an up side to a 30 would be because of the lower revs, (all us normal peeps) you wouldnt have to spend a heap on the head for it to hold together a 9k+

i mean if its a whole 1000rpm earler in lag.. it a win win in my opinion for the rb30. but if its not 1000rpm better in responce......

also... if we could find a rb30 with 400kw and a rb26 with 400kw and compare the dyno graphs that would answer alot of questions.

excluding the freak 450rwkw+ monsters out there.. just an honest as posible comparison... i mean if "most" rb30's stop making power after 6k and flatten out.. i could live with abit more lag and have it keep making power all the way to 9k.

Guys, as soon as the ECU is fixed, ill turn up the boost and post a graph. Paul can then overlay that on his if he likes, not for highest power output, but for "usable power" as thats the point of this thread :P

Please dont forget mines not a full on drag ported head and has far less appropriate cams for internet arguments. With that said, pauls graph is at 25psi, so ill tune it to the same for comparison sake

Im not trying to compete with paul, but trying to show the 26 vs the 30 with so many other variables being similar

Sure?

EBC said 18psi before the microguess came out today (maybe i got the BAR to PSI conversion wrong? You generally are good at remembering that sort of stuff though) :P It was changed during the road test

Either way, im dying to get the autronic fixed and back in the car and get it over 20psi

One thing you guys considering doing the RB30 conversion will have to remember, is that good blocks are getting harder to find. There's a heap of stuffed ones out there, but good ones arent that easy to find. Cranks are worse again

was 20psi :D

C'mon Steve-o don't be soft...lets compete!

lol at 20psi 450KW was a walk in the park for my 26 on BP98...at ALL 4. Not a paltry 370...and that graph shows 2500-3000 rpm of peak torque...congrats. My graph is almost double that!

go to the RB29 thread to see me vs Ben's mega dollar mega engineered torque master.

yes he had more power under 2500rpm...but who drives there?... my midrange was far superior...and that was the day after my car was run-in with an 11.5 tune just nudging 22psi with minimal timing.

Care to go up against my 500KW graph Steve-o...it has actual tune and only 25psi...the power delivery and torque shits all over my 22psi run-in effort. Dont go on saying ive got a better head and cam selection etc...thats my good fortune...you chose what you put in your engine...i chose what i put in mine.

this is going to be good...lots of fun with a bit of niggle.

and for those standing on the outside looking in Steve-o and i are actually friends. (for now :P )

What is peak torque on that run??

600Nm?? Thats only 440 odd ft pound if im not mistaken??

Mine takes 1.5bar to make 452Kw.

Still a 2.6 with GTRS and everything else.

From memory it just cracks a tonne (Nm) at roughly 1.2bar and tad over 1300 with 1.5bar

I do like the 3L but I have to retain the original block/ capacity so 2.6 is my only option.

lol. yes the cam and headwork really are where it all takes place.. isnt that so paul :P

i just built a monster Tomei 2.8 with a mega buck head on it...60hrs+ in labour on the head alone! Its one of our Stage 3+ race heads...pure automotive pornography.

The heads are what makes the difference and i believe we have got them spot on for the 26...thats why ive never really entertained the RB30 stuff...ive never really needed to. Im going to build one though...they seem to send people who have them crazy! Just look at Stephen Hugh-Smith and Robbie Ward...complete nutters!

im a bit dirty having to hand the 2.8 engine over as its better than mine. Its going in a GTS-t owned by a fella in his early 20's! Hope he knows someone in the tyre and rear driveshaft industry...he's going to need it.

Roy you need to get in 2rismo's ear...he spent mega dollars on a rebuild only to go slower than his original unopened engine..lol

Oh here we go...

Stock GTRS's? :D

Big power figures are nice, but torque is what im chasing. Maybe another 70/80 kw atw but as much torque as possible. With that said im trying to find out what cams would be best for the next motor (which is coming together, starting at bottom end first though).

I promise the next motor in the GTR will be a suprise to a lot of people after my "RB30 for life" antics. But thats for another thread once its finished and run in, and it'll stay quiet until then.

At the end of the day this is a comparison thread, so why dont you make it 100% fair and take your head off, put it on my RB30'd GTR and dyno that combo? :D

Short of that, we'll just have to see whats wrong with the SM4 and be patient until its all humming along. Know anyone who can fix it and not charge an arm and leg? Would love to know how the thing broke...

Correct.

I now know the common element between your engines, and have "seen the light" so to speak.

oh no@!!!

yes paul. you and i need to sit down and come up with a shopping list for me and a to do list with my nice new flex shaft grinder :D

not here but. next time i see you. :D

Compak Attak is in a few weeks come have a chat then...Mark Jacobsen will be coming down to prep the car so he will be with me...you can pick whats left of our scrambled brains. :P

So now its not the bottom end that makes the engine its the head. I agree with that one.

Build your own head...your not getting mine. Actually i will build you one if you like...ok...no problem.

Send the SM4 back to Ray Hall...he will fix it for you for free. Ill organise it for you...ok...no problem.

Knowing the basis of the trick is one thing...but do you know to perform it?

    • I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.
    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
