What AFR's did your mate get and the difference? mine are a safe 12 - 12.1

ben , my mate left croydon with around 12:1 and ended up at sas with 12.7:1.

to be honest he hasnt had a problem . we actually rang jim at dart late yesterday afternoon about this . he said he has built quite a few 400 + kw gtr engines that have been aggressively tuned by croydon and refuse to give up . he believes it all comes down to how sensible the driver is . he told us he has built around 85 gtr engines in the last 5 years and many of the ones that came in blown up were only making around 250kw with 11.5 :1 mixtures , but were driven as if they were stolen . we're looking forward to visiting dart and meeting jim.

on the CRD graph the AFR is 12.4:1?

Richard, no its not... its sitting 1 division below the 12.5 that is 12, and it bounces along there on the line or 1 pixel above....

Yep, that is what Jim told me also.... he certainly can build a beautiful RB26 that is for sure! I get knocks of 12 most drives, and on the dyno it saw 17-20 at full tilt...

I can't wait till blitz and Marko have run their engines in, as they are or have recently had a DART built motor....

600hp so what did you end up making? maybe a run on DART's dyno for you also?

and yeah thats balls....

"Screw the power...707NM!!!

NOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

no de-rate there baby!!! full charge :)

hahaha you were reading my mind!!! I saw you reading the posts, and wrote the above prior to your message.....

Jim @ DART is a great guy, I am certain you could do a power run for only a few $$$$ as a side note he mentioned to me that he was looking at charging $150 per hour dyno time, and that was for just anyone off the street....

I am sure if you mention my car, and SAU he will come to a nice number for you :)

it is well worth the chat with him regardless....

Stace or Paul i can see you guys reading this thread we shlould all organise a BIG Dyno day CRD or DART at the end of the year and see what everyones cars are puting out.

It would be good getting 20 or so GTR's all with different set up and some the same just see what the mods make.

well I put my money on MARKO with DART motor :)

and no RB2X allowed!!! 26 only or no fair :D

I'm going to have to call CRD Jim on monday also, and tell him how it is going on the mountian roads of Adelaide...

well I put my money on MARKO with DART motor :)

and no RB2X allowed!!! 26 only or no fair :D

Your not scared of a few little gtst's running on the dyno aswell are you ;) ? be easier to get the numbers for a dyno day if you let them in, I'm sure they don't mind it not being fair you being RB26 and all

he believes it all comes down to how sensible the driver is . he told us he has built around 85 gtr engines in the last 5 years and many of the ones that came in blown up were only making around 250kw with 11.5 :1 mixtures , but were driven as if they were stolen . we're looking forward to visiting dart and meeting jim.

The GTRs regularly taken to the track to be thrashed - how do they get tuned? Do you have to specify it'll be a track warrior then get a lower peak KW?

I'm confused I thought that unless the car was pure dyno queen it'd be tuned to give and take punishment??

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
