stony Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The right side of the block just behind the oil filter, and drilled and tap hole with a cap or anything installed? I had never seen one like this and have been told by several people its not drilled .... but mine is. Its the oil squirter passage I'm going to use it as a oil pressure sender mount point. here is a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Stony, Should be fine for the Oil sending unit. What's the deal with the original sending unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 I had a HKS oil filter relocator and cooler installed. The stock cooler, pressure and temp sensors were removed to install the cooler. I'm not going to use teh cooler initially to see how it runs at the track. If it looks like i will need the cooler I will reinstall it.

stony Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 This must be sililar to the extra drilled or undrilled dipstick location. some do and some dont... Thanks guys for the inputs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 RB30 has it too, with a pressure sensor attached on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Looks to high on the block to be the alternate dipstick location. My RB20 has a knockout for the rear dipstick and it is located about an inch from the bottom of the block. No threads, just a press fit.

Careless Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Looks to high on the block to be the alternate dipstick location. stony was refering to another thread where the dipstick knock-outs on the pan rail are on some blocks, and not on others. similar to what he's seen on these RB engines. he's not saying it's the dipstick hole itself, silly!

stony Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Anyone have a extra set of ignition coils for a rb26???? Mine seem to be on the fritz. Engine made awesome power ....557 rwhp @ 1.2 bar or 18 PSI!!!!! rapped it out to 9K with no problems. But as we tried to dial it in more it started to develop a hi rpm miss. I think its the coils. It got so bad the motor wouldn't go past 7K under boost. kinda like a rev limiter. So anyways... anyone have a set of coils they would be willing to loan out for troubleshooting... stock is fine Here's is a video. you can kind of hear and see the miss. Unfortunately didnt get video of the 9k run ... it sounded awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Stony, i've read that a lot of people have bench tested the splitfire coils in one way or another and saw them to be lack-luster upgrades. Is it possible that the HKS Fcon can run LS1/Suburban coils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Im looking into a couple things. Yhe splitfires are only marginally better then stock so not sure why people pay 500 bux for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 cuz they're blue.... DUHHHHH The LS coils seem to be the cheapest way to excellent spark. As well as the buick waste spark system.

JSpecGC8 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Stony, i've read that a lot of people have bench tested the splitfire coils in one way or another and saw them to be lack-luster upgrades. Is it possible that the HKS Fcon can run LS1/Suburban coils? I am going to say this once yes the Fcon can, the problem is how many actual certified folks are available to tune the Fcon here in the states.

Makenski Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 you can always retrofit a coil, this will help eliminate the having to keep replacing the rb coils. I seen people retrofit a buick 3 coil pack for a wasted spark system, it uses the stock ignition module. But again you can go individual coil per cylinder... it's a simple fix, better spark and it allows the top be a bit cooler, and more breathing space.

stony Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Found the problem.. it was a loose connection on the on off switch.. i must have at one point loosened it for some reason and didn't tighten it. have a full 13.5 volts at all point now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
