traction but overall im very impressed with the results. MPH is looking quite strong. Not bad for a small baby 2530 turbo and street tyres.

Funny you said that as there was a nice blue R34 GTR running 13.1 and 13.2 @106mph. Must have been stock as these are stock times for a GTR

We have a stocker in our stable, it ran 12.3....exhaust, boost controller and power FC (running base map) sh1t tyres though. Hoping to break into the 10s at Drag Combat with our no.1 car though.

Exhaust, boost, power fc, = Stock, mine must be a stock GTST then :Bang:

catback,boost control and plugged in untuned ECU. thats all. Stock engine,stock turbos,stock AFM,stock intercooler,stock fuel pump and injectors,stock cams and cam wheels, stock airbox and filter, its even got the factory oil cap!!...as far as im concerned a stocker is a car with cat-back and boost control, as this is generally how we see them off the boat! To some people this combo spells "highly modified"....not in my books.

Damn thats impressive - the first and only time i'v ebeen to the strip i was running 12.4@112mph - so your gtst is pretty much as quick as my GTR!!! You must be getting off the line bloody quick!!

Although that was at heathcote and traction was crap that day i was axle tramping all the way through first and into 2nd... until i blew my gearbox :)

Interested to hear what your 60ft time were

I i punch out between 112-114mph and my car would weigh 50-70kg less...just need to forget conservation and hook up first and get stuck into 2nd.

Good work on the times...i was only saying last night to a friend that his old 2530 setup was awesome on his RB25:)

What is the go with the boost you are running, do you find that at the top end boost trails off?

Im getting 19psi in the middle, by 6000rpm its down to 16psi and then its down to around 13.5psi at about 6500rpm. Probably showing why my max power is at 5,700rpm as the boost drops off. My power graph is very funny, from 5000rpm onwards you draw a straight line accross and it moves up and down 5rwkw if that.

Ive learnt that you dont rev this bugger, im upchanging just over 6000rpm which maybe a good thing. Wouldnt mind trying a bigger turbo to see if i get much more top end.

I have a copy of my boost curve on a spreadsheet, i'll post it up.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

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

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
