Official RV6 R365 turbo thread

I can’t open my ktuner software because they lock it if your Ktuner isn’t installed on a car, but in the Hondata you go into the calibrations menu and it’s in the sensors table where your maf scale is

Nevermind.. ktuner doesn't support 4 bar map sensors for our ECUs

So a quick update. At the beginning of this month I took my car to Big Willow and raced. The car spit all the coolant and hit 300*. Also someone left a chassis ground strap off my block and it got sucked into my serpentine belt and split it. So that didn’t help. Blew the head gasket. We found I had 2 bad injectors.
we replaced the injectors, timing chain and tensioner since we were there, machined the head, another cometic head gasket went in, new stock head bolts, and installed the prl intake pipe kit.

Got the car back, had it for 2 days…

so now it’s in the body shop for the next 3 weeks with $3500 worth of damage and paint. ??‍. Courtesy of a semi truck tire tread on the freeway. Took out me and a dozen other cars

Dude... bad luck club going on here

Hope you get back on the road soon

sorry this happened. Can you advise if when you replaced the timing chain if you did a trail rotation or had any issues with that process? I have the BC steel springs and I cannot do a trial rotation without slipping the over the exhaust cam and cannot get an extra click out of the tensioner. Been killing me for a week.

I didn’t do the work myself. So I can’t provide any insight on the timing chain. My car is at 93k miles and honda recommends having the timing chain inspected but I just opted to have it and the tensioner replaced by the shop that worked on it. Ososik Media’s Nick has opened a shop in Hemet, Ca. They did the work.

Dam dude, when it rains it pours..... Always wondered about that. Does insurance cover that or is it considered driver fault ?

Dam bro that sucks I had bad luck to I had left my car in the middle of the streets and didn’t realized I had didn’t have the e brake engaged and came back from the liquor store to my car being 30 feet away from where I left it at and it rolled back into a truck and it got a dent on the rear quarter panel and then later the week my car started running like shit turns out my injectors where bad to. E is really bad for our injectors when I replaced my injectors there was rust on the tips from the e absorbing water

My synchros got worse when I installed the turbo (i already had synchro issues) so re tuning was put on a hold & turns out I had a huge oil leak from me not tightening the turbo oil feed line enough (don’t ask how ???) & I had to buy a new clutch since we thought a weird ass noise was the clutch and tob turns out it wasn’t the noise ?

In good news I just got my 5th revision with is e30 with this rv6 turbo the 3rd gear wot was nuts

Luckily I have had no issues with this turbo at all. I installed the skunk 2 intake manifold and the turbo loved it, pulls harder all the way to redline.

Yup Ik what you mean on the oil leak I was bout to put the oil feed line on with out removing the o ring / screen from the stock line good thing I noticed before I exactly put it on I’m waiting for rv6 to respond on those Bunje bolts and for the line to I noticed you have to position it and tighten it because is moved freely when it was lose

With that manifold was there any issues with the injectors or the charge pipe coupling? Also the map sensor?

According to chp they consider it the drivers fault, I would also have a point added to my license and an accident. That was if I had the chp write a report. Some bullshit if you ask me. My insurance covered it because the area wasn’t lit well and about 10 other cars hit the same thing.

I had to remove 1 mounting bolt from the intercooler piping mount to swivel the pipe closer to the throttle body since the manifold pushes it back some. Other than that no. Did have to make new vacuum and brake booster lines.
