Ah true? He didn't mention it, just said maybe cam gears or something from memory. Need to save up a few hundred dollars for it to get dyno tuned again i spose, balls

Did I read that right...? you hit 14 psi at 5800 rpms?!?

Sounds like if you replaced your turbo/manifold gaskets you'd get better spool than if you upgraded to a ball bearring turbo!

Seriously, thats and unhealthy late spool.

This might be alittle off topic but then again it could help this guy out...Does anyone have a dyno graph of a sliding performace rb20 highflow on an rb20? it'd be good to compare it to all the other graphs on the rb20 thread...

Just had a look through the RB20 topic and dam theres something bottleknecking my car's performance bad. Most of the standard r32 turbo's are maxing at 140, some 145, mines alot bigger than the standard and it's maxing at 142 so something wack there. Most r33 turboes are making the power about 15-20 km/h higher than i am.

You're damn right there is!

I put down 219 hp, or 163 rwkw, at 12 psi on my rb20 turbo. SAFC, open downpipe, FMIC.

My roommates car made 258 hp 259 tq on his r33 turbo @ 16 psi.

Same here...i've got a standard engine with standard turbo, exhaust, fmic, fuel pump and dr drift remap and it laid down 160rwkw at 12psi too on Sam's dyno...so theres definitely something wrong with how much power you're making...

Edited by limpus

full boost should be lower....3500rpm on my cousins 32 with 33 turbo...

i thought that the comprimise of 500rpm of response for the extra power up top of the 33 turbo was well worth it...

also running 14psi on the 34 turbo on a rb20 is roughly the same as running 12psi on a rb25....

This was a write up done on Sliding Performance turbo's on an RB20DET proving that even the standard RB25 highflow is more then capable of creating 230rwkw. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...142615&st=0

Your power drops off far too early...

I've got max power at 6500rpm and then at 8000rpm I've got the same power as at 5300rpm. RB20 with R33 S2 turbo.

You should have something pretty similar seeing as you've got the same turbo except the bigger turbine housing.

Hmm damn, lots of responses saying it's shagged, sucks that it's not easily diagnosable (<< how the hell do u spell diagnosable) and the fact that the guy who tuned it didn't mention that it was dropping off prematurely worries me, hope my engines not rooted, i thought it was pretty good. Any one know of any dyno nights closer to greensborough/watsonia/eltham area coming up soon so i can see if the cat/dump has made any difference (i normally dont rev the thing past about 6.5k anyway)

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
