Default skyline map touch up yesterday less boost more power :)

my fuel pump was loosing a bit of preesure so when it was fixed had the map altered a bit to suit. i was previously running 536 bhp at 1.4 bar, im now running 1.2 bar at 544 bhp
we did see 555 bhp but that was injectors 98 % and abit more ignition than hed like to run so pulled it back to safer level. my 660cc need uprating for 800cc injectors now and 600 hp should be in site at 1.4 - 1.5 bar

its extrememly good considering its got 2 turbos on it rated at 350 hp each. being 2.6 and 8 - 1 cr its easier to live with that a big turbo yb.

Out of interest, what would you pay for something like this... with the engine work etc already done??

from what ive seen for sale 8k - 10k but even then its not a new engine. lots are straight from import so its a gamble as to what internals the engine actually has.
there is one for sale 600 bhp mint rb motorsport built done i think 4k miles but its Ł15000

IMO tho, if I wanted 600bhp out of one, i'd buy a car I liked for a reasonable price and build my own engine so I KNEW what was inside it!

its all relevant though your xe is making 229 bhp at 1.5bar per litre of capacity.

my rb should be 231 bhp at 1.4 - 1.5 bar per litre of capacity.

Mines a little less than that, its slightly over 2.0 litres

Having more cylniders is great though as it means less load per rod etc, loads of advantages to more pots.

Next big build I do I want to do a V8

Anyway, dont want to drag this thread off the topic of this very cool skyline engine, so I'll chat to you about it elsewhere mate

while richard was mapping he said its making very good power for the boost and is a fuel hungry engine. normally 660 cc would make 600 bhp.

tr racing said the head has had extensive porting work and inlet matched so im assuming thats why its making such good power and using so much fuel at such low boost. afr was 11.8 on boost to 11.5 near the limiter.
wheel bhp was 460.1. they were very good gave me 10 printouts showing all boost settings, afr etc.

Assuming your fuel pressure was correct etc, if you are putting that much fuel in without making the power, it implies the engine isnt efficient somewhere as its certainly not running mega rich at that AFR (which can drop power), timing would be the obvious place to look but im sure he has done that.

A ported head certainly shouldnt make the engine consume more fuel for the same power for example, so it would be interesting to hear what he thinks is causing the problems?

richard doesnt think its a problem he said to me you cant generalise with these things all engines are slightly different. he could of made maybe 560 - 565 bhp but injectors would of been 100 % and he said he wont run it any higher than 90% so it has some headroom incase any fuel pressure issues arise. pressure is set at 3.5 bar base and its holding 4.7 bar on full boost. when the 800cc injectors are fitted it will be back down to 3 bar base. he had it at 555 bhp but said to me hes got to take abit of ignition out so its safe. im gonna run it about abit now til i get used to it and want more , atleast i have plenty of tuning headroom left with the engine not needing to be touched internally.

Is he not comparing it with other engines of the same type though?
Why should yours have a 10% lower BSFC than other RB lumps he tunes?

Just curious mate, im sure you couldnt care less about on boost economy anyway, so im not saying it actually matters in that respect, I would just want to know why, could be indicating oil contaimination limiting the timing etc.

he was concerned about my injectors to start with when i said hoping for 600 bhp. tbh you know alot more about these things than me mate but he was happy and said its a good strong engine.
forgot to say it was richard bell at rising sun performance.

Yeah I saw on the graph it was Rising Sun.

It's where you said "normally 660 cc would make 600 bhp. " that made it sound to me like there was therefore an issue if your engine couldnt make as much power as other RB's on the same injectors.

But If Richard Bell says its fine, then im sure it is, might be as simple as something like having more overlap on your cam timing than most other people or whatever, or maybe he normally finds they prefer being in low 12s which would see a lower BSFC.
If it was mine, I would just want to know WHY it was different, so I would know if that was a good or a bad thing.

sorry mate i got that a bit wrong

richard said from the start hes unsure on injectors and its gonna be very tight.

ive read on the gtroc forum people saying there good for around 600 bhp.
but thats owners i guess and not tuners.

Ah, suddenly it all makes sense!

So on an RB your injectors are good for 600bhp on a forum, or 540 on a set of dyno dynamics.

I know which figure is more important


Going to be a hell of a car at 1.5 bar by the sounds of it.

Any pics?

richard pmd me last night he said its gonna be bloody quick at 1.5 bar

current rear wheel power is 460 bhp. ran in 2wd as his rollers ar only 2wd.

should be over 500 rear wheel bhp at 1.5 bar.

same make but different garage.

he did a run before anything was touched and i have a before and after graph.

but its only correct up to 6700 rpm as it was getting abit lean so he backed of.

red is old set at 1.4 bar.
blue is new set at 1.2 bar.

:




460 is rear wheel bhp, graph showing boost and afr curves.

Quick Reply: skyline map touch up yesterday less boost more power :)
