Hey... How are ya Macka... :P I sure do remember those threads :D

Adam they were the stock turbo's I was talking about.. :D

The RB20DET is a smaller motor hence it consumes less air hence less rotation speed for the same psi compared to a RB25DET. :)

I'm surprised the RB20DET Turbo has lasted this long actually. Its getting close if not already passed 1 year since i've been running it at 16psi.

Awesome result! That's the first 12 I've heard of on the stock turbo.

I also run around 1 Bar on my stock turbo and I've had no problems. I think most ppl are just a little conservative with their turbos. In my experience, the S1 turbo is good for 1 Bar, but ppl just like to repeat what they've heard about them failing at this level. They may not last as long as one at stock boost, but that's just a fact of life when you turn up the boost. I've given mine many a spirited run and no blades have come off (yet :D hehe).

That said, there's no way I'd run this boost on the racetrack. Guaranteed turbo failure.

S1 stock Turbo's are only around the $500 mark anyhow I believe, not going to be a -huge- repair bill if something does go wrong.

When I was trying to get a good VG30BB from JMS I asked them how much a S1 R33 Turbo was and they told me $800-$900. :D

Great time! Have you had the turbo off the car?

Mine came off and had a modified front wheel, and the ceramic rear wheel was changed. You might have gotten lucky too!

Excellent times none-the-less!

Not the 16.3 one either.. :)

Yeah 111+mph is better than a few upgraded turbo GTS25t's!

My turbo has the potential to get me a bit quicker over the 1/4. 115.83mph on a 13.60 with 2.667 60ft shows this. The larger the turbo & the harder it comes on boost the trickier it becomes to launch successfully, unless you have very very good traction :)

The nice progressive power delivery of the stockie makes it much easier to launch, or more to the point even with a so-so launch the car will still be quick over the 1/4. Take our 60ft's in my 13.0 @ 113 & Matt's (BOOSTD) 12.9 @ 111 - I actually have a quicker 60! (2.238 vs 2.247) But where Matt's turbo would recover quickly from the bogged launch mine would be still spooling up.

The Microtech can probably do the same task? But as I like my old HKS EVC I've never bothered to look into it. Lazy bugger ain't I :)

Ahh I like the challenge of doing it the hard way :)

I have had the turbo off, because no one believed it was stock when it produced 218rwkw, and yes it is dead stock... go figure. It does have a fuel filter the size of a Milo tin and a bocsh motorsport pump(installed after last dyno) and I must say the high flowing fuel system did give it a noticable increased shove into the back of the seat.

Power FC indicates injector duty at 99.8% and my Stock A/F meter runs out of resolution @ 5000rpm. As you can see there is nothing left in it. Thinking about a Z32 A/F meter and adjustable fuel regulator- has to be more tuning to be had up above 5000rpm.

What power were u making before you did the fuel system?

Im on 203rwkw with the stock ecu and stock turbo but have a malpassi fuel regulator sitting ready to be installed/tuned. Hoping this will give me those extra few rwkw that I want.

I haven't dynoed it since I installed the pump, but, it did half my detonation levels. Must have been running alittle lean.:confused:

Hello all just like to get a few things right.

the TD-06 I used was from a VG30ET, yes pretty old school but worked very well, it uses an actuator and bolted onto the standard Manifold, starts making boost from 3,000 and really starts to kick in at 4,000. It is not a 600+ hp Turbo either, td-06 19C. It made 302kw's @ the wheels at Tilbrooks Dyno Center running 1.2bar boost. We couldnt go more as the standard manifold was restricting things. The $1,800 for the Turbo was a bargain , 11.3 @ 122mph is testiment to that.

tOOK bOOSTD for a drive in it today, I'm sure he will confirm what I said.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
