dog box might be up for sale Roy

once the "lay shaft"(bit beyond my knowledge sorry) is fixed.

From what I understand the stock lay shaft was retained to keep the box quiet but it meant that it would break every now and then savage rises in torque and power will do that

the box is at ppg getting this replaced I believe

stock bottom end my arse hat

1400r,

unsure if its your mates or not.

A couple of days ago Shaun (Boostworx) had an rb20 with a t88 strapped on the side of it. Made around 346rwkw?

Hows it boost in the first 2 gears?

None the less thats a rather impressive figure.

Having recently looked at some RB20 rods, they look to be strong things. The pistons, well who knows how strong they are, if car is tuned well and its not stressed for long durations????

The bearings will cop a beating, but again the piston speeds etc are relatively low because of the short storke ... i would not be surprised if its a freshened stock bottom end?!?!?!

If i can get an answer on piston sizes i have given myself a $500 budget to build up my spare motor and see what power/revs the pin come sout of the grenade

When I blew my original rb20 up I took a good look at the rods and I would think they could probs take a fair beating and all.

My 1st impression was "bloody hell they are short rods.

I would think that the bottom end if new(or good nick) could take a close to 300rwks for quite some time. As long as there was no det and gas temps were kept down a bit. The 8.5 cr would help alot too.

Of course this is just an opinion and I could be far from the mark.

Oh well.

thats the one work mates car I havent been in the car my self so not sure about boost in the first 2 gears

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
