Just keep a cold head and don't beat it. It won't damage your engine even with factory tune. And your engine stalling is not a result of new turbo. Air/Vac leaks, or AFM placement need to be addressed due to new turbo making a lot more turbulance and air passes back and forth through AFM, resulting in mix readings. Just check your shit for leaks, get the car tuned and speak to the tuner about AFM placement. Good luck!

That shit is tough, Simon! I'm waiting when you finish with all the gremlins and dyno vids + happy dyno finish skids + real track skids + the other non-drift related driving you were going to do . haha

Last time I checked it was pretty expensive. Blitz kit is/was anything from 1-2k AUD/USD. And aus made one were a tad cheaper. Don't remember how much.

Thanks for the replies. As we all know, some of garret pump turbos are out of flow from calculations, but still making power. Just a thought. What do you rekon would be possible max power with GT3782 on rb25 ? And its journal bearing.

Simon, you got fabrication skills at your disosal. No need for adapter flange. Cut/shut/weld. Port/olish where needed. Just do it !)))

You should try NEO head + RB26 ITBs. VCT+ITBS+maybe 3l=way too happy

So any new turbos got the love of drifters these days ? Zombie thread revival I would say something like GT35 or any 500-600hp turbo is a new drifting turbo ? Lets get it going

Please select a turbo to suit your application haha. Kinda cool. When are you going to get the tests done ? Did you have a thought about trying out some other ecus while you are at it ? Like vipec/link/haltech ? Maybe grab one from somebody to test out ? You got all the great equipment, why not go further and push to the max. E85, 4 turbos, best engine management. Who knows what would you be able to push out of the little RB20.

Changing turbo setups according to the track ?))

Roy, I think its more applicable to ball-bearing. The main problem with the oil only cooling is the premature engine turn off, when temps are high enough to cook the oil inside the cartridge. All the resudue and burnt oil substance will block the passages and do damage to bearings. 10degrees working tempreature difference won't be that noticable compared to shut down without cool down. They would design and choose materials with a lot of stress in mind, including water cooling system damage. On the dayly car or a public transport that would be considerable. But on a modified vehicle. I don't think so. Just my 2c.

BUMP for u! Cheap for such a potent little engine.

Its not ball-bearing, so who cares ? Water cooling just lets you shut the baby right off after you gave it hard time smashing the limiter and not waiting for it to cool down.

When you gonna start the whole thing, Roy ?

I will try to find some pics of HX30 Thats how it pretty much looks. Pretty tall. But you can shave off that internal wastegate stuff off. I can send a V-band flage with it. Just weld it on afterwards and thats it.

I'm sure there will be some people who could help you out with tuning and not reaping your arm and leg. Maybe even free or mate's discount rate as long if its limited to tuning only I guess. Maybe if you do it in a week time, not in 1 day. It would be easier. Fit one turbo, drive to the tuner, get results and drive home. Change to another one, next day same stuff. Since all of those turbos will be quite similar, maybe difference in low-end between td05 and td06. But top-end difference mostly. Its an experiment for community. And somebody should take pride to be a part of it. Document it thouroughly, take pics and vids. And could even be good advertisement for the tuner later.

Since your PMs are FULL ))) Hey, Roy! I've been a fan of your RB20 since like forever. Have a nice sweet place in my heart. I've got a preposition for you. Since you are going to test your RB20 to the limit to find out the best turbo. Do you mind taking this little fella for a ride ? Its Holset HX30. compressor IN:49MM EX:73MM Turbine: IN:64MM EX:52MM Turbine AR 9cm, T3 Flange. Should be quite a good match for RB20. Will you be interested in testing it out ? Probably need to run factory exhaust manifold. I would be happy to send that turbo to you for testing. You get the turbo and test it out. Post the results. And keep the turbo. What you gonna do with it after that its ur choice. What do you say ? Rgds, Andrey

I will work on it more Thanks for the comment! Cheers! I'm working on gathering some info for update! Thanks, man! Marshals are really something different. Spray-rage ON and they even spray themselves for the fun of it, spray some air. Spray me and my interior. f**k those sprayers haha))) Guys, I'm working on the update. Stay tuned! Its gonna be quite cool. Not as obliterating as my smash-crash-ka-booom in the first place. But good effort also

