wow now you have me thinking lol

Just wondering what other modifications you have done?

Aftermarket plenum being the obvious one, and probably a z32, bigger injectors etc

Is the engine standard internally? How much boost to make 252rwkw and when does it hit full boost?

What size exhaust housing are you using on the 3540?

Thanks,

Abu

The 3540 for under 300rwkw is a massive overkill. Not only do you sacrifice spool but you sacrifice response which greatly affects low gear acceleration.

When does it kick you in the arse? 5500rpm?

Does it kick you in the arse in the lower gears (1st and 2nd) if rolling on the throttle or does it take until 3rd gear to really get up and go?

That is technically impossible. First and second will ALWAYS make boost later than the higher slower reving 3rd and 4th gears.

Especially with a turbo of such size on the 2ltr; unless you hold your foot on the brake. :P

Regardless I was talking about where it kicks you in the arse; i.e picks up/clears its throat/feels lively/free and screams off.

At 4500rpm its only making ~105rwkw; 5000rpm ~140rwkw and then 5500rpm ~190; the biggest jump in power is from 5000rpm to 5500rpm which suggests a little before 5500rpm is where it picks up and goes.

If it is making all its boost at 4500rpm its not doing a lot with it. :P

hey guys ive got a rb20 fairly stock standard would you guys recommend a GT3071r and what would the response be like ona standard cam. Obviously thingslike exhaust manifold, Injectors ,fuel pump ecu would all be done! thanks guys

those asking about the gt2510 here are some results from my old setup bare in mind i suspect the dyno used was about 5-10kw too generous.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=2184825

personally i wasnt a fan of the 2510 as it runs out of puff up top. since then i had it rebuilt into what resembles a GT2530 using a larger garrett turbine and the difference was amazing. it felt it was easily good for a REAL 225+rwkw @ 1.35bar. never had it dynoed due to tuning and workmanship issues but a huge increase nevertheless, it still lacked a lil grunt right up top....to this day even with a grinder spec turbine wheel it still spins the 18" 255 rubber @1.1bar in the dry.

personally i think chasing power under 4500rpm in a rb20 is a waste of time and money. they love to rev and are more efficient making top end power so you just need to make sure you have a good clutch and use it accordingly.

currently im thinking of rebuilding the GT2510 again with fresh bearings and using the GT2871 turbine with ext gate to get a constant 22psi out of it but i dunno how a rebuilt unit would hold up with that kind of pressure daily.....or another idea im throwing around is a GT30 of some sort to get a lil more power up top.

I wouldnt say wasting time and money, but i do tend to agree that sizing your turbo to be on and hiking under 4,000rpm is difficult and often only get a handful of kws at those sorts of revs between a smaller turbo and one that will make 30-40rwkws more over 5,500rpm

I recently bought a Garrett T3G (apparently an old'er version of the HKS 2530), its currently making 188RWKW without a tune on around 15psi, on my quite standard RB20 its making full boost (15psi) by 3200rpm in 3rd gear.

I purchased the turbo for $1000 and its almost a bolt on affair (oil line mods and turbo outlet).

Just another option for the RB20 :P

Can you get Sam to overlay the graph against your GT-RS and the TD06?

will do. ATM Sam's back is stuffed so he ain't working for a while.

what i can compare to is my GTRS and going from the dyno sheet the 2510 produces exactly 50rwkw more at 90kmh in 4th and 40rwkw more at 100kmh. But from 135kmh the GTRS pulls away & the graph doesn't fall off as quickly due to the bigger exhaust housing having less restriction....

I'm gonna get cam gears for the 2510 so hopefully i'll gain at least 15rwkw right up top & the power won't fall away as quickly...but cam gears are only gonna happen once you make that cooler piping for me :)

50rwkws at 90km/h! LOL, OK then, i take back what i have said earlier as most smaller turbos only seem to make 5-15rwkws more earlier in the rev range....i will take the 50rwkws at 90km/h and happily trade it for a bit of top end. My housemates STI with onkly 200rwkws is so much quicker around town then my car because it so grunty at any rev

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
