you thinking its just taking too long to spool?

Well the 60ft times were 2.5 - 2.7 seconds so yeah....taking way too long to spool.

Give it too much the first time (4500 take off) and I was skidding through third

Gave it too little the second time (3500 take off) and I had to wait six months for boost

And in answer to your comment...NOS is not the answer!

What I really need is one of those super dooper rotary engines that has pistons inside and a 9 speed gearbox.

what turbo are u running on the rb20 now dan anyway??

GT2876RS with a 0.86 rear housing.

Don't worry about finding that turbo anywhere, I had it specially made.

I would like to change the rear housing to 0.63 to see which I like better. I just hope the 0.63 rear will hold out to 8500rpm like this one does but that's probably just wishful thinking.

I get fullboost (20psi) on the current one at about 4800rpm with cams, used to be 5500 before the cams went in.

With the other rear housing I should see fullboost at 2800 and have it carry all the way to 7000rpm which is a larger range anyway.

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