Ｍore pics of my epic fail Clear and vivid, WOT till the f**king end. Never lift off huh )) Don't f**king know what was I thinking about. :shock: Comment that shit guys. And I'm preparing an update on the car fix for next battle madness and scars f**king lucky I didn't roll that damn boat over

It was a R154 gearbox. Not W58. W58 is alrightish at around 300-350hp. Never tried more. W58 clutch selection is scarce. Can't find good clutch for them. And their shiftig feel sucks. R154 shifting feel is sluggish also. In that way, even an old proved RB20 gearbox is way better in shifting feel than Toyota. Shit. Smashed oil cooler and oil spilled on something hot. Caught on fire. Scary shit haha.

Haha. Missed my 666s post I fail))

Small offtopic bitches My malaysian friend drifter Ah Fai (Ser Meng Hui) also joined the WDS with me. Ser Ming Hui | Formula Drift Indonesia Everyone probably have seen his youtube vids: He has alright skills 　And he is very popular in malaysia for his big ass black cop glasses and tight jeans. Ah Fai is f**king tandemer to say the least. haha. He is also some malaysian drift porn movie star. Some say he is the most recogniseable drifter in malaysia. Its for you to decide. In 2010 he also joined the WDS with me, but his car was far from being complete. So we shared my shagged C33. Btw, he did became popular in malaysia for his drifting with A31 Cefiro. He still uses A31 in his Thailand drift competitions. Though he always insists that I change my car to something coupe-ish or less-doorish. I tell him to go jump of the roof instead:) In 2011 he came to TianJin for WDS with his last years car. Built in China. But with a lot of gremlins:) А31 Cefiro with RB25DET, GT3582R , 444сс inj, Adaptronic ecu, OS Giken twinplate, and suspension wise it was identical to my 2JZ A31. I think some malaysian witch put a spell on a car. Everytime has something go a bit wrong haha. Like: And then we push it. Ah Fai lazy f**k. Rides his broken bitch. Not even pushing it. Engine dead btw. Oil from cam covers got on to exhaust)) With his car dead he spent most of his time getting sun tan or f**king sun burn beside the track telling me some stories and discussing the strange paranormal tarmac movement in open stadium drift tracks. Wtf? Of course I listen very carefully. But in the mean time I was just so tired and bored with all those tarmac pussy stories. Went to sleep for a while Lets get to the judges Tarzan and Tao Mega legit guys. Yamada-san meets me on every event with the same question: Andrey, when u...change....car. hahaha. These guys really have something against my car, right ? Pisses me off haha)) Afro. South African guy. It was first time I met him. Heard he is drifting for 17 years already. I got to give props and huge thanks to him. He really helped us out anytime, and was super eager for me and AhFai to join the race. Really awesome support. Never forget, Afro! Respects to you man! Hope to see you again. No questions about their judging that is haha. America...america haha)) Fellas from so friendly to Soviet Union people United States. So who are they? Matt Powers Not the first timer. I think his first time was in 2009 in TianJin WDS. I was driving my daily A31 RB25 back then. Guys have been struggling with piss of shit broken cars before, but now they brought their small nuclear weapons along. Matt got a mini-speced version of his FD S14. So simple, like LS1, Gforce 4 speed dogbox, huge ass tires in the back. And some Powers vinyl wrap or paint job. haha Kyle Mohan Kyle is f**king insane dude. One man army, universal soldier, Jean Clot Van Dame or smth. Kyle could replicate himself and be in several places at the same time. Like being a mechanic, wrenching somewhere, than driver smashing it out on the track, promoter and girls magnet))) I couldn't figure out which Kyle I talked to though haha. Love your driving, man! There is something magical in the way FC flicks around when you are behind the wheel. Kyle was driving his well proven FC3S. I really protest, man! This car had infinite revolutions. No fuel cut. f**k. Rev rev rev rev rev rev rev. He did smash it a bit. But nothing major. Everything was ok. Ross Petty Reggae-pump iron guy))) Really cool dude. We did chat for quite sometime about Formula D in US, some politics in drifting. Wether drifting had any more steam in US and etc. Ross represents us fellow grass roots ! So props to you man! keep it up, fair game ! Let the war begin, said peacefull reggae guy Ross ))) In WDS he drives an RHD S14, ex Formula D RSR car. Ross is like, a drifting wall janitor)) Sweeping the dust of any wall out there. You should see him. His handbrake loves Ross left hand or smth I remember the first time you guys came over to China, back in 2006. To Beijing. I went over and saw you guys having fun in the parking lot, near that stadium. Shit so impressed me, that I bought my first drifting car that year. You were a little kid back then haha. And of course JR JR is a pomoter. I know why Ford and Monster like him. After you see him or talk to him. You wanna go drink a box of monster drink, become Hulk and steal a Mustang, drive it like you stole it and never come back haha. Cool guy. Was cool meeting you and talking to you! JR btought his 2004spec Mustang. Or well he said so. Or I forgot. Nevermind. haha. Even if its that old technology he did f**king kill at the track. He really knows how to drive that big ass car. When his monster mustang enters the stadium, you can forget about any other exhaust note. Your eardrums are under V8 attack. f**k yeah. Rear tire width: 295. Soon the opening ceremony will begin. Sure stadium is not the best suited for drifting tracks, but for a drifting show its really the BEST. Judge for yourself I got super sexy and got into speedhunters coverage. Thanks fellas! http://speedhunters.com/archive/2011/10/06...ttle-china.aspx Larry Chen Got inside my ceffy, seating on some paper box. Since its ONESEATer. Marshalls wont let anyone inside the stadium area. So I drove him in and he catapulted from my car as soon as we got inside. Actually Larry is a f**king WDS Veteran! Props to you man! Keep it up! Love all your work! Me and my ceffy chiling. Not smashed yet............))) And of course my best cheaters mod out there;) Does it suit for a promotion ? And JR parked his Mustang near my beatifully smashed cefiro for some photoshoot. What a guy, a ? ))) Thanks for your time ! And hope to see you all soon! Bam!

