PIE - as Will said, my stock ecu reset while I was in the USA (due to flat battery) and the tune of my piggy-back Unichip is subsequently stuffed. I had black fuel smoke pouring out the back of my car on the dyno run! But either way she has never actually cracked 200rwkw - my highest figure is 197rwkw, which was when she did the 12.74 1/4 mile at 110mph. It seems my stock air flow meter and throttle body are the culprits for holding back my power, as 220rwkw is what she should make, given the mods (in my opinion).

As I said on the day, it would be great if we could have a dyno day one day, and a drag day at AIR the next. That would be truly awesome to compare power vs 1/4 mile times. Also would be interesting to weight the cars at AIR before their run to compare power vs weight vs 1/4 mile time and mph.

Even better if we could get a dyno and weighing station at AIR for a day to do it all at once! If only!

Here's my dyno sheet for the day.

And another one when I got my FC tuned.

THe only difference is that on the DAY

i had a Z32

Fuel Regulator

UniFilter Panel Filter instead of Apexi POD

Hence I should still have pulled the same or even better.

My car was sick on the day due to the panel filter being black and clogged I believe. I inspected it today.

Probably go back to a POD for the meantime and get a new panel which doesnt get dirty so quickly. (1-2 months)

Will... She needs a tune, look at those afr's. ;)

I think the dyno is realistic. Not reading low.

Blackwood Auto & Dyno appears to read similiar to Shauns.

The MS-75's Toyota Beast jumped on the dyno, he was expecting around 380rwkw, pulled 390rwkw.

I'm not sure about the dyno reading low, the two VL's that went on it were running very, very healthy numbers! Definatly wouldn't call it low. :)

I was quite impressed by Nathan's number. ;)

187rwkw on only a 2.5" exhaust, small FMIC and some boost. Pretty damn good effort.

I came across this on the Ford Forums...

Sky30's RB30DET with the GT35/40.

Will's Rb25DET.

Sky30's is making the ever so slightly more power up until around 2900rpm where Sky30's begins to make quite a bit more power and doesn't look back.

Interestering observation that an RB30DET running quite a large turbo and not making much if any boost under 2500rpm can keep up with the boosted rb25det. :P

Hi guys-I can't be sure exactly how the run I had on Shauns dyno (391rwkw) relates to the reading from Blackwood (381rwkw) as there were a few variables involved.

The first difference is that the run at Blackwood was done in Shootout 8.1, which is supposedly for forced induction V8s, whilst at Boostworx it was on Shootout 6 (for 6'cyls).

Secondly, the 381 it pulled at Blackwood was the second-to-last power pull after 1.5 hours of heavy load tuning. Hence, the entire engine/cooling system was heat soaked to f**k (poor thing was nearly boiling-and the trans cooler was turning water sprayed from a bottle straight into steam......)

Thirdly, on the rollers at BDT I didn't have the elbow on the front of the turbo to get the airfilter away from the radiator airflow, and so the filter was plugged straight onto the turbo, pulling hot air straight in.

Finally, when I pulled the plenum cover off the other day I found a couple of aluminium shavings in there (from some die-grinding I'd been doing somewhere on the intake system I guess), so I put some fine stainless mesh over all the intake runner bellmouths-and it was still on there when I ran it on Saturday at boostworx.

Sooo-I'm not sure if the modes make much difference to the crown, as it boosts up almost instantly-but I don't really know to be honest. The fact the car wasn't hot on saturday and the cooler intake air would have cetainly pumped the power up, but the mesh over the intake ports would have certainly pulled some off. (I've pulled the mesh out after checking that nothing more has come through though). So as you can see, there were enough things different to cloud the issue.

The Dyno comp at the HPshow this weekend should be a good comparison however. Heats are on sat, and the finals on sunday. I'm also upping the boost a bit too.

Cheers

yes people have also had good gains adding a na25 head to a na30 so i guess it works well off boost although it would have a lower comp. also hed be running better aftermarket management? and bigger injectors, fuel pump etc. i know sky 30 has aftermarket management his mate told me he does all the tuning himslef?. what id like to see is a comparacent between a 26dett and a 30det. im looking at a coupe today and i think i may swap the engines over and have to start off a 30et in the coupe :D then go det later when i have more money. hmm or just put a 25det or 26dett in the coupe :( hmm u just cant beat the torque

I haven't done any diff ratio calcs to make it an even playing field for the VLT.

When I get some more time I'll throw in all of the results I have..

I would like to see Sky30's off boost ignition map.. I am curious if there's much left in it or how it compares to the PFC ign map Bl4ck32 and I are running.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
