What kind of rev limit are you setting on it ?

[murrayis]

Rolls,

Will depend on a few things, If its making power still would love to take it to 9000rpm.

So how is the tuning coming along?

Do you know what was done in the way of matching combustion chamber to the bigger bore? Was the squish removed etc?

[murrayis]

Roy,

Tuning is on hold at the moment due to a few other expenses, The car is running and ready to go to the tuner I hope to have it booked in for the next fortnight.

I think from memory the squish was removes, Paul might be able to say yes or no as he was last to see it.

Cheers

update??

[Saroon]

Anything new mate?

Just finished reading through your thread, motor looking awesome keep it up :-)

[Roy]

I think the RB20 brigade need to pass the hat around and get the funds together to get this tuned. I am mega keen to see how this goes.

[murrayis]

lol That is a great idea Roy, Pretty much the only thing holding me back is the matter of selling my House and building a new one and finding the spare cash to tow and tune the car.

[wolverine]

There must be an SAU friendly tuner that wants to take on a love job...

[murrayis]

This is how it stood on the weekend just past.

[DVS JEZ]

Looks porn except for red wire near top radiator hose. I know in being picky buy the rest is perfect.

[Roy]

What happened to the twins?

[murrayis]

lol the red wire is temp i was tryijg to work out why the temp guage wasnt working - earth issue. like all twins they were good for some fun but decided a single was best.

If your looking for a good tuner go see Gavin Woods, i got mine tuned by him yesterday and he had the whole thing sorted in a few hours, and i was allowed in the dyno room to watch and see the whole process, you wont get ripped off either.

[ian_adzrin]

Yep thats a must, here is a pic of block without cut out's

Here's what its gotta look like when done

Pics arn't the best but you get the idea

Cheers Peter

Hello, i'm ian from Malaysia..

Sorry for the questions but i have search all around and takes me no where..Currently i'm on my project rebuilding my RB20 to RB24..and the prob is the stock connecting rod clearance issue..i have source out for info and few told me that after market RB25/26 rods such as Eagle will fit into RB20 blocks give u clearance around 2-3mm(??) or is it any after market rod will fit without any issue??regarding the photo given,the bottom block was cut, but this is for using with Eagle rods right??is there any measurement that i can refer to cut the bottom block since i'm using stock RB25/26 connecting rods..

sorry for my English..

Cheers..

Hi,

We didn't need to cut this recess for the rods to clear as the rods cleared with 3 - 4 mm to spare. We had all plans to machine them out but decided to dummy it up first just to make sure it was required - And it wasn't. I guess it depends on the rods you use.

On another note, The care visited Horsepower Solutions the other week for a run in tune, While on the dyno they noted an excessive amount of blow by - I told them to push through it to see if it cleared up which it did mostly however it is still there.

We decided to rip the engine out next week however now with the storms that hit Brisbane on Sunday and the 50mm hail that decided to pimple 3/4 of my daily and my missus car The build has again been put on hold.... Yay!

On basic run-in tune limited to 6000rpm and 11 - 12psi of snail power the car was making a very comfy 230~kw at the rear wheels on BP 98. Once I try get some cash together "again" I'll strip her down and check for issues before putting some larger injectors in an seeing what she goes like on E85 and 30psi.

As I think someone said earlier **rattles tin**

Cheers!
