Would be interesting to see how much KW you pick up with a larger exhaust dump pipe from the turbo ,

any one know if they run the larger VG30 ex housing on the rb25engine for the Siding turbo up grade ?

Looks good should be happy with $$ you spent on the turbo

My boost was holding perfectly at 16psi with the turbotech controller. I amso have a 3" split dump from the turbo back to the cat.

Cubes, Live edit can be used as a good ground for a base tune but is not accurate down to 1/2 of an afr by any means, especially when you start changing the injector size.

but it is a good starting point.

CEF11E,

Live-edit... How well does the afr display reflect real world afr's?

In most cases not even remotely close for the open loop stuff.

The closed loop stuff should be fairly close assuming the inj and maf are calibrated correctly.

Well I have placed an order with Slide, on a recent trip to the sunny Gold Coast I left a VG30 turbo with him to be MAX FLOWED.

When it comes back it's going on my new L28ET engine, which will be interesting, or hoping so.

Will let you know what it looks like, as he says it will be back by about 26th November.

Cheers, D

Got my Sliding Performance highflow for a AWD RB25det Stagea, received just now

Looks wild !!! Been bored-out to the max! Getting installed on Monday, dont know when the safc & sitc will be re-dyno tuned tho. So I'll keep it under 10psi until its tuned.

Hopefully get the exhaust cam gear wheel installed at same time. And my brake upgrade, time permitting.

this is going to sound like a dumb question (and it may have been answered in the middle few pages. i read the first 2 then skipped the rest), but what does it hit full boost by on the rb20, and what does the stock rb20 turbo hit full boost by?

turbotech boost controller = designed/sold by a guy on these forums for about $35... also retailed by DrDrift

works a bit differently (Better) than a bleed valve... brings boost on faster etc.

sounds great, i want one.. who do i contact to purchase?

cheers

simon

look for one of my old threads called I found a good cheap boost controller for $22.

it is in the forcen induction section and there are about 100 pages of info on it :) the guys name is Mark and his email address is on the first few pages.

Cheers :)

I am working thru my spark issue and turns out I was wrong about the plugs I was using. I had a set of NGK BPR5EIX-11 plugs!!! supprised it didnt miss at 10 psi!

I have just bought the wrong plugs by accident... BCPR6EY-11 Do'H!

The plug height is shorter than the BCPR6ES. they are in the car untill the weekwnd when I will get the bloody correct plugs this time gapped to 0.8.

lol No the rb20det turbo is off it has been running a vg30det turbo for some time. :)

The VG30 is better but still lacks.

These turbo's are cheap, but I really want to throw on an int. gate gt30 .82. and ram as much boost as I can (20 odd) in to it.

A gt35r would be nice but is a tad too laggy on the 3ltrs especially when they need a plenum to make them rev hard. (as we recently found out on a mates car)

BUT... I really am getting tired of driving a car that has a decent motor but crap turbo on it so it very well may see a vg30 max oversize slide turbo thrown on the side. See how things go. :)

I am currently having issues with coils but have had some more time to test.

I have leaned out the tune to 12:1 and put in new plugs and gapped them to 0.8 and am now running 18psi. after 1/2 hour the one of the coils starts to produce missfire so new coils are on the way but the car REALLY moves.

I would estimate there is at least an extra 20rwkw increase taking it to around 230~235RWKW and boost feels like it is coming on much quicker. it starts to get up and go at around 3600rpm.

this is still with the 2.75" exhaust. I really have to say this is a great turbo. I don't care if it is bush bearing, it is a better match to the RB20 than a lot of turbos that cost twice as much. I am really happy with the performance and have pushed the little RB20 as far as I think is realistic for a daily driveable car.

I couldn't be happier.

Cheers :(

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
