Hey lads and ladies,

I have an r32 gtst with an rb20det...I am after some cheap but good bolt on fo fast bits to increase power in the car...I would like 300rwkw but don't think this is possible without crackin the puppy open and doing some internal work...

Currently I have:

FMIC

3 inch cat back exhaust (will have a 3 inch split dump/front pipe installed and a 3 inch hi-flowed cat soon)

POD

Boost Controller

What other parts should I get in my quest for power???

I was looking at a T3/T4 turbo (i believe, can't remember exactly), externally gated, that will be good for mid range and will spool 500 rpm later than stock (which I want as it is a street car with an occassional track outing)want to run about 16psi

I know I need injectors and pump and reg but what kind

Will I need a PFC

Oil Cooler

WHAT ELSE CAN I GET THAT IS A SIMPLE BOLT ON TO IMPROVE POWERAN AFFORDABLE ON A LIMITED BUDGET???

forget the turbo upgrade. you said budget so that wont even go near a turbo upgrade. my suggestions

ecu remap

rb25 turbo

cold air intake kit

suspension work

fuel pump

oil cooler wont add power

injectors wont add power

fuel reg wont add power

and be happy with that. injectors, ecu, and turbo is another 3k expense, plsu the cost of a 1980's style plain bearing diesel turbo which will come on boost probably near 5 grand. why bother? the rb25 will come on fairly nice and should make near 180rwkw. 300rwkw on a rb20 is way out of your scope.

300rwkw is doable but not on a budget.

I got to 260rwkw with no head modifications, running standard exhaust manifold and inlet manifold etc.

You need to ask yourself what you want more:

response or hp.

There is no turbo out there that will boost 16psi 500rpm after the stock one and be capaable of 500hp. You will need to sacrifice response to reach your target but you could expect full boost at approx 3500rpm. The rest of the engine etc. will be built for strength anyway so you will have plenty of managable power up to 7500rpm.

There's no such thing as 300rwkw on a limited budget.

There's also no such thing as a street rb20det making 300rwkw.. Well there is if you don't mind having no boost in the first 3gears. :laugh:

Settle on a sensible power level and go from there.

bah just you wait, JUST YOU WAIT!!!!!

muhahah!

dude,

what setup do u have that makes 260rwkw?

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
