Call Vspec performance in Melbourne They may be able to help you out There is a pretty sweet Rb26 in HK atm with a 79mm ultra billet Callies crank, Saenz Titanium Rods, and 90mm BME pistons in a billet RB block, Bullet Race Engineering call it there streetzilla pkg technically its RB3015cc Good luck

Sorry not industrial gas turbines but large gas industrial generators MTU4000. When i was looking up the pre chamber plugs i incorretly assumed this was a industrial turbine not generator

The combustion engine isnt going anywhere, we'll transition to synthetic and or bio fuels / hybrids Honda tested at 40:1 afr and settled on 34:1 with a 16:1cr in a video online when F1 switched to E10 with TJI TJI is the biggest thing to happen in ignition since the spark plug was invented 100yrs ago aside from high frequency ignition which is banned and expensive for large scale oems. You wont have to change anything it'll be a retrofit and you'll be able to tune it on a crappy old fcon v like HKS have done with your existing bottom end I dont think it will be expensive either - Mahle, Federal Mogul, Beru all seem to getting ready to cater to oem applications in anticipation of Euro7 emmission laws - $5m ? I found some for sale for a gas turbine engine from Champion for $350 USD others for $500 for a big German Gas turbine unit I think it will def solve a lot of your issues running Cali's crap fuel esp in regards to knock not to mention the insane 47mpg HKS are quoting for the heritage RB The secret will be in the tune imo

This is one of if not the best RB videos online EVER. Yes the guy in the white 32 was pretty loose and close to hitting gutters but its 3am there's no one around, there's no one to crash into, his car his loss I didnt see him put anyone but himself in danger They're racing on a 6 lane empty road in an industrial area at 3am. Who is going to be driving then? As if you wouldnt hear them open gates coming from a mile away or see the car lights if you are turning right And those parked trucks are parked for a reason its not business hours where they are magically going to indicate and merge into the lane, its 3am! Its a 34 going up to 3rd gear - big deal And they're not no name yobbos, 1320 has 1.4 billion videos views, billion with a B. The other workshops are some of the premier GTR shops in the world Read the comments who all agree its one of the best 1320 videos ever At the end of the day i didnt see them put anyone else at risk but themselves and actually went out of their way to avoid the public How you can call yourself a GTR fan and not like this video....

Well talking about dragging back one from the dead Ive always watched what Spyros did with great amazement, its a tough one. He def proved the yanks wrong with his shop/parts/evo etc who said he was completely fos but his social media, lack of engagement and bold claims without much proof leaves people scratching their head. Im gonna go out on a limb and say he's the real deal though but he talks it up a bit for eg his fb page going back 9 yrs is filled with amazing stuff, iirc he's a former mclaren f1 engineer - his shop is def getting orders that much is obv with the cool stuff it makes His turbos from 6-7 years ago look more efficient thinner much more complex to machine than the GT series let alone the equivalent GTX series of the day. Look how his blades are bent and curved from the center to the outer. look at a GT and GTX and now G-series how they moved more towards this shape over the years, the same shape you now see in Rolls Royce Trent engine on a 777 or 787 - compare that with a T88-33d for eg Billet Vr38 heads 7yrs ago His claims are quite extraordinary but so are the gorgeous pieces he's made for eg the rods, pistons turbos cranks etc He's the only person i can find that makes billet Tungsten alloy crankshafts DLC coated the same as F1 and he just happens to make a short stroke one for an RB26 that he claims is good for 12,000rpm His claims for his lambo turbo kits are outrageous, Aventador 1000whp on 2.75psi on stock fuel system 13.8:1 cr v10 understroked 5l claiming it can make 5000hp lol - i think this is where he loses people or is he just way ahead of the game its a shame he only posts once every 4-5yrs If i had the money id take the plunge on his RB stroker and full CF turbos https://www.instagram.com/extreme_tuners_official_page/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/ExtremeTuners

Yeah they've really just sat on their thumbs, the only things i look for from their scene now is maybe body parts maybe some styling, lighting just cheap sh1t like that Even their aftermarket wheel dominance has faded it feels These mega buck std 24u builds from Greddy just seem madness - oh well let the yanks learn the hard way But I'm interested to see what the yanks can do - yeah i think they will copy parts beginning with the low hanging fruit like braces etc be interesting to see what innovation they could bring to the table. Just need someone like Dodson to make a exact copy of the chassis in chrome moly like they did for the R35 that you can just bolt everything onto panels engine etc to alleviate the prices somewhat Id prefer a modern chassis to the original - some will say its no longer a GTR, but thats just me, Exciting times ahead

Yes thats a good point - how would you inspect the part? and then how would you fix a broken fin/turbulator or passage etc or if one of these vine things on the beam of this rod snaps or bends??

