That was the pic they had for the artical I read.

and yer small turbos would be better plus you would need to make sure they fit lol

Im only putting this up for a laugh but yer if I ever get too bord I think I will try it.

All I can imagine is the two black line that it would leave on the Hiway after hitting boost

Haha yeah fair enough. The EVO was only a demonstration of what they can do - and a 4G63s are much better knowing for their off boost AND turbo spooling ability than an RB20DET, and then there is the whole matter of that with an RB20 you have two more cylinders - which in this case is bad.

plus with a turbo on each cylinder, you realy on the pulses from that single piston going up and down, were as conventionally eg, stock setup, the turbo is getting the pulse of 6 cylinders aswell, so i very much doubt if it would even pull boost before the limiter, lets not even, talk of how shitty the rb20 is off boost

how drunk were you when you though of this idea?

7yphon if you think your 20 isnt a torqueless, laggy bastard even with the stock turbo, you obviously havnt driven very many other turbo cars, eg any audi turbo, i love the rb20 dont get me wrong, but i own one and realisticly its not a decent street engine,

for example go jump in a biturbo audi s4, does 400nm @ 1850rpm. even a 1.8t will do 280nm @ 1800stock,, blah blah , not to mention the fact that to put 6 turbos on an rb20 would cost more than building up a phat 30det.

powerfigures dont mean shit, a meaty torque band is were its at.

Has anybody thought about running a difrent Twin Turbo setup.

EG.. Running stock turbo then running a 2nd bigger turbo off the dump pipe of the fist?

Would it work?

If so I would like to go that path instead

It would be silly to bother with stock turbos, being Ceramic and all they're useless.

There's a few TT RB20's around, personally I wouldn't bother unless I had some spare turbos sitting around and got really bored.

Money is better invested in a nice responsive, smallish single on a RB20.

Yer but the TT around run of three pipes im running a Hybrid BB turbo and I have a few other turbo's laying around so I was thinking on Running the Hybrid then a Bigger Garrett or HKS running of the dump of the first

hmmm, do you intend to run it in the way of, air from atmo into the first smaller turbo, outlet of that into the inlet of the second bigger turbo, witht he exhaust of the motor driving the big turbo, and exhaust of that driving the smaller one?

or do you want to run it in a switch manner, smaller turbo comes on then the second one fires up after and adds in via a switching mech?

Well I have thought abot the Switching mech but too f**king hard and way way too much piping. Never thought of that but I thought you would have the small turbo run of the exhaust then the dump of the small into the bigger one both outlets of air into a sep plenim then into the cooler. The only reason I dont think having the air going into the other turbo is because you might get a miss match of air vrs Exhaust and im not sure if thats a good thing in thery it would make the compress wheel spin slower then the exhaust.

because toyota spent lots to get the TT supra, a setup which most people get rid of.

Staged TT setup is pointless.

The only way TT would work even remotely well was is you went 3cyc per turbo and thats it.

No cross overs or anything.

Something like twin Nissan EXA turbos or something

Which, even then, would not fix your problem.

There is one way to fix it thats cheap and easy, NA RB30, RB30et or RB25

You see I dont see why its pointless I know of one supra who is being Tuned by WTF Auto thats a killer with that system, Its a wicked system and really you would only get rid of it if you are going full on into drag racing but even then it still hold a great value.

Yes I know the RB20 isnt as good as some engines but I have it and I dont really want to get rid of it until it dies.

But even then im thinking of buying a VG30DETT because its cheaper then the RB26 and more power then the RB25. But we will see what happens.

Anyway I dont think modding a car is pointless if im willing to spend the mony then I should be able too, And who knows I might do something that will blow ppl's minds and say hey thats really cool.

But ATM I still need to know can you run a 2nd turbo off the Dump of a first turbo.

The Supra uses a Valve in the Manafold to swith the Gasses to and from each turbo depending on what the ECU does now thats way too hard to setup "Unless I brought a Supra" Now if its possable I will try it as I have 2 turbo's sitting around and I have access to a T25 for a cheap price.

My goal is to make a Track working RB20 using a Twin Turbo system the First is for the low revs as you all know RB20 Suck at low revs and then Blowing into a Bigger Turbo to get that High end boost.

BTW this is all for fun I dont really care if it doesnt work out because ill try something else EG Supercharger

and I will keep going til this engine Craps itself then I will ponder about what my next engine will be.

I have a Bottem end of a RB25 sitting around so if I get the top half and a ECU plus engine mounts then I could drop a 25 in.

or I could rebuild the 20 into a 24 and see what new hights that will bring me

Edited by 7yphon

Dude... Im not knocking you, but im telling you now it wont be something "that will blow ppl's minds"

Trying to replicate what Toyota have spend millions of dollars on with the Supra, that IMO wasnt the crash hot anyway.

It is not something you are going to be able to replicated in a solid working fashion using a shed and a welder.

How are you going to control the transition?

What software are you going to use to valve control it with the variables of RPM/Boost/Gear etc etc etc.

Just drop an RB25 in there unless you have an endless pit of money to waste, as it sounds like you might have a lot of money if your talking about a Supra Style TT setup

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1680, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
