We have just come online to have a quick sneak & thought it would be good to let everybody know what caused this massive wheel stand. We have just rebuilt the 600 ci motor & made a new sheet metal manifold which produced an extra 100 HP & 30 ft lbs for a new total of 1260 HP & 875 ft lbs.We also designed the manifold different to all previous manifolds which resulted in an unbelievable acceleration rate on the dyno, like nothing we had ever seen before.

Whilst testing the motor we also used VP SVO5 & this fuel has a lower spec gravity to C14+ which caused the floats to actually run slightly low. It took 3 runs for us to figure out why the car had not shown any more power or even quicker 60 ft times. This was due to the front jets being uncovered when wheel standing. After we raised the floats back up the engine did not stay at 6200 rpm off the start line for 2 seconds like previous, instead it went straight from 6200 to 6700 & continued to climb rapidly to 7500 whilst still moving upwards. This extra acceleration cause the wheelie bars to bend further up & bottom out on the rear of the car which actually cause them to bend & not hold the car down at all, like it has done for 3 years now.

When i left the line i knew that something was wrong in the wheelie bar department due to only seeing blue sky for way too long, but I knew if I got out of the throttle the car would come down & totally smash everything underneath, so I kept my foot on the throttle until it came back down totally. After the car settled I removed my foot only to realise that the throttle was actually stuck on full. I looked at the tacho & it was somewhere around 8600 & new the rev limited was set to 8700, so as soon as the limiter took hold of the motor I selected neutral & hit the kill switch to end this wild but exciting ride.

I will be online for another 10 minutes, please feel free to reply if you would like to ask any questions.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
