stony Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yea it’s got rather large cams. See signature for specs. Also IT sounds much angrier at higher boost levels. You can almost not hear the waste gate open at the current settings. But at 25 PSI it freaking screams!!!! I also didn’t realize the tires balloon as much as they do till I watch the video. Can’t feel the rise in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 You cant see it in the video but we both have ear plugs in. been there done that > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdmanZ Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'd imagine that the coils would be ok being that they are splitfires. Could be related to the VPro not getting the proper voltage. What's the gap on the plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREW RBZ Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Stony...I had a misfire at higher revs...changed the plug gap to a tighter .028 and it got rid of the misfire/stutter. Of course it could be something entirely different but you may want to give it a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Found the main power cable off the on off switch loose. You could slide the cable back and forth on the stud. Before was only getting 11.8 volts at the Vpro now we get 13.5... Should be good to go!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Well talked with ATI today and sent of my converter to get restalled. Should get it back by the time i get back from eielson mid july. I feels good now that we are all on the same page on what the stall should be. It's stalling on the transbrake at 3500!!! needs to be 5500 atleast. launcing off the trans brake gets zero boost and It's an absolute slug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 All right now we are talking. The new converter is installed and well there is a noticeable difference. Before i could, with ease, foot brake the car and it would not even budge. NOW no matter how hard i try i cant keep the car from moving. and this is with the intercooler piping not installed!!!! NOW to hook up the trans brake again and and intercooler piping and try again. Hope we get some boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amorfin Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You are hoping for boost? I can already feel it coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well hooked up the transbrake and got about 2 PSI but the map in that area needs to be adjusted because as soon as it starts to build boost it goes way rich and just bogs out. I mean oh ♥♥♥♥ get out of the garage my eyes are on fire rich!!!! SO hopefully with some more tuning we can get some boost going without even using the 2 step. Once we get to turning the 2 step on ... Well all i can say IT"S ON BIATCH ITS ON!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Well gents the day has come. I'm off to the dyno. Getting the seat mounts and fender reinforcements welded in, then strapping down for one last attempt to get the Rb dialed in for its first run down the track next weekend with the new setup. If all goes well i should have some pretty decent dyno footage. If not i will have some footage of the last time i will have it running for a while. I'm moving in December ( not sure where yet... damn military) and really need to get squared away for that. Recap First trip blown HG.... Previous owner of the motor reused it!!! Second trip spun... #1 rod bearing...previous owner had issues with it also. fixed that problem with a new r33 crank and brian crower rods. Third trip screwed around trying to fix a voltage drop/ignition problem that ended up being a loose connection:icon50: Wish me luck guys i really want to get this thing down the track but if anything else happens to delay it i may have to lock her up in the trailer (again) let her sit till i get settle in at my new location.

RB26powered74zcar Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Looks/sounds wicked... I think you'll be happy with it. Do get some track vids too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Well ironed out most of the bugs today prior to going to the track tomorrow. the 2 step works BUT the stall doesn't. converter is only stalling to 3K. MUST have at least 5K if i have any hope of getting any kind of respectable 60 foots. I will say however that when this bad boy hits the boost holy-crap hold on. i went out on a side street today to see about how far the car will go before boost comes on and it kind scared me the first time because i wasn't ready for it. The second time i gritted my teeth and stayed in it longer and well 24 PSI feels strong as HELLLLLL!!!!!! I cant wait to get it on the track. will have video so stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well we fixed the voltage drop problem. but that didnt fix the miss. it looks like im leaning out. going to have to upgrade the pump and oh yea get the converter restalled, ITS WAY OFF!!!!! And the best run of the day a 12.2 at 140MPH!!!! no supra jokes please :lol_hitting: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
