Well my rebuild is on the way.

if anyone remember's i blew my little two litre engine at the phillip island sprints not too long ago

turned out that my head gasket blew and filled the cylinder with water then BANG!!!

too much boost... car was pulling 238.8rwkw with low compression.

so ive finnaly got my mechanic to start the rebuild... ha ha with a few extra goodies...

i chose to re build the 20 because there is too much legal issues with change overs to the 25 or the 30

im happy with the power i had any how..

here's my mods

3 inch turbo back exhause with hi flow cat

gt30 450hp turbo

fmic

greddy boost controller

660cc denso injectors

high mount exhaust manifold

wolf 3d version 5 computer

k and n pod filter

new stuff im getting are as follows:

rebuliding with forged pistons

shot pinned conrods

plenum

cam

hi flowing the head

clutch

oil catch can

just wanted to know everyones opinions

is there anything else i should do while shes open???

what power do you reckon ill make???

Who told you that mate?

There would be less legal issues (as paul has alluded too) because sticking with a high mount is like painting a dogs balls bright orange :sorcerer:

Good luck with it either way :)

If you want advice on legalities or your concerns, shoot me a PM :P

I tend to agree with Ash and Paul.

Not too hard to fit an rb25 or rb26 with std ecu, get an engineer's certificate and epa approval, then fit the usual mods.

As previously stated; a high mount is probably the worst option, with regards to legality.

sorry boyz but i checked it all out to make the gts-t comply with the engineersyou need to change heaps of shit may as well go buy the gtr.

high mount i agree is a magnent buthow easy is it to change?

we all went through this before i started

if you guys read the post i wanna know what power you think she will make and if i should do anything else while shes open???

no mumbo jumbo crap about legal shit its been discussed in like 75% of all posts.

What cams and what does high flowing the head mean? Cleaned up ports, match porting, modified combustion chambers???

Depends on what pistons you are running, and whether you are usign good rod bolts etc, but i would say the engine on paper should be strong for 19psi and 250rwkws all day at 7,800rpm :D

yeah i reckon so too but my guess is ill put out around the 280rwkw mark on full boost maybe 22 23 psi only because my last engine was screwed with low compression thats why it wasnt makin power in the first place.

we'll see anyway but id be happy with 260kw all day long at 18 19 psi

the plenum will shorten the intercooler piping hi flowing/porting the head will allow more air flow in. im using the best parts in my engine ive left it to my mechanic on what to get but he said it will put out good power and be real strong. hes also deciding on the cam to bring spool up a little lower

depends if the plenum is shit or not.. u dont want a 25 cause of cop trouble but you highmount your turbs? i guarantee you the popo wouldnt be able to tell the difference between my 25 and a 20.. unless pettit busted my nuts.

i didnt want a 25 not because of cop trouble but because it would have cost soo much to get the engineers for it and i dont have all the stock parts of a 25 to change it back once its modded and i would have put my high mount/same turbo ect ect on the 25 anyway

thing is if i got epaed on the 25 with no engineers id be screwed completely

the way i have it now is i have all stock 20 parts if i get done i change it back cost is a little less.

to get an engineers on a 25 you need to do breaks gear box ect basically need to make the 32 up with all 33 parts.. well thats what the engineer told me to get it to pass

too much stuffin around rebuild for the 20 was cheaper anyway and i have more money to spend on performance parts.

cant wait to get my baby back on the road.

its gonna be a pretty tuff20 actually is that #plate taken?? sounds good

anyway it will turn heads i bet i pull 260 270 rwkw easy

we will see ill take bets if you's want $$$ put money down winner takes all

my bet is 260 @ 18psi

280 @ 22psi

Just a stab

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
