haha they upped the boost 1psi for a 3kw gain then had to deal with surging on throttle lift off

thanks for that photoglossy, well pulled down the motor......bad news, the exhaust valve had snapped and pretty much ruined the whole motor...
so i will try and find a motor to get it going, if i can i will tidy the rst up and make a blow by blow thread

The article says the ET and Exa had the same driveability problem, and I remember it well. It required a pretty specific technique to avoid...

They say the ECU needs to be reprogrammed to fix it, but that was obviously before anyone had done the AFM relocation mod... once I'd done it to mine, all that shit was pretty much out the window, including the tendency to stall.

Surprised they blamed the ECU, rather than the 1.5m or so between throttle and AFM...

was there a power difference between the rrc and brc? i don't think i've ever seen a totally stock rrc engine bay... but i'm guessing the inlet tract is much shorter

yeah might have been ok on a 3L 6. e15 just doesnt breathe enough.
on the rrc all the log sensors are mounted to the plenum itself. both engines came from japan in crates, so why the different inlet designs? emissions? aren't the japs tighter than us?

RRC was a later version of the engine
