Hello

so it is generally agreed on this forum that the power limit for a stock bottom end rb26 on 98 is around 350kw...

now I know it all comes down to how its treated and tuned etc, but do we have any indication of the upper power limit of a stock bottom end rb26 on e85?

mine seems to be making healthy power and is going strong

my brother's is making 440kw on a stock motor and has been going strong for months

know of a few other stock bottom end GTRs making the low 400kws mark on e85

The Mercury Motorsport GTR is making a whopping 600kw on a stock N1 block with this fuel

so I ask you, what do we think the limit is....

this is more of a discussion rather than trying to figure out the exact number because it does heavily depend on treatment, tune, motor condition etc etc

What do you think? Do you know of any other stock bottom rb monsters? or have you seen high power stock bottom ends rb26s with e85 fail at a certain power level??

Discuss :)

depends on what its used for and the boost level, its common to make big power but i would guarantee unless its drag (full load for 9-12 secs at a time) etc a 500-600awkw gtr is not going to last many laps (1/2 hour at a time) in a circuit type situation...

The way its driven is the most crucial part. Thrash it and it wont last.

Squirts here and there should last.

Circuit probably wont last.

My own GTR is 402kw 22psi E72

Has only had dyno and drag time, 2 street cruises

Just have to be prepared if u want to push limits and it does let go u have to accept the fact.

Ur on 370kw now right?

Did u sort out the issue's u are having.

Yep agrees it depends on application and how it's treated.

I do have a 2.8L stroker fund put aside but would prefer not to utilise it if not necessary.

Mine is running well actually... Had a big cut in one if the piping.. Once that was replaced the boost and power was back to how it was before.

Still keen to chuck it on another dyno though... Anyone know of any awd dyno days coming up in Sydney??

Stick it on Jez's 2WD.

Unigroup is having one in December ive been told....would be good to see a few of the bigger HP cars around Sydney there on a level playing field

lets see if they make the power they all say they make

its a RWD dyno only but im sure we can get the front shaft taken out for such events

800hp, or there about - but having they are building a 3.2ltr for "when" it dies.

I think no-one is under any illusion there what will happen eventually, least of all the owners of it.

Its the age old saying, if you cant afford the rebuild then dont chase the power. The fuel being used is irrelevant when its a 15yo motor.

i was impressed when i finally got my r33 GTR, and just stuck a GTX3582r with 6boost manifold twin scroll. power fc with two z32 afm 2 hks bov vent back in, and intank Tomia pump. at the same 1 bar and a good tune stock injector at close to 8000 rpm the check light would flash (injector max out)

124 mph in the quarter dont remember the ET.

but i will never buy another gtst. lol

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
