no way can i see anything there is just too much shit in teh way and doesnt look very easy to pull it all off.

il go have a look at that exhaust number but in the mean time the actuator has a stamp on it that says 242x02 in black writing and its stamped ASN79 or somthn

4513 pretty sure. the 4, 5 and 3 is a definate confirmation but the 1 sort of looks like a V not sure, thats teh best angle i can get.

45v3.jpg

really looks like a V but not sure.. so i guess if it was that makes it a 45V3 which yeh is off a rb25, but there is a 45V1, 45V2 as well isnt there? whats the dif between them

on what engine?

on an RB25.. yes.. it's too much.

on a smaller rb20 it should be just about as much as you'd want to put through a ceramic exhaust wheeled turbo.

all the pics you've posted have had 20V seca in the name so you could be putting this on a 4age in which case, I've seen people put 17+ through that turbo on those engines.

the RB25 is 500cc larger in capacity.

it can push out x amount more air so to speak.

so people say that the max safe boost setting for a stock R33 gtst is about 10-12psi.

and on a car that is 500cc smaller in capacity, it can handle more boost to put the same amount of strain on the turbo as it does on a lower boost setting when on the RB25.

Also, the RB20 has lower compression than the RB25 which also means more PSI to bring the power/heat to the same levels.

f*k that was a messy post.

its on my R32 GTST - RB20.

why the psi differences? is that due to the fact a RB25 puts out alot more exhaust heat than the RB20?

At 10PSi on a 2.5Litre, compared to a 2L, you're putting through more air. Which means turbo spins faster, which means more heat in the turbo.

Well said. :/

Makes sense when you say it that way.

Thanks,

which also means more power but that's a different point.

on one of my RB20's I bolted an RB25 turbo to, I had the usual mods except FMIC.

with the exhaust and filter being free flowing, and no boost control, the stock car would boost to 11psi. (stock is 10)

Once the RB25 turbo went on and I used a boost controller to bring it to 11 psi (I used the stock actuator instead of the rb20 one so it had 6psi stock), I put it on a dyno and it made 153rwkw.

I think a stock R32 makes around 110rwkw.

an RB25 with stock turbo at 10psi (if it isn't missing and spluttering like a shitbox) will have around the 170rwkw.

an RB20 with stock turbo at stock 10psi but with intake and exhaust mods will have around 130rwkw.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
