Hey guys new to the forum and in the market for a 32 gtst. Just inquiring about the potential of the RB20 and what can be done with the car its self. Not looking for all out ball tearing power. I own an Toyota EP82 atm and its borderline go-kart/rag doll.. so i'm going to be setting it up more to the response/handling side of performance.

Is the 32 gtst able keep the power down well to the tyres.. if set up accordingly.. and

What is the limit of the stock turbo & stock cooler, max (safe) psi & hp..

Cheers

Stock turbo is good to about 150-160rwkw on a good tune and good condition rb20. Most people replace the stock cooler with a FMIC or a R34 sidemount, I can't really comment on what power the stocker is good till, you'd probably get heat soak with stock power levels.

You won't be able to do rev limiter launches with RWD but it does grip quite well. Its all about tyres really. Handling is great but really benefits from aftermarket suspension as the stock gear will be quite worn out. With 150rwkw I don't lose traction in first or second in the dry going in a straight line, thats with a blown rear shockies aswell.

get a 32 and put a rb25 in it. then your power potential will rise. you will be looking at close to 200kw on stock turbo with all the usual mods. the only problem is that high rpm launches won't be possible anymore unless you want to fry the tyres.

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
