More photos to come this weekend including interior. The car only gets driven on the weekend and I have home renovations that require funds. I would love to keep it but it is alot of money to have just sitting in the garage.

nice car mate. would of thought you would have made it well in to the 400hp mark with the gt35 and 3 litre bottom end on 20psi

Yes, I am sure with a bit more timing that is quite possible. My tuner likes be conservative with his tunes. The car previously had a stock 25 in it with the same turbo setup. Only 3 degrees of additional timing was added over the RB25 timing and the 3L runs about 8.2:1 compression. The head also has stock camshafts.

wot boost is the car tuned to and wot power is it making? cheers

Tuned to 20psi and made 373rwhp. The motor was bought last year from a guy who had it in his VL commodore. The owner said no expense was spared on the engine build and he had it tuned for 24psi with a T66. The dyno graph showed 640rwhp. So I am confident the motor has more potential in it. Ultimately I achieved what I wanted from the setup so had no reason to lean on the motor.

Cheers

hmmm no expense spared on the motor.... stock rods pushing 640hp thats a bit of a worry. hows that fuel pump handle? herd the walbro's only have enough puff for about 240-250kw? wot did ur tuner say about the pump? who tuned your car? and do you have receipts for the rebuild? sorry bout all the question, I am interesed though, cheers

Yes, the owner supposedly spared no expense on the motor although he still used the stock head and cam shafts - go figure. I saw the 640hp power figure on a dyno chart but am not willing to comment on its authenticity or accuracy. In my experience there are many factors which govern the recorded performance of a car on a dyno hence the variations in power between different dynos. Needless to say a cars performance down the quarter mile gives a good indication of its potential. With the old RB25 motor and GT35R running 16psi (293rwhp) the car managed a terminal speed of 110.5mph (low 12s) despite the problems launching the car with the old suspension.

I did get some receipts from the owner of the engine but they only cover the machining work and engine assembly and show purchase of the ARP gear. The owner was quite willing to pull the head off to show the forged pistons although I didn't see this as a necessity given my ultimate goal of not more than 300rwkw. I was also told the block was O-ringed.

Walbro is great. I have provided it with a direct power feed thanks the battery now living in the boot. I expected the fuel pump to limit the power the engine made and would expect it to be close to its limit.

My cousin, Phil Laird, tuned the car. He is a well respected tuner in Australia.

The Electronic boost controller has 3 settings. Normal day to day driving I run on setting 1 which is 13-14psi.

Hope this sufficiently answers your queries.

Cheers

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
