i have a vg30 turbo on mine hopefully be pushing around 220rwkw soonish, just wondering what a highflow would do for the same boost say 17-18psi... im gettin over this lagg shit, althought it see's 15psi by bout 3200-3500 still laggy to me.i would love a 25/30 turbo however i dont think the bank will like it..

Hi-flow will only make lag worse, not that i'd call 15psi by 3200-3500 lagy

I've had a VG30DET on my RB20det.. They have stuff all mid range and don't really get going until the higher gears. General driving rolling on out of corners in second I saw 1bar by 4000rpm ish. Loaded up in fourth I saw 1bar by a shade over 3000rpm.

The VG30DET turbo is nothing more than a RB20DET turbo with slightly larger covers to shift the power up the rev range a little (which is what a 3ltr needs) so it may struggle to crack 190-200rwkw.

They generally push 10-15rwkw max over an RB20DET turbo but with a lot less mid range. The RB25det turbo kicks its arse, it has a larger compressor and a smaller hotside that gets things moving a lot earlier. The rb25's hot side is sized good enough to make 200rwkw.

Obviously depending on dyno.

I went to get a copy of the last run i did but couldn't find it. so we put it back on the dyno did another run.

It looks a lean up top but it is just as he came off throttle. sorry about the stupid scaling for the RPM. i didn't ask for any particular scale. the ramp rate looks ridiculous but if it started from 3000 rmp it would look more normal :)

The numbers are very tidy. You should be happy - it looks to hold the power very easily across 5500 - 7000. The AFR overlay really demonstrates what you've done at peak torque rpm. I take it that was for knock-prevention?

Two things I'd like to see:

the torque curve (instead of power)

a dyno pull starting down at around 16-1800rpm

Just gives me a better interpretation of what it does (and yeah I know you're not likely to run an RB20 down there very much).

yep the dip is an effort to keep it slightly rich when it reaches peak torque. it it probably a little over enthusiastic. but better that than knock at 18psi :)

I have an old printout of torque when the car was making 204rwkw with the same turbo but just quick tune,

Jeff from TSL can probably organise a printout of torque and rpm starting lower.

I think Simon's car is making very similar power? i think i read 225 somewhere? There will be almont no difference in between our cars. the difference between 220rwkw and 240rwkw on an RB20 with the same turbo will be more wheelspin :laugh:

They are amazing results for a std RB20 with a bolt on hi-flow turbo. They appear to be well above the results ppl can expect from a GCG Hi-Flow, HKS 2535, hell even my TD06. That power and response from only 18psi. Hell i think i t even has a HKS GT-RS beaten!

Is it possible to get a chart with road speed rather then rpm and boost?

Bugger me I thought I was the only one thinking that. :)

im pretty happy with mine atm... onlything holding me up from more power is injectors and AFM wich are on the cards soon enough.

I get no wheel spin whatso ever... pretty happy with that. just hauls. But thats largely due to my suspension set up.. even if it is used for drift.

And drift it does... bloody well. Had some 18X10 work wheels on the back with some 235's stretched on.. shredded them hard in 3rd and 4th gear... was pretty crazy :)

I have 215 maxxis tyres and while they are good with your boot in it once it hits 5000rpm in 2nd you loose all acceleration due to wheel spin

I am going to wind it back down to 1bar for normal use it is much more practical there.

cant really help out with the other graphs unless i pay the dyno man more money and he has plenty of mine already :)

I think what i am pushing is pretty much the max the turbo will flow on an RB20.

I did a bit of testing while it was there.

1. the stock rubber intake pipe was not closing at this power level, however the dyno operator said they usually do past 220rwkw.

2. removing the panel filter and just running 1/2 an air box with no filter made no difference at all. the stock air box is fine for this power level.

3. the stock BOV holds 18psi with no problems.

4. my clutch is now slipping and a 5puck cerametallic is going in next week with a new gearbox.

5. skylines are almost as expensive as a well formed crack habit.

6. sliding performance turbos will probably help you pick up girls

#5 I'll second that notion.

#3 i can tell you the stock bov can hold 20psi no problem :laugh:

why bother with aftermarket?!?

I have been having a really good look at a few things and have come to the conclusion that my RB20 is may well be an RB22.

I took the timing belt cover off tonight to find that it has a new looking aftermarket timing belt. that didn't add up as the previous owner said it was due to be changed.

then on further inspection i dug through old receipts to find when the timing belt was done and found a receipt for 6 81mm 4agze pistons...

go figure.

I guess i am really happy about it I really can't confirm it is the case without taking the head off.

seeing as Simon is making 225rwkw the results are almost identical.

Now i am puzzled....

I doubt it has 81mm pistins. My bigger TD06 is making:

- 100rwkws @ 3850rpm

- 207rwkws @ 4620rpm

- 237rwkws @ 5380rpm

- 239rwkws @ 6920rpm

gallery_462_50_8431.jpg

Those figures are not on a dyno dynamics dyno so are 10rwkws or so below what most DDs read.

What are the wheel sizes of the high flow? I would think they are no bigger then the TD06??? So wouldnt expect it to have more inertia???

So i would expect if yours had the extra 3mm bore and ccs it would spool up a little better.

But you never know, the difference could be in the turbo and you have the 81mm pistons...but my money is its a stocker.

    • 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.
