finally got it running but......

[J2fast]

so ive been working on my rb build for about a year now and had a few motors in this 240sx. i first got it running back in Jan for bout 3 wks but the transmission broke so sourcing parts and research took awhile so i just bought one. then while the car was down i desided to put another turbo in it. i went from a 50 trim which i made 520 whp to a turbonetics T72 turbo which i have right set to 15psi (dont know the exact hp) i had 880 injectors and replaced with 1000's (im on e85) the other motor had a lil bit of a porting job when i got the motor, head gasket, greddy timing belt, head studs, r34 rb25 n/a short block. now that motor was ok on power(at the time i thought was really good) it was a lil bit sluggish in the off boost parts. well after i had put the new turbo and injectors on that motor i had took it out and not knowing one of my fuel pumps failed and BAM there goes cyc #6. so i got a new motor completely stock in put it in there with the same aftermarket parts with the same tune and this motor rocks hard. so far on my tune im getting that turbo to be at full spool on 15 psi at 4800 rpms an redline to 7k( will raise when i change the belt, its loose). idk the power but it fells ALOT better than the other setup by far i dont much pic of the car but ill show you the work over time and what happened to it after the last motor blew, it caught on fire. i will post new pic of my new setup prob tonight

this is at the car show in Jan old setup




this is when we got it working the first time






this is what happens when cyc #6 has no compression and alot of blow-by

I like the chicks. What are you hoping to make with the E85+T72? Sounds like a pretty crazy setup for a stock short block.

how does a bad cylinder make a car catch on fire?

I'm hoping to make about 500-550 whp. I build the setup for highway runs mostly but I may switch turbo later due to the bad lag

I have rb26 internals at the house which I plan on using mid next year

It had a lot of blow-by an the oil caught on fire when it jumped to the turbo

[Joe]

blowby usually doesnt throw oil out of the engine...

it certinaly can, if he didnt have a catch can setup or just had the breathers open

I have n had a catch can setup but cyc 6 had no compression at all. It even blew the catch can hose off first and then the dip stick which is where the oil came from to start the fire

[Joe]

there we go, well that sucks man. hope you can get it fixed

and anyone that runs open breathers on a turbo engine deserves to have their car to catch on fire, thats just STUPID.

Yeap it does but oh well. I've got my new motor in and trying to mess around with the tune a lil bit but I think I need a small ar on my exhaust housing cuz it's taking to long to spool up
