I am pretty sure the RB20 likes a manifold well before then. They really seem sensitive to back pressure and exhaust flow. The other RBs dont seem so sensitive to exhaust flow, but the little exhaust pulses of the RB20 seem to need some manifold help to spin the turbos. The full TD06-20G setups on RB20s always outpeform the bolt on setups. Even those that have had the exhaust housing gate mod or manifold gate mod

Was hoping to make it, but car is still in Sydney getting its RB32, dog box and aero. Got to try and keep up with the Cunninghams

If my engine lets go and a conrod punches someone in the cock....can i be sued?

I want someone to take the tweaked log manifold with gate and then go and spend the extra $1000 on 6boost and $300 on pipng changes and report back.

I have my own thoughts on how to mount a wastegate. Will be poutting it to test soon and hopefully will work waaay much better then the current 6boost-Turbosmart arrangment

Tempted. Can you post some pics f the exhaust housing and maybe the turbo heighht? I would need to make up a new dump pipe, and a spacer to convert from my 3 botl manifold to the T3 flange of the turbo. That can add a few hundred dollars to the cost of the tuning just in fabrication. So will do some homework. The turbo I am testing thankfully all bost right up to my existing piping and lines so makes it a rather easy 60mins work once things have cooled down. The cost of all the tuning still scares me as I dont trust myself to tune a car

Man the lines and fittings they supply weigh more then the turbo Would rather save $10-15 off the turbo price to go towards some good speedflow fittings. Keen to get home and take the T67 apart and compare the turbines

But because i am ordinary with spanners...not sure i would trust myself after watching this http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/16/watch-a-shelby-cobra-do-cartwheels-at-130-mph/#continued

Fas the loom been cut up at any time?

So can i pick it up or is it sold?

There has to be more to the story?!?!? What fuel and what capacity and mods does the SR20 have? And whilst it boosts 24psi at 4,200rpm what power is it actually making at 4,200rpm. On a well sorted RB25 with thicker headgasket, Greddy inlet, Tomei cams and complete TD06SH-25G setup... At 8,000 rpm it has 308 rwkw At 7,000 rpm it has 320 rwkw At 6,000 rpm it has 296 rwkw At 5,000 rpm it has 230 rwkw At 4,000 rpm it has 114 rwkw That was on a dyno that read about 20-25rwkws lower then other dynos it went on and was a pretty conservative ignition map on 98 tune. No doubt it could be improved but massive divide between 360rwkws and 400rwkws out of a 25G compressor?!?!?! I have a soft spot for the TD/Mitsu range of turbos. But in cases where people are putting turbos on built motors with external gates etc then what is an extra $1000 on a Garret or other turbo IF it gives you an extra 40rwkws at 4,000rpm and matches the top end? Bang for buck its up there...but personally I would bin my Trustck turbo if I could find a sharper tool in the shed

Nope. Was looking at a red 635 last night. Thinking it would be a good chariot for my Belgium trip in March See, there are benefits to owning a pov spec GTSt instead of keep me broke uber GTR. Your car budget goes further to do other stuff. LOL for the price of an RB26 rebuild I can have another 80s BOS

Yeh, I have been looking for a RHD one in UK but they all are LHD and the very rare RHD ones are never '88 or earlier For the price of one nice R34 GTR I am going to have an army of old shitboxes

Meh Fezz. I hope Massa falls over and Webber has a good year and finds a nice home at Ferrari while they blood one of their Jr drivers. Just as RBR start to drop off and Ferrari come strong again in 2013. It would be justice that in the twilight of his career Webz jumps from dominant team to dominant team. And i am with you tweety. I am tossing and turnign about Aus GP. $800 for tickets and you see shit. Better of putting that money towards an OS GP later in the year at a proper circuit where you see the action for 8-15 seconds at a time

Yeh, I was so, so , so tempted to try the 68HTA. It is meant to flow about the same, perhaps a little more and be more responsive. In the end the decider was if I was going to make a change then make a change. The 15% more flow was the decider. I also thought that once I see how these all work, or dont then I can always hot rod the TD05H with the 68HTA compressor Now to see how well the lil RB20 uses the extra flow

Yeh, its only done dyno time so like new. But nobody is going to pay $2200 for it when you get get a "Kando the Great" for $800. If I had an RB30 i dont think i would run any of these turbs. I think you would get a better result out of the GTX3076, more responive and the billet compressors seem to give you a bit more legs at higher pressure ratios. So probably bag you a more responsive 350rwkws.

I suppose after a life time of having a waaay cool job you collect a few things along the way http://www.insideline.com/features/photos/collection-of-a-lifetime-gallery.html Some out takes

It's a 10cm housing. Not sure I want to sell it any more. I cant really sell it as who is going to pay over 2k for it when you can get a Kando for ~$800 Actually looking at these pics now the compressor cover tag says TD06H. I thought it said SH? Anyway, its the same turbo from the earlier page side by side with the L2-20G

Well, just bought another two turbos for my car My old girl has to be the most spoilt RB20 in the land So...now I just need to find a week and about 2k for dyno and spanner time. The quest to find the ideal setup on an RB20. The turbos I have to try with my 6boost manifold and Turbosmart gate are: TD05-18G 8cm TD06-20G 10cm TD06L2-73HTA 8cm TD06L2-73HTA 10cm All to be benchlined against my TD06-20G 8cm. LOL, Racepace is going to hate my car soon enough. Hours of back to back dyno pulls. Engine will probably crap itself on the dyno

Its the same 3" cover as my 20G, just machined for the larger wheel. The compressor is larger in diameter, but it is lighter so will be interesting to see if there is an increase in lag. Along with dynos will do some in gear testing with the AiM and log rpm vs road speed vs boost. Should paint the full picture of what turbo makes for the faster car Mine is a bit of a custom jobbie getting built up locally with an EVO centre housing so has later model, more durable bearing design and water cooling and the L2 turbine. May be ok, could be a disaster. Then throwing the 73HTA compressor at it. How much? LOL...the real question is why do i have five turbos, valued at ~7k of turbos sitting around doing nothing If it works you will be able to buy one off me on the following proviso..you own an RB20

Yeh, I am, but dont have tickets yet. I hate paying so much money to nto see shit. Even from a stand. Bloody street circuits suck for spectating. But I have to go...so will pony up the dollars sooner or later
