omg that is a horn car man

ive read teh whole build from the beginning and kept up with the updates and this is one horn car

good to see a relativly uncommon type of car as a drift pig - not a 180, silvia, or a ae86 - but a good old wholesome skyline

ive seen ur old car in hot4's drift sections (at least i think it is anyway) now i look forward to seeing the new one in it

well done

Thanks guys... Yeah it is great to have it all but finished!!! And I do still have a wife!!! :):):):D

Ashley, I don't suppose you remember which issues do you?

And Guys... look out for my top level spin this sunday on Speedweek, SBS around 12 noon.

Cheers and Beers Kids,

Dan.

right

Hot4's issue 134 page 128

its a r33 with number plates "SAC 526"

and ive just realised that that one is not it woops :D

i thought that there was one were i thought i saw it in but i cant remeber which one

oh well - hope too see this version in there sometime :)

Did I mention the numbers we got on a VERY conservative tune?

Well I'll tell you again just in case I didn't.

Running 1 bar of boost we recieved 697rwnm of torque from 2200rpm through to 4900rpm and 197rwkw from 2900rpm through to 5400rpm. We are spooling boost from idle though... so perhaps the turbo is a little too small... lol! ( I don't remember the air fuel ratio's, I know it was rich though, might have been around 12.5 to 1???? Was only 150kms to a tank street driving though... we were filling the thing with 20 litres every 4 to 6 laps at Mallala!!!)

This week we are going to lean it out a little, closer to 10.9/11 to 1 air/fuel, and up the boost to 1.3 bar... lets see just how far this turbo will go... we are also thinking with that much torque that we might retard the timing a little for a bit more tyre frying top end.

Either way we have a bigger turbo, manifold and external wastegate set up organised for when we max this one out...

Will let you know the results guys.

Dan.

sounds good dan! that is some serious torque. you got the AFR thing backwards though. 12.5:1 is leaner that 11:1 (air/fuel ratio so higher first number means leaner). 12:1 is probably a fairly safe, but still power producing number, but your tuner will no doubt have his own idea on what is a good target with your set-up and usage in mind.

It's going to rock the house mate.

Hey Guys... Well the build is I guess done... but I am thinking I might continue this thread while I develop the car also...

We had HUGE weekend... even if I did only do 15 laps all weekend... As Neil said, I qualified 8th, which was fantastic, and even though I was giving Denzo a hard time, I Spun and finished 18th... either way I am happy that I made it down, qualified, competed and brought back a working car!

Thanks for all the well wishes and support... I had a massive last month getting the car ready.

Don't forget to watch the footage on Speedweek on the 11th of June.

Cheers Guys,

Dan.

Hey.

I like the car.Good to hear that it made it back all in one peice.

What was the power of the car like compared to the old engine?Does it feel lighter and better handeling than before?

I never realised that bel garage was sponsoring you until just recently.I drive past them sometimes after work.Used to look at them and think ive seen that somewhere before but couldnt quite pin it.Now i know.:ermm:

Yeah Bel are coming on board in a quite big way, they have spent plenty of time with the car, so that is good.

In fact just through tuning it last week they have managed to get 25% more top end and another 50nm of torque without upping boost!!! Actually upping boost did really nothing, we gained 4rwkw and 30nm of torque with a 0.3 bar increase... now lets strap that bigger huffer on the side and see what happens!

Had to laugh when I saw the power curve though... shoots straigh up to 197kw by about 3000rpm and basically sits flat all the way to 7000rpm... as for the torque... it is at around 750nm by 2200... gold!!!

Now we have to decided if we go a 30/37 or a 35/40... at this stage we are going to look at the 30/37 with a 38mm external wastegate on a custom manifold... don't think it will be in until after QLD though... as that is only 2 weeks away! :0

Oh, and thanks for getting my AFR around the right way... I hate going by memory.

I actually got some dyno graphs... and left them on the table on Sunday to show the boys when they came around... I would love to claim that one of them knocked their beer over on it and recked them... but it was me... and worst thing was it was when I was only on my first beer!!!!

Must have been too sober : LOL!

Anyway, it'll be back on the dyno on Sunday... I'll try and get a print of a power run then and scan it.

Oh, and we found that the vairable valve timing wasn;t working... this might have been effecting the top end a little, certainly felt better after it was fixed, but still needs more!

Dan.

And I left the Graph at Bel.

Gotta give a huge rap to Jamie at Waterhouse Auto Care, The car is taking a belting straight out of the box and thus far is taking every last bit of it. Even Bel are impressed with the numbers we are pulling with such a fresh engine. Just goes to show that using the right tolernces make a big difference... So yeah, if your within 50kms of Penrith... get out and see Jamie. (4721 7227)

Dyno runs on Sunday produced 206rwkw and 746nm of torque, the AFR was between 10.9 and 11.1, so still pretty rich there, a little more tuning and we should see 230rwkw and 750nm torque before we strap on the new turbo in a couple of weeks, thank to GCG for all there help with that... Bring on 280rwkw of tyre fryin powar!!!

We are off to QLD Thursday night for round 2... totally out of cash, but hey... we have scrapped by before and will do it again..., then a round in NSW to recover before we head to Tassie!

Can't wait to carve it up at QR on Friday... meight even get to look a bit at suspension set up.

Take it easy kids, and stay sideways,

Dan.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
