Ive just handed my car over to get it turbo'd up

parts im fitting for the turbo conversion are:-

apexi power fc ($1029 ebay :P)

apexi avcr ($588 ebay :))

turbo + oil and water lines (stock)

front pipe and dump pipe(stock)

370cc injectors + fuel pressure regulator (stock)

turbo manifold (stock)

600x300x76 intercooler kit from just jap ($350)

walbro 500hp intank fuel pump ($170)

parts cost me around 2600

labour is costing me 1500

the tune for the power fc is costing 650 including installation

parts ive already got on:-

hks super dragger exhaust system

drift urethane pod filter

i expect around 160rwkw but may be more not sure :) but thats what i reckon will have to post up all dyno figures when i get it back which should be in a week or so

hopefully nothing goes BANG hahaha

no head gasket???

u should put a thicker head gasket at least for sum boost.....maybe forgies?

forgies later but maybe a head gasket when i source one, ive already got a uas tailshaft which claims "more response and less drivetrain loss" that gets fitted once the car comes back to me :P

Leave it high-compression for a bit, you'll crack 180rwkw and have a ton more torque at 7psi :)

A headgasket just turns it back into a boring RB25DET spec engine :P

more boost and possibly more reliable, would rather that then my engine dying after a few months

OK 100 dramas later (including a steel wheel turbo that we couldnt modify to fit) and a blown clutch ive gotten my car back from advan, with only 160rwkw (which is alot more than stock) have gearbox dramas at the moment, a bit hard to get into 1st and reverse but im sure it just needs an oil change (redline oils perhaps?) but if i need a new box well then shi.t happens, other than that i think the low rwkw is due to me finding out that the exhaust isnt actually a cat back but the tip has just been replaced (damn northshore prestige i asked for a cat back!!) and also the low boost and timing of it all. A few more issues which i will be sorting out soon is a new timing belt and getting the radiator fluid as well as hoses changed, i still havent got the greddy turbo timer installed that will be next on the list as well. I will also be doing internals around tax return time, whether i just put in some forged pistons or should i do the rods as well, if i do the pistons do i have to do the rods too? after i get some advice i'll start buying the parts.

any comments or advice is welcome cheers.

what boost are you running to get 160 at the wheels, i was a little dissapointed i only hit 130 but i have a r32 turbo grr 33 one blew up, you have a bigger cooler than i do but that wouldnt really affect the power cept mabye you can up the boost or timing a little, the only other reall difference i have is a microtech sted of power fc and i have an after market fuel reg rather and stock na injectors but they arnt maxxed out yet so they arnt holding my power back any.

at the moment theres stock boost, but im a bit dissapointed with the result as i thought i had a cat back but it turns out to be a stock exhaust with new tip lol *note to self dont ever trust a car dealer* but yeah stock boost and theres no real modifications apart from pfc and cooler, i should be getting a full turbo back sorted out very shortly hoping to hit the 175 - 180 mark with that atm theres too much torque it pulls hard but i havent gone past 4000rpm 1. coz im scared to loose control and 2. coz new clutch

The torque is great...I'm still in disbelief that unarmed isn't running the injectors out off puff...maybe the RB20 turbo just doesn't flow enough full stop. Get an R33 turbo and you should see at least what DaGr81 is seeing. When he replaces the exhaust, whammy!!!

yeh boo hoo to the 32 turbo lol its not pushing as much as when the 33 turbo was on only breifly, grrr i asked for another 33 turbo n what do they do go and put on a 32 turbo get it all running then tell me and say ohh it flows the same grrr bullshit, oh well, after a few weeks of driving the car now im liking the power more and more and figuring the feel out, the kick at 5000rpm aint there with the microtech dunno if thats cause it doesnt have vtc control or cause the vct control has been set up to run like a turbo but it does seem that a 5k the turbo starts to run out of puff and drops a little boost but the car doesnt seem to drop any power and still pulls right out to redline so mabye its a turbo thing i duno, the start up and cold start procedures arnt right get ill have to take it back next week to get them to look at it, other than that my fuel reg is really noisy so im getting that changed under warrenty, but ohh the car is soo much more powerfull now loving it, would love to put a 33 turbo on and cooler and injectors car could prob hit round 180-200 then but im happy with what i got atm lol

i havent updated this in a while.

done a few things since my turbo conversion.

had cooling to take care of so i threw in a nismo 62.5 degree thermo, which i got rid of a week later because it was keeping temps at 68 all day long, now i binned the stock radiator and have a just jap item in there looks good and does a good job temps hover around 78 which is a good temp.

i binned the standard dump pipe and front pipe, also from just jap is a 3" split dump/front pipe, only thing left to do now is fix up that exhaust system, as i mentioned earlier its really stuffed "meant to be a 3" hks super dragger" but the cat is only 2" and the pipe to the tip is all different diameters, hard to believe that it came with it like that from japan, got quoted 350 for a pipe change (keeping the hks tip) and i'll probably end up with a xforce cat.

power output is around the 180rwkw mark at the moment not sure on torque but once i fix the exhaust problem i will dyno again and post up the sheet.

was also about to do the brake conversion when i eyed an 8piston caliper kit which im really keen on so ive sold off all the brake parts i had and now will get the 8 pistons (too big but it looks nice :P) 5 stud hubs are in the garage as well as the rear brake parts (will need r34gtt rims until im ready for some nice enkei's) :D

only one thing left from here....ive been saving for about 5 months for this.........RB30 :P

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
