Project RB26 S14 Cape Town

Post by Reyn S »

This weekend did not go as plan and nothing was done on the car. I have decided to drop car off at PowerFlow to do the exhaust as I am taking too long to finish it and I need a ride as i sold my daily drive. I would have liked to do it myself but time is becoming an issue.

Hey guys
Okay I managed to finish the car. Exhaust is done and fitted

Drove the motor in for a week. Was difficult not drive in boost but did it. It went to the dyno yesterday to make sure fueling is good and that the motor is happy all though I'm running standard computer just
wanted a 2nd opinion. So okay 1st run went good second run not so good at 6000rpm the Wiskus fan flexed braking the cowling and taking off the powersteering belt so didn't get real figures but power is at 268kw and 474nm at 6000rpm but the graft kept climbing so I'm happy with the power for now.

Image

Also have a problem with the dump valve because I'm running standard setup. I must get a recirculating dump valve because at 2500rpm coasting the dump valve opens and fueling goes to 12.7 and it backfires from time to time.

Image

Now The car will have to stand. I've got a lot of stuff going on at work and just don't have the time now to finish her. So close but yet so far.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece...but to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, and defiantly shouting "wow, what a ride."
