Hi browny, we have a GCG hi flowed RB25DET turbo on an RB20DET running at 1.1 bar that makes 210 rwkw, good boost at 3,000 rpm, flat torque curve from 4,000 rpm to 7,250 rpm.

Turn the boost up to 1.5 bar and it's over 250 rwkw, gets bit of intercooler heat soak during a longer race, but the new intercooler will fix that (standard R33 GTR one). Also less restriction, so should make 1.5 bar (at the engine) with lower boost at the turbo, less heat generated there as well.

We are going to upgrade the compressor cover when we go to the larger capacity engine so there is still plenty left in the R33 turbo yet. According to the flow maps 500 bhp is not out of the question.

Hope that helps.

Clint....how can you make that power on stock injectors? Even the cleanest set will only flow enough for 220rwkw, I am not doubting you its just that I am curious.

Browny, here are the specs to my old RB20DET

215rwkw (220rwkw with special fuel)

ARE front mount intercooler (500x300x75)

VG30 non ball bearing turbo with ceramic exh. wheel @ 14psi

HKS Cam gears

3.5" exhaust from turbo including dump

APEXi S-AFC

Blitz Access ecu (any tuned rom is fine)

HKS Air filter

Other things to take into consideration:

Oil catch can

Clutch

I drove the car every day and it was fine, the vg30 doesn't change the power point too much in fact I rathered it as most times around town I was only just on boost so fuel economy was great. You can also read the thread I started about 250rwkw from a RB20 to get another idea

Hi browny, currently spec'd same as XTRGTST-STG1 450hp rated, and upgrade the necessary bits to XTRGTST-STG2 spec, 500hp rated for the next engine.

The RB20DET injectors are supposed to be 270 cc's, if so would be good for 300 bhp (170 rwkw) max. But we have an RB20DET that makes 210 rwkw on the standard injectors and there are a number of others with the same hp or even more.

I have never flow tested a standard set, we just automatically replace them (with RX7 Series V turbo ones 550 cc's) if more than 300 bhp is needed. When I take this set out I am going to stick them on the injector flow tester and confirm the 270 cc's.

Standard AFM is OK to around 400 bhp, then we go to Z32 AFM, doesn't flow any more but has resolution at higher airflow.

An ECU upgrade is essential, we use an Apexi Power FC.

Hope that helps.

Boostmeister it made the power without any special trics, and the dyno is not magic one either, same dyno same car with the normal mods (14psi, dump back 3", large FMIC, pod) 136rwkw. Add one TO4 turbo and wastegate, 16psi and a decent tune and 234rwkw. The 044 pump does help as unlike some big pumps they will flow a lot more with a high pressure. And they were cleanded the day before so it has to help.

The fact that people say they are 270cc is very suss as they would be lucky to make 170rwkw as sydneykid says so they have to bigger. Someone will have to have one flow tested to be sure then we can have some info to argue over.

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
