Hey there

im almost finished my rb20det into my 180sx conversion

just wondering is it still possible to use my car with stock ecu after i change the turbo to a t04e or do i need to buy a EMS?

Mod my car have are:

Trust FMIC

3" turbo Back exhaust

t04e (going to run 10-12psi) Turbine .63 Comp .60 (too Big? Aiming for 220-250rwkw?)

Os Giken Adjustable Cam Gears

walbro 341

Should i get a rising rate Fuel Pressure reg?

Will my car run like a sack of *poo*

or will it have basically small to no Change on how it will run?

Cheers Fellas

William

you wil have lag, lag, lag.

you will need a retune 100%. just have your stock ecu remapped :D

i dont mind lag lol

but....

will my car be very much driveable still as i wont have enough moeny for remap or ecu before end of this month and i wanna get it mod plated and on road before july 1st lol

sigh...

Do yourself a favour and have a look in the rb20 sticky thread at the top of the forced induction forum and see what turbos work on an rb20 for what you want to do.

then do a search for t04e and see what people think of them.

Then decide if you still want to install it.

car will run fineish under 5,000rpm i.e before you hit boost

if you want to putt it round to the tuners it should be fine just keep it off boost and make sure you still have stock fuel pressure on the reg

and not way under or something stupid

ps t04e will suck the wang if your only gonna be running 10-12psi you must have low power hopes i.e under or around 200rwkw

why not just go a vg30 turbo or a rb25 they will be much nicer to drive and still make or get close to the power you want

Forgot to mention turbo has Turbine .63 and Comp .60

Should of done some research but impulse bought :action-smiley-069: but can anyone see any Pro's to this turbo on a rb20det and what would cons be?

sell that piece of crap turbo and buy something else, put a stock one back on and save your money for something thats actually good.

Buy a sliding hiflow, you can't get cheaper. It bolts on and unlike the turbo you have it has an actual power curve.

i have a similar turbo on my rb20 silvia...

specs are:

50 a/r compressor

.63 a/r turbine

.57 trim

still running on the standard computer and its running REALLY rich...

its not pinging and not detonating... but it sure as hell needs a tune..

i have no boost before 4000rpm... but then it pulls (sideways) until redline...

i would strongly recommend getting a tune sooner than later... no point running it without a tune...

The first RB20 i remember being worth is salt on SAU was CLint32 back in about 2002. He ran a HKS TO4E kit that was released for the RB20. He made good power, ran 12s, though i dont know exactly how responsive it was. But provided its an RB20 kit then you could do far worse. Hell grab the kit, run it for a whiel then update to a newer turbo, the manifold and wastegate alone are worth buying the kit for

IMO the only "T3/T04E" - actually TA34 in Garrett speak worth having is one called a TA34-1 , do a search . Is supposed to work reasonably well on an RB20 . T3 flanged , .58 turbine housing and I think a 37 or 40 trim T04E compressor .

Hmm couldn't find much on my quick look. I'd shoot for a 50-trim T3/T04E with .48a/r turbine housing. They're pretty reasonable spool wise for a T3/T4E and are capable of some good power. Not to mention cheap:

thats for a externally gated

though aint it?

Thats a garrett factory fitted T3/T04E on a GTSR. They can work ok, for an old school turbo, if the combination is right. Thers a million types of T3/T4 so its hard to know what will happen untill you throw it on.

It is a .60 TO4 compressor housing and the exhaust I beleive is 0.63, same size as whats on a VLT I beleive. No information on trims.

The one I mean uses a 40 trim T04E compressor and 50 A/R T04E compressor housing . The turbine housing is integral gate , 58 A/R and V band outlet .

The stumbling block is using large trim T04E compressors on these crossbreed turbos , no way a T3 (small series like we have in Australia) can properly drive them . They create lag down low and the small turbine/housings create restriction not long after the thing gets going . The smaller trim one like this (pics) has airflow more in step with the exhaust gas flow which is how turbos are supposed to be .

Cheers A .

From Clint32's results

The turbo has a 0.6 A/R comp housing with a 54mm comp wheel from memory, this was new. The exhaust housing is 0.6a/r with a 58mm wheel, ,aking 235-240rwkws.

Does anyone know aything about the HKS T04E turbos that came on the cast wastegates and had the external gate for the RB20? For instance could i use this exhaust housing on a GT3076R.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
