I've got some sort of Power-Drain going on with the car. 
Left it on charge overnight last night and it didn't move an inch. disconnected the battery and it immediately started to charge.
This isn't going to be fun.


How big/fast is the charger?

I've asked rotos for a new box.

You wouldn't have that rotary shit there, would ya Corey?

I have put the feelers out on Saturday night. A few guys have changed up to sequential's so may have 1 laying around

Im not 100% sure, It has little lights which light up (8 in total and when I tried to start the car it was at 6/8). 


Got a multimeter?

Don’t run a charger on the car if it has no battery. Or the charger will run flat out and the voltage could go high and cook the electronics

That's what I should have done to begin with, hindsight is a beautiful thing though.

I was orginially working towards an event that didn't come to fruition, would have given me longer and more money to build the car initially, but it didn't work out that way.

Also, 1 guy straight away said put a T56 in it and proceeded to show me the bell housing adapter i sent you ? 

If said guy would like to fund my T56 conversion, you can tell him that I'm keen to get it done. However wheels/tyres and a lift on the Humvee is more important than the Cosmo.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
