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 :(

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
