This is for those that think that RB25s dont make a shit load of power and high revs on stock cams and heads.Check it out.

Hi Steve, on this dyno graph the AT is 21 degrees and the IT is 52 degrees.

On BMan's, the AT is 25 degrees and the IT is 31 degrees.

Help me out here, I am confused :confused:

PS; There are a couple of other interesting differences, but more on that later. I am more concerned with the temperature differences first off.

Melbourne is a very long way from perth.

ill be the guinea pig for this stupidly long-running debate

Im driving over there in as many months, and no doubt i'll be @ SST-Auto a bit checking it all out ;)

The final power figure was after a number of runs, and the intake temps get pretty warm, cause when doing a proper shootout reading the bonnet must be down.

Where was the IT temp probe?

:confused:

IT probe is infront of the air-stream going to the pod filter.

So the air coming out of the dyno cooling fan was at 52 degrees? That's a hot day for 11th June (winter), even in Perth. :confused:

I'm not sure whether there breed you dumber over there or not, so I'll repeat myself slowly so you may understand.

The probe is inside the engine-bay, in-front of the airpod, with the bonnet down. After 7 or so power-runs the air gets pretty damn warm in there, the fan is directed at the intercooler.

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!

    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
