Wiggins do allow for 8degrees of misalignment per clamp (4deg per ferrule) but in my case it doesn't really matter as I am running solid engine mounts [emoji1]

I don't do things by half measure, except for using a NIStune haha

Nistune is the best, especially with the feature pack and a R35 AFM

As a matter of interest Josh, what have you done for solid mounts?

Got my mate to spin up some custom alloy mounts that position the engine as close to the firewall as possible (10mm further back than standard R33 mounts would position it). Will find some pics of them for you.

Yeah I have feature pack v2, Flex fuel kit and using HPX-N1 [emoji5]️

Wondering if there are any updates on this, would like to see a dyno plot lol. 

Basically in my situation i'm looking for the same thing this guy is. I have a Hypergear SS1.5 and while it makes the power I want I find I really do need power 1000+ rpms earlier. I live in the US and do track and autocross and I find i'm doing autocross way more and I just am out of the power band constantly while when the car was stock I was fine. 

 

I have a FD RX7 that I was going to keep stock but the power on that car if I were to just mod it with stock turbos would be perfect to me. I just want to NOT do that since a completely unmodded mint low mile RX7 is a rarity over here. 

It took a lot of work to get the car running right up to this point and I don't want to replace the engine. If I have to do that i'd just sell the car and use the money from that and put it into the RX7. Which I don't want to do lol.

Hoping to see some results so I can make a decision.

RB25 fixes this.

Not necessarily. In my case part of the reason I want to stay RB20 is because in my autocross class I can run much lower weight with a 2 liter. Also there is another event I participate in that has a separate class for 2l turbos and above 2l. That is the cutoff. Above 2l is against modern V8 cars

There is another class at that same event I could be in for 89 and earlier cars but I would have to increase weight to 3200lbs. 

 

RB25 would be inconvenient. It'sliterally the difference between me facing a C6 z06 Corvette or a S13

Change the rear end gearing.  Make the engine run in its happy zone.  RB20 requires revs.

Finally everything is finished!.............................. Naht.

As is tradition with car builds right near the end i have decided to change a whole heap of things for no reason other than i felt like it. Luckily its really only the ECU and the loom that will be changing, all else will remain the same (with the exception of removing the ABS as the Link can't do that)

Long story short is that everything was in and running using the NIStune and the Garage 7 IPC. Tuned by Jez on 98 octane running 12psi it made 180kw and then went into the shed for the last 9 months as i had lots of other more important stuff going on in my life. Only running such baby boost as this is a 10.5:1 engine and its absolutely begging for E85 and 3x the boost.

To my surprise the car was disgustingly slow. Like honestly beyond belief slow, although this was all just driving around my street unrego'd so never really got up it. But i had forgotten to swap the diff out because it is terribly mismatched to the RB25 gearbox. Diff in it currently is a 3.6 and new diff going in is the more appropriate match for an RB20 being a 4.3 so that should make it feel quite a bit better i would hope. 

Anyway tonight it will get new diff and rego so i  can put some KM on it and then in the next month or two it will get a full rewire, Link Extreme ECU, Plex MicroSDM 100, and as many sensors as i can throw at it. Then off for a full flex tune and hopefully enjoy it over summer!

Post up a graph for this thing.  With only 12psi not that surprising it's making that sort of numbers.  Air mass flow requires some boost, and air comes free!

Gearing will transform the driveability.

No graph but felt somewhat responsive on the street with 9 month old 98 octane in the tank. Drove it for one day and truck crashed into me and wrote the car off. Probably no new updates for a while.

Omg gutted the car was written off? Still no updates to this?

Nothing has happened for a while but it kicked off again recently. Will be same same but different. Complete PRP and MoTeC catalogue thrown at the car. Will keep you updated

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
