this post says its a standard bottom end, pistons in the previous pictures of the bottom end look fairly standard and arent dome tops as i would expect in a high comp bottom end build.

no signs of a VCT mod that i can see (your "b-cam" was discussed before)

pictures of the head look to me like it has had a reasonable whack of meat taken off the bottom of it. if the car is running corn juice or race fuel only im thinking even higher than 10:1 11-12?

if thats not it at the moment im not sure what else it could be to give that big of a change

It used to be a 26 head... ??

First and last hot lap for the new engine, seems i have a high flow #2 piston :(

It was a rubbish lap too, I left the buggered tyres from Targa on the rear, as it always used to push. But it appears i've fixed the front end grip.

Geebuz Benny that's rotten news buddy! WTF happened? :(

And yeah, if that speed is reading true, you've got an outright contendeer there! The gearing is way different to mine too. I'm going to assume there's a technical setup glitch there somewhere?

Top speed was a big surprise. It's done via GPS, and is was getting data off 10 sats at the time. I'm pretty comfident it's accurate, the rpm vs gear calculates pretty close, and the lap time would indicate a good top speed since i stuffed the first corner so bad.

i'll have the engine out and head off tonight, but it looks like it might have been a clogged injector, as we test spreyed it at the track, and it didn't mist properly. #1 injector looked heaps better. I've been over the logs, and lambda was .71 at full noise, fuel pressure was 65psi, EGT was ~750 deg, and I couldn't hear it pinging (i've watched the video heaps of times to listen to it too). So i'm confused on what caused it.

What gearing do you have Ben? mine is a std RB20 box, and a std diff gearset (4.3 i think). unless a 4.11 got in there before I got it

I have stock 20 box, and I assume stock gears (4:3?). Yours looks a lot like 32GTR gearing, so maybe 4:11.

There's no doubt your thing looks to have some serious stonk :) Shame about the pesky injector :(

1:1 4th gear at approx 7,800 rpm shift I get 190klm/h.

GPS so accurate hey? Fark me! I come on to the straight at PI at 170-80km/h and I hit 233km/h going downhill, on a very long straight with a short braking area as turn 1 is ~180k/h. Yet you hit the same speed on that lap! I need to pull my finger out and get the Cossie registered so the R32 can go corn juice and more boost :)

comparing data from targa to bens day at the track the extra torque is what helps it punch a whole thought the air. during targa with the not so grate engine it would just about go backwards in 5th. they seem to have a fair jump from 4th to 5th.

what ben has also not mentioned was the massive tail wind he had. haha

it wasnt a grate day for either of us. but my blown clutch is a lot easer than the engine swap, again!

The tail wind at symmons is worth some speed.

Got the engine open tonight. Looks like all the damage was caused by the tip of the spark plug that was missing. piston is full of dents the size of the missing piece, and the side is smashed out of the exhaust valve. Still need to work out why the tip came off

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
