I've been meaning to do this for a long time so here it is...
My name is Russell and some people on here may already know me. I've been in the SAU scene for about 5 years now.
I bought my R32 in 2005 and it has gone through numerous small changes over the years.
It started off with a very good list of mods when it arrived from Japan
It had:
Cusco coil overs, 33 GTSt gearbox, spool diff and the engine had HKS 2530, PFC, GTR injectors, Tomei cams and all the usual bolt ons to make a respectable 200rwkw’s.
At the time for me this was huge power. I did lots of DECA’s with SAU Vic, a few drift days and a couple of track days.
I then added R34 GTT brakes, race seat and pretty much flogged the guts out of it. For a couple of years.
And……. then I met a bunch of guys that encouraged me to go for more power. This team consists of Matt (Femno), Tim (Drift SX), Campbell (REAMED), Dean (deanc), Mark (mark33gtst) and a few others. They all had big power so the idea and it rubbed off on me…
So to make the most out of my RB20 we boosted it to 1.56 bar ~23psi
This tune was done by ACE WORKSHOP + DYNO and the results speak for themselves. With what was a restrictive turbo setup we certainly got the most from it and it has held together for years!
The best times I got with that setup:
Sandown: 1:24.26
Winton: 1:34.98
Philip Island: 1:48.00
Eastern Creek (SL 2010) 1:47.32
Oran Park (SL 2009) 1:24.31
I also took out DECA overall champion in 2010
