Yeah we gave it a bash yesterday - only did a hp run though - too hard to find enough cop-free road to get up to the 170km/h or so needed to do a 1/4 mile.

Anyhow, the hp came in at around 220hp (160rwkw), but this is low. It was done on a bumpy piece of road, I lost some traction and I think the bumps messed with the figure.

Check out my dynos here and the one with torque figure here. The red figure is the pre-latest mods and blue is current. While the peak power figure hasn't gone up that much, the mid-range torque and power gains are excellent. Note too, that at afr's of around 11:1, it is a conservative tune, with plenty left in it. However, I don't want to blow up my engine, so I can run it at this figure all day without risk.

Hope to catch you all at AIR next Wednesday - it is going to be a massive night, with some nice cars heading out from NS.com and PSI too! The best bit - NO V8s or slicks .... only true 4 & 6 cyl street cars!!

I believe gates open at 5pm, racing starts at 6pm. I hear rain may be forecast, but you never know. I think it is $17 to spectate - about what you pay for a movie, but with MUCH more excitement!! :P

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
