Run one of our WR35FS Fuel Surge tanks, allows full power at under 10 litres tank level, and can save you 50kg or so in fuel load :blush:

Thats not important to some that dont race their cars (I think GT-Ricer was being a little tongue in cheek) but it is well important to others that go racing on the odd weekend and want the fastest lap time possible :D

Tongue in cheek about weight savings ? Who, moi? Last Wednesday at EC Burrows Drive day I did 50.0 l/100 (have photo to remember it) after lunch. How long would a half full tank last? 1 session max.

I must have had a very fast, clear run because I did 1:45 when all my other laps in heavy traffic were 1:51 - 1:53. Maybe I "cheated", I am a bit dubious about my timing skills using the on-board stop watch.

Oh apologies.....I thought you were joking about saving weight and money by not running a high fuel load!

The downside to it all is that as you start to get quicker right handers will begin to cause the engine to cough and splutter from fuel surge. Been there, done that :D

Run a Driftbox, takes all the guessing out of lap times :P

Agree

Just fitted Willall mid pipe, what a difference!

Prob need to get the rest of it now, plus some bigger/ram air gear at the front. The factory scoops at the bottom are screaming out to be plumbed up and into the airbox intakes.

Anybody tried that already?

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
