yeh exactly

which would point to an overall fuelling problem, not an individual injector. a problem which should come up on the AFRs. bcos if theres supposed to be heaps of fuel according to the o2 sensor where is it all coming from? its not goin through the combustion chamber...

is it possible that the dyno is faulty? (maybe a dumb question)

I think I'll make a few hp, it needs a couple to push the whale over the 1/4 in 13.3seconds.  

I'd better clean my engine pipes out before I go. They have almost 100,000kms of engine blow by crap in them. even the bleeder valve has sludge coming out of it.

cbf sifting through 120 posts to check, but wouldnt it be fair to get a dyno figure of the "current" state of tune, after all this is the state of tune you recorded your times in.

No cheating!

The dyno I had done 230rwhp @4700rpm with ping issue, IS the state of tune I ran the 13.3 with.

I cbf looking up the threads that contain the details of the night at the drags story, it contains the description of the symptoms I have still got today.

Plugs are white in modern engines unless very rich so be carefull

reading plugs if you don't know what to look for.

The sensors fine and changed often and this week we've had

heaps of race cars on the Dyno for the 2 day event and some

have made big HP and not broken so the sensors good but will

need to be replaced after the all Avgas.

my plugs showed no signs of leanout, so it makes the problem even more wierd. It's possible still that one piston is running out of injector flow at the ping rpm.

I've gapped the 7s down to 0.7mm now and will see if this helps any.

I cleaned the intercooler, it had a reasonable although thin coating of blow-by oil in it. So that should help a little.

When my back (now completely stuffed) has healed I will change the fuel filter and I'll think about the upper plenum removal so I can get at the injectors.

On the same dyno my car only has about 190hp at 4700rpm to make 245hp peak power by 6630rpm. I figure once sorted dave should be making around 280hp :)

I know what you're saying Rob but I tend to disagree.

Rev210's car has a stock turbo, intercooler etc. With only boost and safc I doubt any r33 could record 208Kw at the tyres on a properly calibrated dyno...

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
