Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced trouble once getting over 300wrkw with an RB25DET. The engine has enough mods under the sun to support it but once you start to run a fair whack of boost(~1.5)the power just drops off after 4500-500rpm thought it was spark so we put in a CDI and didnt seem to help. it seem to be pointing to weak valve springs springs but it has tomei springs, only standard cams though, runs approx. 8.7:1 compression and a 107 or 109 RON fuel. Anyone got any ideas?

Has anyone every had trounble with there VVT/VCT or whatever its called?

Any thoughts would be helpful thanks fella's

Cheers :(

Luke

Is the CDI working properly? What condition are the coil in or does CDI replace the coils?

personally i wouldnt have chosen the CDI route, the HKS ignitor box thingy is the way to go, keep the stock coils that way

What about the exhaust?

Care to list all the mods/specs etc? Might be something a miss in there :(

I'm fairly new to the RB engines, but in alot of other engines, it'd either indicate turbo running out (Although this would equate to a pressure drop, which you haven't mentioned) or most likely the heads/cam aren't flowing enough.

Coil have been replaced with the CDI system theres enough spark there to light half of tassie :dry: I think the turbo is a GT3540? So its not outta puff. Exhaust is 3.5" so that shouldnt be a problem. This is not my car, im just trying to find out some info for them. The head is also ported so that shouldnt be a problem.

On the dyno graph it heads straigh up looking like its gonna too 400kw but then get to 4500-5000rpm and just falls over, not a miss but just faids away and makes around 300-320rwkw

I cant see it being the head its not like it was hugly ported just cleaned up the dags etc. I dont think its the dyno either as they have had more powerful cars on there without trouble with wheelspin.

I will try and get the dyno graph scanned onto computer.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
