It does if you put an Rb20/25/30 spiggot bearing in.

Darrens (Bl4ck32) RB30 had a flywheel attached as it was from a manual car.

But to his suprise it still had the automatic spiggot in there.

The Auto spiggot hangs 1/4 out of the crank. The Manual spiggot sits all the way in and you can only just get a finger in there.

The Auto you can almost fit a thumb in it.

I posted pics a while back.

Unsure if it was in another thread or in the RB30 thread.

I've been getting a little bit of reversion occuring with the stock rb20t turbo and std. N/A cam specs.

I've advanced the timing quite a bit 25degree's to help smooth it out.

Now I can only ever so slightly feel the bog down only under certian conditions.

Its going on the dyno Friday for a tune so it will be interesting to see if it gets rid of that afm cut I'm getting at around 10psi. :P

AFR's are fairly rich dipping in to the 10's and it only gets richer as boost increases.

I have a question.

I'm worried about running the engine in with all the aftermarket parts i'll be using with a power fc on a standard rb25 tune.

Would it be better to run the engine in with the standard cams and injectors and install the pon cams and 740cc injectors later. (valve springs will be already installed.

Hi Alf, I would stick it all in, that's what I do. It is so much easier to do on the engine stand than once it is installed in the car. I simply take 700 cc vs 370 cc out of fhe master fuel correction on the PFC Commander (about 45%). Remember to do that every time you turn off the engine as the Power FC does not retain master corrections.

Hope that helps:cheers:

Can you not do this in a more permanent way?.. seems odd to do it every time you turn the car off??

I dont believe there is anyway in the PFC Hand Controller to do this. We looked for ages for this option and the only way i could take a certain % of fuel out of the system (50 psi base pressure in fuel) was to go into the INJ map and take out 15 press's on EVERY load point which took me about 2 hours :D

It only takes a few seconds to change the master correction, until I get to do a proper tune, it is the best way I have found. Going though the maps and changing 400 load points by the same amount is a waste of time as you have to tune it properly soon anyway. Guessing a single % for the whole rpm and load range is not a good idea. If you are going to carry out minor upgrades often, then you should look at a Datalogit, it's very simple then.

Thanks for the advice. I should be able to get the car running with the master correction on the hand controller and then get it down to a dyno with a datalogit for the actual tune ;)

You don't need to do the tensioner like this also. I think 2 tensioners in the stock position would be fine.

I like the second (high) tensioner mount, same as this. Personally I think the tensioners get too close together when they are both mounted low and the teeth face each other. Any slacknes in the belt or a bit of whip and the opposing teeth will rip each other to pieces as they are travelling in opposite directions at big RPM.

I see your point..

I was thinking of the OS RB30, they have the low mounted tensioners, but then again, they have a different sized belt also. ;)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
