2530 wont make 260 rwkw.. ever... Go with a 3071R set up and you'll make the power... or something like Roy's set up which is a Trust kit, will also make the power. At the end of the day, the more power you want from the 20 means you will lose more down low..

lol the turbo set up with pipe work, cooler, turbo and all the shit is 30 kgs alone. then the diff and brakes etc as mentioned, an easy weight increase as they are bigger... that said, Ceffy's feel a lot lighter then a 33 thats for sure lol

RB20det is twice as thick and heaps better then the DE rad... ive got a good cond one with my 25 and no drama's1

hmmm, the stock gauge and light doesnt really read anything when cranking over i have found, best way to see if you have oil flowing through the motor is to take the turbo feed banjo off and see if you have oil coming out while cranking.

im gonna be running a 3071R now lol but with stock RB25 turbo and RB20 ecu and no VCT i made 220 rwkw on 13 lpsi! loved it, was so quick lol

its a GCG housing check your PM i sent back

thats a pretty brilliant idea, cheers will do that. Beer Baron: i have some in my tool box but they dont fit as theres limited room between the nut and the housing

3 degrees is a fair bit for road tyres, however if you have adjustable upper arms, or even camber bushes then you'll be fine and it would be awesome for a daily driver.

whenever you handle the manifold and turbo the oil from your hands transferrs to these parts, so when its running it burns off. leave it running for a good 15 mins while watching to make sure youy have no leaks, but its pretty normal

ah yes, you right scratch that then

not a bad idea, i will have to if worse comes to worse

this is driving me nuts... i cant get anything onto the flare nut for the oil feed for my turbo as theres NO room at all... i cut and modded a spanner to try and get it in there but with no luck, i thought about cutting a ring end spanner to try and slip that on but there doesnt look like enough room for the spanner to move... Heres a pic... what do you reckon?? I thought about using a banjo bolt but its an inverted flare fitting in the garret core.

get just the boot resprayed, wouldnt cost much more then 200-300 for a decent job

spray some CRC on the crank, and on the pressed metal thing there is a cut out where it slides over the keyway in the crank, wiggle it off

i have a total of 3 degrees without adjustable camber arms, This is prob far to much for a street car but mine is track only and i didnt want to pay 500 for a pair of adjustable upper arms. On the track its amazing! theres less bump steer, the steering feels a lot more direct and the car handles a lot better. Also ive found for drift it gives slightly more angle and it doesnt bind up when holding full angle slides. Awesome upgrade in my books

whats the best way to rig up an aftermarket FPR onto the rail?

yep, i got mine from the states for 40 bucks. I'll post up dyno results with my new turbo soon.

i think you'll find you need a 12mm socket not a 13

its far from an easy job... just getting them bushes out, then putting the arms in is a bit of a prick of as job. oxy torch FTW tho

I painted my R32 (i know its not a 33) in the new Mazda Verlocity red... it looks bloody awesome in the sunlight!! Its got a copper diamond flake in it along with a slight pearl... so it looks different in various lighting conditions heres a pic

or get an RB20/26 PFC and a Rev switch, and control the VCT that way Ive got the rb20 remap and no VCT atm, makes plenty power and torque, howevre i just picked up a rev switch to control the VCT so i'll hook that up

lol i can remember such a time back in 2000-2001 when a PFC tune by martin donnon cost upwards of 1K.... and that was an average tune too...

+ another 1K for a PFC...

no way the CHEAPEST and most RELIABLE option is RB20 ECU, remapped to suit your mods, and your laughing.. 50 for an ecu and 300-500 for a map/tune mine made 220 RWKW with stock turbo on 13 psi

the RB25 AFM is good for 240 rwkw kw... i highly doubt he's making that sort of power atm with a stock ecu. What you'll find is that the ECu is cutting fuel. you need to either get an aftermarket ecu or get an RB20 ecu and remap that which is the cheapoer option (i have one of these)
