Oh, and to give a comparison, I could have babied mine around like a grandma, but all of my Kays were driving to and from driving events and at the events. I did 2 track days on one bottom end (Well, actually 3 sessions at half pace each day) and then one texi.

The other one managed to get tuned on the dyno, then make the 3rd session at a track day and everything let go.

Slappers on big turbos do NOT last long...

I've broken 2 now... With a max of 1000KM on them... Pushing 1Bar (14PSi) through TD07S housings, t66 front and a t04r rear wheel.

Nothing below 4000/4500RPM, then everything ramps in over 200/300RPM...

Rev limited at 6600RPM.

On the dyno it made "250RWKW" wheel spinning like a spastic... Using fuel consumption and AFR it would be making around 360RWKW... (69% inj duty on 880cc injectors)

so they were used bottomends not refreshed or anything with twin cam head and big turbo on them?

could i expect anything different considering its got new pistons and bearings?

what exactly let go on them? rods bend or pistons break or the bearings finally had enough or what?

wanna get more than 1000kms out of my rebuilt one hey. if it was a full slapper i wouldnt give a rats. it was meant to be cheap as shit then i decided to go new rings and bearings to refresh it then found i had to bore it out and new pistons. also got the rb25 head full rebuilt so spent extra $750 more than i planned to there. probably just gunna put standard rb25 turbo on it for now but to get some use then il put the big shit on it and wont feel so bad if it lets go.

The bearings will not let go as they are the3 same as the bearings used in aftermarket rods

The rods will not bend until about 600hp or if the tuner detos the engine

the pistons will crack if deto is present but so will forgies they just have a bit more tolerance.

Its all down to your tuner if he is good then your not going to have issues

It comes down to the tune and how you drive it.

My first one let rip with oil surge on a track, mixxed with an over rev when it stepped out in second gear. Well that was the initial thought. Now it appears that the thrust bearings had worn out massively allowing the crank to float and just annhilate everything.

The second motor let rip with what appears to be a cracked oil pump. But this motor spent a shit load of time living life on the hard rev limiter at a motorkhana (Big turbo, very hard to get it to keep the tyres spinning at part throttle without hitting the limiter, if it didn't hit the limiter it bogged and died).

If I drove these motors peacefully, I'm near on 100% sure the second one would still be together today (The first one, probably not... It was a PITA from the get go)

If you can break rods, you're going well. Pistons may let go if it's not tuned properly.

The biggest killer is normally oil control, get a good oil pump on there and doa winged/baffled sump especially if you plan to do ANY form of drivig events (Even if you only do one!!!)

IMO that's the biggest risk with a slapper. My first 30, even though it had forgies, was a slapper crank and rods and the thrust clearance was out.. destroyed an oil pump and almost the block :(

Second pass, I got the crank ground for oversize bearings and it lived a much healthier life (only pulled it apart to upgrade rods and other stuff).

thats it, GOOD tuner

469rwkw on a 3l slapper is the current record in my shop, nothing like a time bomb :/

Slappers FTW if their mates cars who can deal with the consequences if it lets go... a no no for customers :P

Dont just say a figure like that and not give us the details

Sounds awesome I want to know more

std rb30 na bottom end, 26 head and t04z.

about to kill it with a std 1.5jz thats in the shop atm, we matched the output of 469 last thursday... shooting for 500 by the end of the week.

btw both on e85.

  • 2 weeks later...

looks like i got the only genuine slapper here, 285kw@14psi 6800 rev limit

Rb25 s2 Head Fresh Mill clean slapped on to..

Rb30 s11 Bottom end 70,000kms. Un opened.

ACL 1.3mm Metal Head gasket.

GT35r,

and other stuff but not important here.

not daily driven but 6 dyno tunes, 1 sau dyno day, 2 wakie days, 1 hill climb and 1 motorkhana. love it

i'll let you know how long it lasts...

you have a metal head gasket, not a slapper :down:

i've just got myne running a few backs, still tuning atm but i'm running 23psi from a 1.06 gt3076 through an unopened 150k bottom end, standard nissan gasket etc. will get it on the dyno after tuning to see how much power its making

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
