haha!

just got back from getting it dynoed.

Please keep in mind I tuned it myself and there are a few things that need sorting out

1. spark was getting blown out at 17PSI but was just ok at 16psi so I will have to gap the plugs down to 0.8 (they are now at 1.0)

2. My exhaust is only 2.75" from the cat back and it will be getting replaced shortly

3. I was maxing out the RB20AFM and have to decide to tune around it or to replace with Z32. I think in the end it will be replaced

4. didn't have time to lean the tune out. but at least it is nice and safe for now.

With the new exhaust and spark sorted out and with the tune leaned out it will make a solid 230rwkw at 18psi. The run below was done at 16psi and as you cansee it is breaking up a bit up top.

The car feels really great to drive and boost progression is very linear. it is not super responsive but vert pleasent to drive.

The car now feels solidly fast and I can only say good things about sliding performance turbochargers.

The upside... my car looks completly stock down to BOV, airbox, ect. (except for frontmount)

All in all I am really happy and will sort all the littles out and get it redynoed in the following weeks and am expecting 300+ horsepower :P

Cheers!

oh i wish i wasnt too lazy to work out and convert the speed to RPM :P

definately more in it, and looking the goods, expecting to see earlier spool with the leaner off boost tune?

Will do cubes :P

yep will spool earlier if it is leaned out a bit. there is no knock and the tune just needs to be leaned out :P not bad for a stock ecu that has been remapped.

there is definatly 230rwkw to be had with this turbo on an RB20.

it it really nice and progressive smooth and powerful. it does not whack you in the ass with one bit hit of boost.

Also forgot to mention it is making HEAPS of torque. unfortunatly I dont have a reading as i forgot to ask for one and i cant remember how much but it was really good.

it makes enough power to loose traction on accelleration in a straight line in 3rd.

It is quite a while scince i have drevn a REALLY fast car but it sure does have that HoLY ShiT factor when you put your foot down

simon-ae86, Did you get yours tuned

what gear did you do your run in?

I had my dyno today... Made few kw less, but boosts for longer.

will do a write up soon.

The run was done in 4th..

Really keen to see your results simon :no:

yeah should of got the scale on the bottom in rpm not speed.

Yeah Im heaps keen to see results too.

But for 1 hour and a self tune on a chip, dude I think you did alright hey!

Id like to know how they are both like for normal city driving, say under 3000rpm putting around. I know what mine is like with the stock turbo, and it feels pretty good for the city stuff.

Hey CEF11E, it's Jeff from the speedlab here.

I did the tune on simons car today. Curves look very similar, Simon has a printout with torque, i'll let him post that up. Made a few kw less than yours but thats probably partly due to the different dynos, weather, etc. But i was starting to run out of injector flow above 6000rpm if thats any indication. Twas also was suffering from ignition breakdown on a couple of occasions.

I noticed your power seems to drop off a little early. How did you go with timing? I found i could sneak a few degrees more up top just to keep it sweet. On the whole a very impressive reading for such a rich tune. I'm sure there is a heap more in it with 12:1 afr.

My opinion of the hi-flow rb25 turbo is that its very similar in response and power to the kkr-430. Its got 220rwkw in it easy on a rb20 with an upgraded fuel and ignition system to support it.

Cheers -Jeff

Yeah jeff did a fantastic job considering the issues i had with my car, not to sure why im running out of fuel up top as im just cracking 200 rwkw and i have a walbro pump in the car, injectors should be good for another 10-20 rwkw.

that said, i'll get some injectors, AFM and crank the boost a little more.

Hi Jeff.

yep I am running heaps of timing :no: 22 degrees from 4000 to 5600 and 23 at 6000 and then 25 degrees from 6000 to 7800.

I will have to spend quite a bit of time leaning it out and try to bring it on boost a bit faster. I am going to drop the AFR's to 11.5 if i stay with the RB20afm just incase I get a really lead fool on a cold day. but if the Z32 goes in I will run 12:1.

25 degrees from 6000 to 7800 ... far out!

You sure thats right? im suprised its not pinging like crazy, Whats your base timing set at and what fuel are you running?

Edited by simon-ae86

Ok simons cars runing 98 octane. I'll send you the map, you will find its a lot more conservative than yours in the timing. I had 15deg btdc at peak torque then up to 18deg btdc at peak power.

Are you using live-edit/romulator? Using consult for trace etc?

yep. I am going to have to pull timing when more boost goes in and the afr's come up. Also my intercooler is 100mm thich and intake temps measured at the TB are allways below 30deg.

I use live edit or rom editor for fuel and timing maps but do not have a romulator just a stack of blank eproms, a laptop and a eprom burner. Have to get a romulator one of these days :no:

and I dont even have a consult cable at the moment so all calcs were done run by run.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
