Cant believe how long its been since I update this thread, a year ago I would have bet anything I would have had this done by now. Alas a series of fortunate and unfortunate events have conspired to keep me from getting this done. The chassis is pretty much done with the exception of putting the rear end together and back in and the rear shocks. We are waiting to get some numbers from the engine dyno to order the converter, rear gear and shocks. Ive missed a few scheduled tuning days and proline has cancelled a few on me. Once we FINALLY get it tuned the rest should come together pretty quick but ive said that before so we'll see. In the meantime I've finished one "build" and started another one so I'm keeping busy. Only have a few pictures on my cell and I'm out of town so perhaps I can do a better update next weekend.91s13th400 wrote:wow!!!! any more updates
Lol count me in! BTW ill just leave this here:USsil80 wrote:congrads on the baby girl, i have a 4 year old girl as well ... I am planning on starting a company that employs a "home drone defense", to keep all the coming and leaving of the house under control. Also the company will provide art deco bars on all teenage girls bedroom windows, you know to keep out the bogy monster.
No that's just a quick picture of it 95% ready to go. All that is pending is I'm going tomorrow morning to run some new lines for my wastegates and bov as I got rid of the old set up. The PLAN is to test fire it on monday check for bugs, leaks etc and if all is well then tuning will commence tuesday. I hope so as I'm leaving out of town wednesday and when I come back I am supposed to begin taking apart the GTR and getting that motor built so I'll be extremely busy. If tuning does happen tuesday and all goes well ill pick it up and take the motor to NRC the following week. But trust me I will have full video as long as I can be there (and I REALLY want to be there) and dyno #'s coming somewhat soon (finally?)gmac708 wrote:Nooooooooooo^^^^^^^
Must have sound! This is not fair!

Glad to hear everything went well for the most part. Again, congratulations and I hope to be hearing back from you soon. Thanks for letting me see the monster before it gets let out into the open......
Thanks.Yellow4g63 wrote:Nice!
Lol its not that I want more its that I NEED more! Lol 1100 is cool and it made me super happy to see it run well and hold up but for me to be competitive in a class where they routinely run 4.60's in the 1/8 I'm gonna need atleast 1350ish. I got some videos but they suck ill look through and try to find a decent one. Most of the time I was using the camera to film the AFR readout in the big stuff 3 since I couldn't datalog it on the haltech I could film it and the rpm readout on the dyno to get an idea where to adjust. Plan had been when the tune was done and we made peak power to do a run with a tune we knew was rock solid then id film that but the coil issue cut the session short.USsil80 wrote:So let me get this straight, you made over 1k in horsepower, and still want more? Hell where is this test and tune, got to see this s***! Congrads!
X275.net the class is called X275, it is a "street car" class that requires a 275 drag radial and no wheelie bars. Current record is 4.55@161 but usually runs are mid 60's.USsil80 wrote:4.6 1/8 mile run. DAMN. what class is this?
Lol yeah I have seen a ton of bad reviews after ive had all this mess with them. Frankly this is my fault for not sufficiently researching them I just saw some pretty looking harnesses and didnt realize they dont know s*** but making the same stock harnesses and me asking for certain custom things completely baffled them. Anyways I dont know ANYTHING about wiring but I'm looking at having prolines' s guy rewire the whole car so I make sure I dont have any issues going forward. Problem with that is he is super busy and would add even more time to get this done. Battery would be in the trunk so we would do it as you mentioned.Darius wrote:It is great to see you achieve your power goal despite some hiccups in the wiring harness hampering the tuning session. Not to pour salt in the wound, but I have only heard bad things about chasebays wiring harnesses. I understand there are slight variations in ECUs within engine sets, but all of them should still be tested before shipment. And 18GA on a coil ground for a 1000hp setup? Cmon get serious!
While we are on the topic of grounding, where is the battery located? I'm assuming it is in the trunk space? If so, make sure there is a ground wire from the battery to the front of the car and that the coil harness is tied into that point. I had weird issues with my relocated battery until I did that and it cleared up some electrical gremlins and misfiring under boost.
How are you running the PCV system? Is it plumbed into the exhaust to pull vacuum or is it venting to atmosphere? I'm just wondering if you need more vacuum to evacuate the blow-by more efficiently and prevent the block from pressurizing.
On the engine dyno we were using CO2 for boost control so this was with about 50psi on top of the wastegate. It blows open the gate at around 48psi of boost at that setting, if we wanted it to hold all the way through we could put another 10psi on the gate but we couldn't keep the spark from blowing out past what you see here. Combo definitely has more in it so I guess we will see the limit of a little ol 25. Stock rb25 head, block, crank and main girdle, block is about 3/4 filled. I dont know if there has ever been a more powerful rb25 but ive never seen one. Dyno numbers are nice but it dont mean much until it runs bottom 8's or high 7's like its supposed to or the 1/8 equivalents. I am a bit worried about block integrity at 50psi but this was built to push the envelope and to be competitive in X275 and 1150hp wont do it. Ive got a spare block at the house and when I get the 240 running and finish the GTR build I will build a spare short block. If this one cracks or has any issues ill use that one and back off a bit while I build an RD28.RRRRB wrote:Motor seems to be making some pretty good power man, get that boost to hold out all the way!
has there been a more powerful rb25? your still using RB25 crankshaft right. I forgot is the block filled?
Ive got a VK at the house but that is another long term build where I would have to create a lot of custom stuff to do it right and almost nothing from what I have now could carry over. A rd28 short block would be an easy swap where everything I have now would work. If this isnt too bad of a money pit I would actually love to build a second drag car but it would be a GTR shell with the VK in it and run it in the new Pro drag radial class. I certainly hope to make several events this year although the summer will likely be just private track rentals to dial the car in and get some seat time. As far as east coast tracks I'm dying to take it to MIR for the world cup and Cecil for the yellowbullet nationals and SGMP for lights out.USsil80 wrote:I thought you said that you picked up a VK if you blow the RB. are you going to make it to any east coast tracks this year, or is it just a test and tune year.
