lol

We will have to wait and see

is that a dare is it

anyways if all goes well ill pickup a standard motor in 2 days and

be back there next week

if not

then yeah we will never know and just have to wait for my new motor

And ill post picks of WHY it lost COMP tomorrow

It makes sense to not bother with forged internals etc. Look how he did with a stock motor. For most people you could go a little conservative compared to what he's getting and be happy for many years!! Unless you are after huuuuge no's that aren't street useable. Good luck with the next stocker..

Rb30 block would be nice

Thread revival from hell!

The pistons are all perfect, they have a bit of carbon build up but not excessive. The ring lands are all perfect, and the crowns show no signs of detonation either.

The reason why it was low on compression...... bend rod!! Hah

I don't know if this is meaningful input to this but I was running 400rwhp from a T04e (.56 trim, .84 a/r P trim) for around 6 months, till I put on this Holset HX35/40. Now I'm running 1.5 bar (22psi) and I haven't dyno'd it yet, but it's at least 70-80hp faster measured with my super accurate butt dyno :laughing-smiley-014: . I've never even had the valve covers off the motor (except to paint them), stock HG, cams, intake manifold, TB, etc. I really think it's all in the tune--and I'm running around 12.1-12.3:1 air fuel with ex temps around 800-850c at the highest.

Nice going.

Mine's still kicking. I'm full HX40 (19cm ex housing) which is a 69lb/min compressor at 1.7 bar, now with 264 cams, 1.2mm HG, RB26 ITB's, and still the same stock bottom end. We still don't have a dyno anymore on island (well, it's still there, but they won't run it--it's a dynojet anyways). I ran out of Z32 MAF a LONG time ago, so we moved it to 100mm piping. I've got 860cc no name injectors that are sitting just over 70% duty cycle with a/f's right around 12:1. You can do the math on that. I run with some of the faster 2wd guys here on the island with built RB26's and smaller T88's (in S13's), but I think they have a pretty rich/retarded tunes judging by the fireballs they shoot and the fact I'm hanging with them.

The guy that owns the shop I hang out at put a Holset HX52 (90lb/min) on his stock bottom end RB25 with a completly built head (solid lifter, tomie everything biggest cams they make for the 25, yada yada) and he stopped turning up the boost at 1.5 bar because he was tickling 95% injector duty cycle on 740's. He also just had his twin plate start slipping on him, so we haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet.

I can't remember if it was this thread or the other where somebody was questioning the hp guesses I was making with my old set up due to my 122mph trap speeds (with full weight--subs, full interior, random crap in the trunk, etc.), so I won't make any here. I'll see if I can get the Gtec from my buddy again and get some new trap speeds, but I spin even in 3rd on 275 nittos, so I think that's skewing my speeds a good bit.

*edit--I do is 4-5 quarter mile'ish runs a week on average with the occasional playing around in the twisties, so I'm not road course racing it all the time like a lot of you guys. That might help longevety.

"Holset HX50-55

For engines of 10 to 15 litres capacity the Holset HX50 and HX55 are specified on some of the world's premium rated heavy-duty engines at up to 470 bhp. "

funny..

Those displacement and hp figures are on diesel engines spinning to 3k rpm max. A good ballpark firgure for diesel turbo to gasoline application is mulitply by 2 :D

If you have any doubts about holset turbo's on gasoline engines, google "holset DSM" for a wealth of info specifically on guys running them on 4G63's (Evo motors). This thread is about what RB25's will do though, and not holset turbos, so I don't want to sidetrack the thread to much going on about them. PM me or start a new thread if you want to go into them further.

I believe you, I just thought it was a chuckle.

my god LNEMUP has some temper issues. so many ppl giving decent input and saying nice work and all he did was get the shits.

That's not ALL he did. LOL! Don't know how long before we hear from him again. I don't think they have many computers there.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
