Alright guys.

A recent topic: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Tuned-1002hp-R34-T88-t237291.html has got me thinking.... How much power can you milk from an RB engine?

I'd like to hear from others who have recent links to workshops or personal projects that state with proof their hp/kw ratings.

All RB's are up for discussion. 20's 25's 26's and strokers.

I have heard rumous of 1500hp monsters :banana:, but I've been unable to verify the fact.

It would be interesting to see what the greatest are using.

Project GTSt by GTaRT Racing in the UK.

RB25DET with T51R and all the fruit. Has run a low 9.

Actually that car is an RB26DET with a T62R and run a high 7 now :O

Heat Treatments are the most powerful I know of, "over 1200hp"... has run over 190mph on the 1/4 mile. Considering there are ">1000hp" GTRs which have only cracked 160mph, it must be making a fair bunch.

Are you sure you are not getting confused with the American version Project GTST?

Some other performance company in the US also has a project GTST which has run a 7.

UK car is black.

US car is silver.

I am 110% sure. Check this link, and on that page you'll see links for the progress of each year - you'll find you are thinking of the same car and that it has just had huge progress over the last couple of years. John went from GTArt to Abbey Motorsport and from RB25 to 26 when things started getting really serious:http://projectgtst.com/index06.php

Certainly has come along way! Why does everyone jump on the 26 bandwagon lol

In its form as a 25 did they think that is all they could squeeze out of it?

EDIT: Maybe i should swap my GT3076 for a GT3582 lol

Milking usable power and milking 10000RPM Power are two things.

Turn boost up to 2.5 Bar...get it on a dyno...add racing fuel and presto, you either have a

blown engine.....or you get a 1000+horse power figure.

Most of the vehicles you are talking about get a re-build straight after their run.

Not many here want to see if there motor will handle that sort of punishment :kiss:

I'm not convinced they gave the 25 a chance, they blew one up but I don't think it was a 25 limitation so much as oil flow and they may (not 100% so don't hold me to this) have had issues with the first 26s until they sorted it out.

GT3582Rs are an aweful lot of fun on 25s! GT30R is definitely more punchy, but above 4000rpm a GT35R starts becoming rather nuts - 20+psi and you're looking at a car capable of into the 10s with the right setup. Huge fun! But no traction on the road.

Oh yeah, Heat Treatments GTR will be tuned in a matter of days with its latest changes - I don't know if they'll make the figures public or not but if any indication is given I will post it. I suspect if RIPS maintains his madness and pulls it all off we may well see a new worlds fastest RB powered drag car record.....

Hahahaha nice, liking it so far - then? :O

I wonder what makes more power given equal displacement... the 2J or the RB? Guess all one would have to do there is bench flow the heads against each other really.

one thing is for sure. the RB is the fastest LOOKING motor ever made. its like Nissan windtunnel tested that thing, and the 34 rocker covers have a nicer finish than most people's cars.

      NC MX5

      So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      Aside from the fact it is likely fuel related if it is black, the symptoms otherwise sound like worn valve stem seals. Oil gets past the worn seals when the engine is off and burns when the engine starts. If it happens on deceleration while driving (puffs of white smoke) that is another valve stem seal symptom because oil gets sucked form the head into the combustion chamber under vacuum with the throttle closed. They can be replaced in the car if you have some way to keep the valves closed while working (eg compressed air into cylinders) but is much easier with head off.

      Alright, fair enough. Expected as much. Possibly, yes. However the kit is apparently not including every single hose and it is out of stock too.

      I sourced my silicone hose kits from Just Japanese. Their current link is what I posted above but supplier might have changed over the decades.
