Gday,

Just after some info on the ignition timing map for an rb25det running on 98RON, If anyone has a picture of a load timing map & normal timing map that would be good.

Im having engine issues above 5500rpm & are curious what it should be up there.

Running microtech LT12S.

Josh.

Hey Josh,

Wht engine issue's are u having? Is it missfiring? If it is try gapping the spark plugs down to .8mm, if it still happens it may need upgraded coilpacks.

Its got a hypergear 2530 copy turbo (Yes its small, Its what i had on the rb20 & its ok for now).

Its standard engine at the moment, just running FMIC, 3" turbo back exhaust, Microtech lt12s.

Problem is when it hits 5500rpm & upward it sounds like there are small rocks bouncing around in the cylinders. Thats what leads me to believe there is too much timing in it.

Its not leaning out but im not confident the timing is correct. I have just adjusted the maps from the rb20 engine to this engine. I have cut out only a couple of degrees timing over the upper end of the rev range.

If that turbo was specified for a Rb20det for responsive power then it will be too small for the Rb25det, you will need to reduce timing up top. Or run a larger turbine housing with the existing core.

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
