Trent's dyno sure as doesn't read high? compared to RE's roller, i think my car at Trent's was less 2-3rwkw.

From what little i know, i think the main thing in this thread is that 19.5psi on stock internals is a bit of a ticking time bomb, regardless of the tune i thought...

18psi is pushing it, and that's NEO head which flows better, so a non-NEO RB25, 19.5psi i can't see lasting long. Never know though, see how you go :P

ok guys, i'll take it to the track and post the result lol.

For now, when i change gear at 4000 and over there is a cloud of white/blue smoke lol...

Get the turbo checked.

we are talking hub vs chassis... two different methods

The engine will be fine as long as you still have some meaty AFR. 20psi is fk all

There is more to engine wear than just boost pressure. Engine internals have their thresholds based on several variables including torque, heat, engine speed etc.

Agreed, just basing on what I've seen the standard rb30 bottom ends handle (excess of 350rwkw standard). If he is sensible with his rev range and in good condition I'm sure it will last quite a while.

Jesus. Who gives a rats what power it has or hasn't got?

go to the track and lets talk about that. it could have 1, 000 000 hp but who cares!? I just love how someone posts up a result then all the 'experts' around tear them a new one! I think most dyno sheets can be taken with a grain of salt. as long as the tune is healthy who really cares?

I think a simple "good for you" and if you don't believe the results keep it to yourself.

my 2 cents

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