Interesting, i thought inconel had superior strength properties when subjected to extreme heat. My mates newphew says Monash got a million dollar EOS printer thats printing in Ti and Inconel and SS etc Apparently the kids are trying to figure out how to steal and or buy powder to make their own things after hours. Apparently one of the cooler things theyve done this side of the world is making some really efficient w2A heat exchangers in 3d, apparently these things are almost twice as efficient as conventional ones. Cant remember the price per kilo for the metals but it aint cheap and its rather slow to make stuff but i thought cool nonetheless. The future of ICE? I think that will depend heavily on bio-fuels and or how EVs are going. California wont allow Chinese or Korean EVs one of the two cant remember - are not allowed to be parked in underground carparks -what a PITA

No turbo? well Stroker crank, pistons rods, head work, high comp, valve spring retainer cams, os88 run it on nitro methane, get roll bar, get it teched run a chute and skinnies on the front wheels, obligatory green neon under the car You'll still get chopped by a toothless crackhead with a catless stg1 barra xr6 at the lights but at least you never put a turbo on it In all seriousness as someone above mentioned, barrage it with a ZF8hp when funds allow, it will be more fun and cheaper in the long run

Also the $24k airbox isnt even for the RB with TJI so expect more price gouging again. I dont think they'll sell any in Aus - i could be wrong -maybe to a couple of weebs down at V-Spec performance but thats it. A YT called TJ Hunt spent x3 new G80 M3s to have a M3 with a genuine M Motorsport GT3 bodykit Thats a $700,000 exercise in Aus - i think he's already popped a HKS crate motor so he is the perfect type of candidate for these insanely price/performance HKS builds And in relation to that Mahle 3d printed piston in the GT2RS that was 3.5yrs ago, maybe this HKS item is superior in technology to something you thought impossible 3.5yrs ago? In 2018 Mahle we're making a 80mm piston for Ferrari that was 19:1 CR, under 55 psi of boost with a 30:1 AFR making over 800hp, today god knows buts its well north of 850hp despite a 5% reduction in fuel flow with a maximum allowance of 3 engines per entire season. So it seems these things are reliable. When Audi cracked GDI with their FSI and Tdi it went into everything In the v10 era Ferrari brought a minimum of 3 engines per car per weekend This technology is moving very fast, who knows whats around the corner

