I was driving on the RS-R tyre the other day and I cant believe how grippy they are and how well they hung in there after 10minutes of understeering-over driving and our braking myself, ie they would have been way hot!

Shame I cant update the lap times in the Motorsport section, only Admin people can go back and update now :)

I forgot to get the print out when I was ther last, will grab it when the wolf goes in, plenty of scope for the Turbo left, can run the thing at 24-26psi I have been told by garrett & MTQ

I wont be using that much boost until I forge the motor tho, & even then I will probably be happy with 300-320rwhp as it is only a 2L & it goes like hell now with 280-ish @ 15psi & that should 300+ be with around 18-20psi

RB25Det NEO Engine/GBox/ECU has just been fitted & Mod Plated into the Lil War Machine :) so she is no longer a humble RB20.

Pushed the old gurl a little too hard at the last Time Attack Raceday & busted the Engine big-time. Cylinder 6 held compression when cold & leakdown test but as soon as the engine warmed up all sorts of nonsense started-loss in compression & leakdown failure. The engine idled rougher than a hairy goat.

So after careful deliberation & pondering what engine to replace the 20 with (ie 25, 26 or 25Neo) I decided on the RB25DET Neo Motor & Gearbox option-due to more modern tech & parts availability for future rebuilds.

Engine & Gearbox is installed & runs like a dream. Much fatter torque curve down low & with all the ancillary mods around it we got a respectible 222.9rwhp out of the Stock Neo trim with increased fuel pressure(pump®).

Big plans are in mix for her now with larger Turbo, Seimens injectors & that Wolf ECU I have lying around here somewhere. Also a half cage just to keep things relatively safe in cabin for the nutcase driver too :)

Overall goal is 350rwhp & final upgrade of Wolf V4 to a Wolf V550 as to run 2 fuel maps (98Ron & E85) perhaps to around 400-450Rwhp.

Only minors to fix like leaky power steering pump & we will soon see it back to bedlam mwahahaha.thumbsup.gif

use the mounts that come with the engine. they will sit the engine in the right spot. I did the same with mine.

todd ,

need to go for a strap with in it at some point.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
