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

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 :(

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
