Hi there,

Here is a list of all the things that I have done to the car since I got it. I am really a beginner with this car....

HKS cat back exhaust, HKS fully adjustable suspension, cross drilled rotors all round, Apexi Power FC computer, heavy duty clutch with lightened brass button flywheel, Eboost 2. argo h beam rods, acl forged pistons, arp head studs, N1 oil pump, N1 water pump, gates racing timing belt, tomei 260 poncams, tomei adjustable cam gears, mls metal head gasket, 2 garrett 2860 turbos, tomei sump baffle

Who also would you recommend for a good tune? As far as I know the adjustable cams have'nt been adjusted also

Thanks

There's at least four different sizes of 2860s - do you know which ones you have? The larger ones will have more power potential but produce power at higher rpm. Have a look through the RB26 turbo upgrade dyno sticky in Forced Induction find sheets to compare to.

Not many people tune at 12.5 AFR when the boost is up - typically its more like 11.5 or 12, which will be safer for the motor. Maybe they're running less timing to try to compensate??

Did you ask Envy what happened at 185kms?

AFAIK Jim at Croydon racing and Yuvas at Unigroup are among the most respected tuners in Sydney.

The good news is i've seen worse

The bad news is i've seen plenty a lot better

But, without knowing which 2860's, how much boost and a myriad of other things... It's hard to say where yours sits exactly.

My guess, being only 320rwkw, its the smaller ones, in which case you have some issues.

I've never heard on "envy", are they well versed in RB performance? IF not, your money might well be better spent at a number of other places.

Thanks for the advice so far.....I am certain they are the dash 5's. If that makes any sense. The car was'nt actually tuned at Envy, they just had a Dyno Day which I took my car to.

Envy won't able to confirm what was happening at the end there on the spot, what suggestions would any of you guys have?

By the way I think the boosts are set at 15, 17.5 and 20 PSI

Thanks

    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