At the end of the day HKS has retrofitted TJI to a std 05u head without the need for special combustion circulation turbulence properties or chambers that require a new head or a "special head hence not a retrofit" on appearance dude take the L and move i say - its a good time to be a fan wouldnt you agree? I think this technology will proliferate into the near future and it wont require a huge learning curve for the tuners esp if its a std 05u head -Mate I'll laugh if this is tuned on a poo poo F-con V You're saying we're all hoping we can retrofit this without arbitrary considerations to how it left the low tech production line 30yrs ago No we're just saying HKS fitted TJI on a std 05u head got 450Kw and 5L/100kms - your saying impossible for a multitude of reasons which make no sense to which i addressed in my very first post Look when E85 came out all the old timers said its gunk it'll ruin your lines, messes ur AFRs, fuel system, ruins your tune -Go ask the boys on alcohol blah blah Yes but flex fuel systems, ECUs, E85 compatible stainless injectors/lines and massively increased fuel systems without x4 noisy 044s and sensors and tuning knowledge all came to bear very swiftly In the end it was just a learning curve we now take for granted - this could be the same thing in 5-10 yrs time. If you had told Nissans engineers when they were designing the head in 86-87 "with pre chamber you'll get 450Kw and 5L/100kms from a CR 8.6 on 100RON on a 77.7mm stroke with a 87mm piston and laid out the valvetrain parts and turbos" they may not have believed you Uwe Ostmann owner of Xtreme Di and Bosch/Audi LMP genius https://xtreme-di.com/who-we-are/ talks about how old cars need an update he spearheaded GMs race team when they went GDI in the C7 LT1 he'd be a great person to ask about the topic, if not the best person to talk about it, he tuned a 805hp 427 LT1 for a Targa Tassie Ultima https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1VovV5z2QM&t=979s&ab_channel=Rob105 Need to get him and Herman chatting...they're both mad petrol heads (with mad knowledge) Besides its probably just an NGK or Denso item?? for those jap engineers working at NGK/Denso TJI is prob like the switch from sata to solid state HDDs and isnt such an insurmountable task you might imagine it to be... esp if they've just plopped it into a std 05u head All HKS have done is build the bottom end and the valve train and added pre chamber - how is that different or unaffordable for Australians? Yes they spent 100k doesnt mean we have to and of course Jiangshu and HKS are going to charge differently for products All im saying is give it time, are HKS and RB tuning a rip off in general? yes agreed its getting that way you're preaching to the choir will pre chamber be sold seperately? who knows hope so, lets wait will you need to spend 100k to install pre chamber- doubt it In the late 90s a Trust Greddy RB stroker was 10% of a house across the road from the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg. That same house the guy sold the front yard (but kept the house) for $850k to a Dr that put a Dental clinic there The HKS heritage motor all done with airbox will prob be 150k - 10% of a house today in the same area? so it's relative in some way, i was astounded then as i am today of anyone who buys them but I knew 3. 2 personally in Melbourne and the owner of Willal had one in a 33 iirc - so ppl do buy them but its utter madness to me personally imho more so today given its 115-150k with a 2-3m bore std 24u Even going the supposedly cheaper Matooks route for a 3.2 and auto will set you back over 80 iirc so everyone knows what they're up for, it really depends what you want to get out of the car more than anything. No one really gives a shit unless its 1000hp anyway and that never going to be cheap. Cheap Fast reliable pick 2 as they say - 700hp RB is just boring, yeah im a snob On the topic of Reinforced Carbon Carbon RCC on the NASA space shuttle, doesnt ATS Japan offer that for eye watering prices on clutches? 1-plate 1000ps 7k 2-plate 2000ps for10k 3-plate 3000ps for 15k and a quad plate 4000ps for nearly $18,000, yes its outrageously expensive and why tf would anyone...... - people do, simple as I would if i could and u would too if u won the $200m three weeks ago.... the single is supposed to be as light AF and you can pound the sh1t out of them, cant remember the wear rates but ATS are supplying this material to F1 teams Price is all relative - you'd faint if you saw what Pankl charge Ferrari and Porsche GT for crankshafts And you mention "if you're willing to trust metal printers (which I am actually unlikely to put a lot of trust in for parts exposed to combustion" On the contrary, Mahle are 3d printing pistons which they tested in the 991 GT2RS for 8 days flat! The internal channels provide superior cooling etc 3d printing metal is much stronger and heat resistant to forgings as your plasma welding the metal at the microscopic lvl / structure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztWsivHGL54&ab_channel=MAHLE Laser additive layer manufacturing IS the future for the internal combustion engines, the S58 in the m4 has the worlds first head printed entirely from metal and everyones running 8s on shitty prep street doing sub 2.2s 0-100kph with nittos in a 1850kgs car! So it can def handle the combustion pressure in a 1400hp head let alone a piston running WOT for 6.5days then another couple days at various engine loads in a 730hp car Here's Dr Stefan Ellrot from VW showcasing a push rod thats 100g is 3d printed out of Ti-6Al-4V in a 0.5mm honeycomb structure with generative design with a breaking force of 3700kgs https://youtu.be/HRhukQfxbDc?t=188 Try forging that!! Let alone make a driveshaft that weighs 2800 grams and is designed to launch over 100 times without a single issue a 1.36Mw's 1900Nm AWD car with 360 wide slicks up front and 410s out back weighing 1.3 Tn The game is moving on

Well I cant confirm whether HKS have ported the head in a unique esoteric way but assuming its still on a std 05u head which apart form PRP I cant think of another (Bullet promised billet heads a while ago....) head that fits on an RB. Their google translated material says they've CNC machined combustion chamber, cylinder walls to improve cylinder squish area - it looks like a std head, i think it is If they did a new head you'd think they would of showcased it with the Heritage line which had new everything. GDI's vs PFI require different heads thats for sure as PFI requires homogenous mixture before it enters the combustion chamber where as GDI can be stratified or homogenous as needed. Modern piezo GDI for a decent sports car also requires around 5000+ fuel pressure but can also run E60ish stock like G80 M4. This would all def not fit on a std 05u head but the gains are enormous. It helped Audi dominate at LeMans whilst everyone else had port injection Herman said he will do 30 versions of the head till he gets it right on a HPI video/podcast or was that the block i cant remember. Lets wait and see There's a guy Craig Williams started a company called Neutron engines their making the KV48 a bespoke v8 with 2 honda K24s with custom heads - really cool stuff. Anyway prior to starting that he was going to design retrofit cast heads for all our favourite jap cars with batsh1t crazy 1990s' F1 style ports etc. Sounded amazing but i think he's focused on Neutron engines now. I always thought how cool would the RB one be, what a dream Cool thing is I see him and PRP have been collaborating on the KV48 so maybe not a dream after all Spoke to my engineering mate he said for my dream of power on 98 to come true, Id need W2A with an interchiller, interchilled fuel, Pre Chamber and GDI and it still wouldnt work😥

