Booztd 3 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Noticed a few of my posts have been stickied since I left - cool to know people still appreciate some good info from time to time! I have been busy as ever with my car lately. I fixed a bunch of crap on the car over the winter and in the process upgraded to ID2000 injectors. My 1000's were on the ragged edge of 100% duty cycle so I wanted to give myself some headroom. I didn't make any other "power" related changed except the addition of a GM boost control solenoid. This coming winter I am looking to build an engine for this car so if anyone has or knows of a good RB26 short/long block for sale please let me know! I went up to Sound Performance yesterday and spun the rollers over.I don't think any microphone can do justice to what this thing sounds like at full song....its ear piercing Yes - This car is still on a stock shortblock - so don't be hesitant to push the envelope guys! At a little over 30psi the car made ~770rwhp and ~645 ft/lbs. We went for 35 psi but it mis-fired a few times and we ran out of time to adjust the dwell settings. I kind of battled the car getting hot all day which made for a little pain but all in all I am happy with the car.Here's a dyno chart of the run before it made 770 (the 770 run we didn't monitor torque so I didnt take the print out) and a surprise that was waiting for me when I got home tonightHere's a chart showing the 770 pull vs the 35 psi pull. You can see on the blue line (35psi) it was making 50-60rwhp more than 30 psi at the 108mph mark but started misfiring around the 115mph mark (no RPM signal so no torque values)One of the biggest undertakings over the winter was I painted the engine bay. I pulled everything out and did it right - Used a single stage PPG in superwhite. I think it turned out great after doing a bit of house cleaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booztd 3 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 And hit me up sometime Stony! Booztd3@gmail.com I saw later last year in one of my posts you were asking if I was still playing around with these things - Absolutely! I am working with a vendor right now to develop an off the shelf 10:1 C/R piston and would really like to build a 10:0 RB30 setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booztd 3 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 I haven't done any parts sales in several years. With as low as part prices are on ebay it is really not worth the effort. Now I just stick to completing peoples projects (something you cant replicate and sell on ebay I only ran an auto for a very short time, which was to aid in helping BDE develop their TH400 adapter kit. At that time, I switched back to the 5sp and have been running that ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheftrd Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Great numbers. That's a lot of squeeze on stock pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan280z Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Sorry to butt in like this, Where did you guys buy your RB's? I am currently looking to purchase one for my Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I bought mine while stationed in Japan. If I were to do it again I would go with a Supra motor Or a turbo v8. in fact I have been eyeballing a turbo LS X set up. That setup can be done and running for a fraction of the cost of a RB swap. and make just as much if not more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booztd 3 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) You like LS turbo setups huh? I got bored with my Z32 last year so I built this little gem. From the day I pulled it in bone stock to the garage to a dyno chart and completion was 3 months I fabricated the entire turbo system and did the tuning Over 340 pictures of the build here http://s3.photobucket.com/user/Booztd3/library/S13%20LS%20Turbo%20Build?sort=2&page=1 That car was a TON of fun. Sold it to free up some funds earlier this year Edited June 5, 2013 by Booztd 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 yes I have been eyeballing the LS turbo setup. I would only move on it if for some reason I grenade the RB setup ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booztd 3 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 It was a ton of fun and way more "streetable" than the RB setup. However all that torque resulted in a lot of tirespin for that tiny little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booztd 3 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Attended a local dyno day over the weekend - Had to show up the V8 boys! - 1st place with 732rwhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
