Yeah man got it. Will hopefully let you know some info in the next couple of days.

Glad to hear your getting a bike Phil. Will definitly have to go for a ride when you get it.

Yeah I miss not having a bike. Very much looking forward to the R6 :)

What is peoples take on this, just got this done 20 mins ago.

The dyno operator mentioned that its running rich, I had an inclination towards this, but wanted to confirm my suspicions. Leaving flame work everywhere was a good indicator though.

What do the standard RB25 run as far as AFR levels?

Main question really, is it reasonably safe?

Car is running 10psi of boost.

RgVW7.jpg

is that on stock ECU?

10.5:1 is pretty rich, mine ran about 10:1 on stock ECU back in the day

around 12:1 is what you want (in short, its not as simple as 12:1 everywhere, but roughly that)

Its a good result if your running stock ECU, I made 141rwkw on 8psi with the stock ECU, hit R&R real bad on anything above that

Nah running Power FC

The dyno operator didn't sound keen about it being so rich and suggested a tune.....to the tune of $600

How 'un-safe' is it to be running as rich as this? Or is he just trying his charm on me?

Eventually I do want to run around the 12-14psi mark, already got a walbro, but first got to save up for the injectors.

Don't run 12-14psi through the stock RB25 turbo (It's the stock turbo yeah?) or you will blow out the exhaust wheel into the cat. Especially with it coming into summer.

If it is the stock turbo you don't need injectors at this stage.

That AFR on a Power FC definetely needs a tune.

I ran 12psi on stock turbo for over a year without any issues, but I know others that havent been so lucky, I'd stick to 11psi.

Its not un-safe to be running 10.5:1 AFR's, quite the opposite really (unless hes checked a bunch of timing at it)

See where your power starts to drop and notice that its also where your AFR jumps to 10.5:1 This is where you will be losing your peak power unless you have exhaust/intake restrictions or some other kind of issue. How does the plot for your boost look? (If they gave you a power vs boost graph)

If not and you want to know, the dyno run should be stored in there dynos computer and you will be able to go back and get them to print one out (assuming the plotted the boost, which they should have)

luck of the draw on turbo's but it's a timebomb IMO :)

Yep, stupidly rich. I'd almost say too rich, it would want to flood the chambers a bit.

Nice power though!!!

Keen as f**ken mustard to see the results of yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope unfortunately not. Have decided I shall be parting my car out (have allready began selling one or two things). At this point in time the money invested into that car can be better used so it has to be done. Never thought this day would come to be honest lol.

And yes Chris, you can have my title :P

:O

don't do it phil, you'll regret it.

:O

don't do it phil, you'll regret it.

I'll be sad to see it go. But gotta move on. House is the priority at the moment.

Robbo's right Phil you will regret it and you'll never make your money back.

Nah definetely won't make it back. However should get a decent amount back by parting it out. I've calculated what I should roughly get back in the parts that I have put onto it alone and it's a decent amount.

Parting out can make quite a lot back, I've done it before.... Time will tell :)

Phil - Carbon A Pillar + 2x52mm gauge pods able to get em?

The carbon A pillars might get ruined trying to take them off?

    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
