Rb20 Turbo Setup

[mahartika]

just a few questions

1. how far can i push a mines ecu in regerds to turbo size

2. what is a good size

3. what parts are needed. excluding hoses and clamps

as you can see i need help

[limpus]

Do a search before people start flaming you...and the mines ecu will be pretty useless unless you can get someone to tune it...

[mahartika]

i have searched mate. i need answers. So if you have nothing constructive to say then piss off!!

[limpus]

I did tell u something constructive...you really won't be able to get much out of the mines ecu if you can't tune it to suit your car...how about you ask proper questions before you have a go at me?

Good size for what? 300hp? 500hp?

What do you already have? and what do u mean by parts needed? parts for the swap alone? or parts to support the new turbo? and then...it also depends on what turbo you want to get...which will determine what parts you need...thats why i said search first...how do you expect people to help if you aren't clear?!

300hp would be nice all i have in it is

fuel reg

pod

fmic

550hp fuel pump

so i need help with a list of parts i am going to need in order to get this car form stock turbo to running a turbo package rated to 300rwhp.

[limpus]

Ok...in terms of support mods you seem to be on the right path...you will need some sort of programmable engine management...as for the turbo to get...look at the rb20 turbo upgrade thread...you will be able to see how others are doing and follow the same path...

[mahartika]

yep i have read that post. Would a apexi avcr do for engine management.

I would not have created this post i did not need the help. I still have no i dea about ecu and turbo size. To4e maybe

[r32woohoo]

anything much bigger then an rb25 hiflow and the lag will drive u nuts

[RaZ_TuRbO]

To4e is way too big for any practicality in an rb20...rb25 hiflow is my choice hands down because it involves not much modification to fit, not ridiculously laggy, it and its good for at least 200rwkw with supporting mods.

If you dont have a full exhuast system get one of those first.

Whats the budget and are you fitting it yourself or paying someone to install?

budget is a tight one, If i can fit it myself i will.

I forgot to mention it has a full 3 inch zorst

if i go a hiflowed rb25 turbo would the mines ecu support it ?

[limpus]

An apexi avcr is NOT engine management...its a boost controller...and as i mentioned...jap tuned ecus are usually useless here in australia because they are tuned for very rich air fuel ratios and higher octane fuel...if they can be retuned then it might work...but in the end it'll just be like a remapped ecu...in the end...you have 3 simple options for engine management...piggyback(safc, emanage and the like)...remap(dr drift remap) or stand alone(power fc or similar)...i'm guessing your car has a mines tuned rom in it since you're so keen on finding out about it...speak to your local tuners to see if it can be retuned...if not bin the thing...

that post was probably the most informative and truthful post in this thread. And with a reply like this one quoted, I hope you get flamed to ashes.

A mines ECU IS USELESS unless you have someone to tune it. If you leave it how it is it will be exactly as it states - a mine. Your engine will go kaboom.

and AVCR is not engine management, its a boost controller.

How hard?

There is some quite useful info here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=103095

Which is at the top of the PI page.

Otherwise search using keywords like Slide, GCG*, 2530*, 2871*, Discopotato, MTQ*, highflow, etc.

Make some effort to search and see/read what others have achieved/done, before telling someone where to get off.

The whole thing isn't about instant gratification. If you want to modify then you need to know exactly what you want out of your car, and what use you want to put it to. That will ultimately dictate what works best for you.

[Dale FZ1]

And here's a thread that was active in only the past few days about remapping:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=143835

If you want to know about stand alone replacement ECU, then try searching PFC*, Apexi, Microtech, Datalogit.

Again, it's only down to your budget and intended outcome. You could try Googling Adaptronic too.

None of this is hard, just a bit time consuming to build your own understanding.