http://player.56.com/v_NjM0OTk3NTI.swf DSCF0020 -???? ???? ????-56??? Some of my practice runs. HKS Fcon VPro had some error resulting in having a very early RPM cut. You can hear it from the video. I was so stocked and tired that I didn't care nor I watched a tacho. I thought I was so mega cool that I could reach the 7500 rpm fuel cut lol))) When red s13 240sx convertible left, I had barely no powersteering left. Which resulted in my first understeer crush haha. All others were oversteer haha. I mushed my oil cooler on that run. So while my friend was looking for a spare oil cooler for me. I borrowed a car from a friend. 240SX S13 Convertible with RB25 that we put new turbo someway during the build of my A31. Here me having some sideways fun in S13. http://player.56.com/v_NjQzMDcxMzE.swf http://www.56.com/u86/v_NjQzMDcxMzE.html http://player.56.com/v_NjQzMDcyODI.swf http://www.56.com/u61/v_NjQzMDcyODI.html

http://player.56.com/v_NjM2Mzc4NzQ.swf http://www.56.com/u69/v_NjM2Mzc4NzQ.html 20:58-27:19 First TOP8 run with Saito. 74:35-81:10 OMT and Napalm Death)))

http://www.56.com/u4...jM0MDIwMTQ.html http://player.56.com/v_NjM0MDIwMTQ.swf On the OMT run with Saito. About 30mis after the first run. Judges said they had some communication problem and couldn't get us on the track last time. I changed one tire at the rear. Different tread and direction, also thinner wheel. Went to chase Saito. Start in 2nd gear, shift to 3rd and nailed it in. Was nervous to get too much of a distance between us. So stayed on the throttle through first corner. I did realize my rear grip sucked. It was my mistake and it pretty much sums up my driving skills(( The most I thought is about Saito in the front and that maybe I would clip the outer wall just a bit But I f**king lost it)) Rear hit the wall to deep and I stayed on the throttle thinking I would be able to steer it out of the wall. And all it did is smash my front and trail it down the wall more. Anyway it was my mistake and it pretty much sums up my driving skills(( Oil cooler was on the left side. It was the first thing to get busted by the mighty concrete. Oil drops on to something hot and I get fire. Seeing fire near your right foot is not a pleasant site. Don't do that at home haha. Jumped out of the f**king car as soon as I could. Knocking down the track marshal or smth.

And the most epic fail of the night