Sure, that person is making the claim that a "TJI as a retrofit in your dreams bitch" would be an impossibility given it wouldn't/couldn't be able to be "retrofitted" on the current Nissan 05u 11040-RHR20 casting. It must then imply the video/product is a complete fabrication either because they're obv deceitful or it can't be "retrofitted" to the existing head and would require a new cast head. Something Im sure we would have heard about given the Heritage Program. So either they're lying or the product does exist but only on a new casting. Personally, i believe the product does exist and may be as simple as a M12 retrofit - who knows? Herman would The point is its too early to write this off as overpriced HKS junk, the added precision you have in regards to ignition and combustion stability by precisely controlled ignition allows for a more reliable and consistent combustion process. Knock/detonation is just uncontrolled combustion, pre-chamber solves this by controlling the combustion process eliminating knock F1 1600cc V6 E10 CR was 14:1 in 2014, 18:in 2017 Id imagine its close to 19:1 atm if not more, running 50-55psi on a 30:1 AFR -no knock knock jokes, no Uncle Rodney stopping by for a chat - Isnt that enough to get you moist? The only negative ive read is that it doesnt work below 0c, which affects no one anywhere in Oz I also noticed some issues with the Extreme GTR RB in WTAC, I wonder what it was whether knock or a lean out and how common that is with big hp GTRs on the limit, something PMC/Brad & CRD may know I just want us to run E85-ish numbers on 98 (with much higher CR) in a perfect world.... my engineer friend suggested using an "interchiller" for the fuel as well. No idea if thats possible or what the pro/cons are Here'a list of some other benefits - This is a pretty new tech compared to what we're currently using now - lets just wait and hold fire before we pass judgement Enhanced Lean-Burn Capability: Pre-chambers can improve the engine's ability to operate under lean-burn conditions. This is particularly beneficial in high boost applications where maintaining proper air-fuel ratios can be challenging. Faster Flame Propagation: The combustion in a pre-chamber can initiate a faster flame front that propagates into the main combustion chamber. This faster flame propagation can result in more complete combustion and improved engine efficiency Lower Emissions: Efficient combustion facilitated by pre-chambers can lead to lower emissions, including reduced levels of unburned hydrocarbons and particulate matter. This is important for meeting emissions standards in modern engines. Flexibility in Fuel and Ignition Timing: Pre-chambers allow for greater flexibility in choosing the optimal fuel and ignition timing for different operating conditions. This adaptability is crucial in high boost applications where the engine may experience varying loads and speeds. Improved Torque and Power Output: The enhanced combustion characteristics provided by pre-chambers can contribute to improved torque and power output. This is especially valuable in high-performance applications where maximizing engine output is a priority.

Made an account just to reply. Yeah its difficult to find any info on this as i think it is only sold with the purchase of the heritage engine i believe. I cant find any pricing or an individual item relating from NGK. I assume its a NGK part as Honda Nissan Toyota etc are all supplied by NGK in regards to TJI As you said the benefits of running a high CR & high boost on low octane plus a more consistent flame propagation, enhanced turbo efficiency, reduced knock and detonation, leaner AFR and optimised timing and control are all a massive win win It seems we might have to wait for a video option break down to find out what the part number is before any of us can test it IRL. HKS are charging AUD $115k for their new RB30, $90k for RB28 and AUD $24,000 for the carbon airbox so it may be a while b4 we see anything lol - All their new turbo range are modified G-Series but i cant find any pricing. An F1 engineer said one of the biggest factors in achieving over 50% BMEP was due to pre chamber. F1 cars are 1600cc running 19:1 CR, AFR of 30:1 making 850b hp on 55psi and are the most fuel-efficient ICE in the world. I agree with you in the future IT IS going to be a big deal. HKS have also claimed incredible fuel efficiency from their 450 Kw (600bhp) RBs -5L/100km (47mpg) *TJI as a retrofit in your dreams... nah HKS has cast a new head in secret🤡 this is all for "marketing purposes" And yes you are right about NIH syndrome not all of us Aussies are like that (my apologies) you were prob speaking to a low iq t@rd with an MSc in Cable TV, (we get pretty sensitive about our fellow countrymen's achievements today (not ours someone else's) in regards to RBs compared to what Japan was doing 22yrs ago if that even makes sense) ie we will get angry if you compare Japans Rb development 20yrs ago with what we are doing today - we'll be angry on behalf of Nitto (who prob doest care btw) that you are comparing HKS parts with Nitto which is made by Jiangsu Songlin Automobile Parts Co., Ltd Its not like HKS were making F1 engines 30years ago polishing cranks to 1 micron whilst Jiangsu had the world record in....not sure actually but the point is you insulted my fellow countrymen's ego, I dont care if HKS was running 7s in the 90s - in future do NOT discuss any new RB part without first checking on here to gauge our sensitivities if thats ok We will also get angry if you compare HKS F-ConV with a Motec M150 but not see the irony of not having a Motec crankshaft to compare Its not all of us Speaking of secret cast heads Herman from PRP has released x 2 new cast heads for the RBs and said they will never stop revising it so maybe pre chamber & GDI on an RB isnt so unrealistic. Hermans heads and blocks have been in the talks for years and years and people should get their hands on both this year. Maybe its just a waiting game for the tech to filter down
