hi all

just curious to know whether this turbo would run out of puff when going down the 1/4?

and if anyone with this turbo on their RB20 has taken it down the 1/4,

if so, what times did you get?

i wasnt sure if i should put this in the motorsport section either.... ;)

thanks

chris

In a VL i know of an RB20DET that has run a 12.9.

With the power they make there is no reason why if you have good tyres and clutch you cant run a 12.9 pretty easily...i think if you persevere and choke everything out of it you can get a 12.5 @ 113-114mph (provided you can get your 60ft time down to around 1.7 seconds)

The VL was nothing crazy, std RB20 with 5 spd and a 2530.

My setup is peakier then what you would expect a well tuned 2530 to be. I was only running 14psi for my 215rwkws when i ran a 12.9 at 113mph with a 2.3 60ft time.

So with 18psi in a 2530 you would expect 220rwkws and more midrange. With a good launch in the 1.8-2.0 sec range you would expect around a 12.5 at 113-114mph

ultimately it is going to come down to how well you can drive as to what time you get. i have a mate with a sigma with a stock sr20 with exhaust and fmic and 15psi boost. he got a 12.56 at 106mph on street tyres, with a 60 foot time of about 1.6). another guy with a sr20 in a gemini got 13.1 at 113mph. if it had been over 1km the gemini would've beaten him, but he got a much better launch.

    • I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.
    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
