Ok this is mostly for guys who have rb25 hiflows on there rb20s

I put this turbo on the weekend, everything seems ok, smooth boost throught the rev range and i can feel the difference in top end yadda yadda. But why when i snap it from first to 2nd it just bogs down and has to build boost again, there is no wheelspin. I dont know maybe i was expecting too much.. id like to here others opinons. Mtq hiflowed the turbo.. but s**t it seems real laggy. The only thing i can think of why its laggy is the rb20 elbow is still on there temporarly?

Experiances is all im really after.

Cheers

well when you change any turbo in your car. it must be tuned.

when i put my hiflow on it was the same. dont worry about it. tune it and you will see the difference.

post up your results with the MTQ hiflow too. would be interesting to see when its done.

cheers

A standard RB25 turbo on my old 20 was laggy.. a hiflow will be even more so.

+1 get it tuned, they will be able to wind some timing into the offboost areas and get it spooling sooner.

Also, what boost controller are you running if any?

Its going in next week as my dyno man is currently moving his dyno into his new shop, he said he will sort me out, he is usually right.. lol.

you have an rb25 im guessing? wonder what the rpm difference is usually in comparison to rb20? when were you seeing boost before and after tune.

Not sure about those controllers, mine has a feature to hold the gate shut till a certain pressure (in my case I have it set to 9psi) which helps spooling.

So you can compare, when I had the standard 25 turbo on my 20 it would start spooling about 2500, make full boost (12psi) by 3500rpm and max power about 6500rpm. That was all untuned.

Common problem . What happens is that the engine can now breathe out more easily and will improve its combustion efficiency via better scavanging .

I'd be looking at ways to increase its light load ignition advance whilst maintaining appropriate AFR's .

I went from an RB20 BB turbo to the GT2860Rs on the old FJ20 2L 4 and the extra timing that it could then take was amazing , so were the results .

You need to be able to advance the ignition ONLY in the areas where it's not seeing boost anymore, i.e. the stock ecu will be expecting to see a whole bunch of air under pressure between 2000-3000rpm which just isn't there anymore with the bigger turbo.

It's not just a case of turn the CAS to get more advance, you need a custom tune, I had my stock 32 ecu remapped to suit my new engine :blush:

SITC's can help with the ign timing, and bring on boost a bit lower in the rpm

sitc + safc2 isnt a bad mix, add in a z32 afm (seeing you have a highflow turbo, it'll suck way more air in thru the afm) and you can get a good tune going

seeing you have a manual tho, why not get the ECU remapped and then use the safc to simply make minor adjustments to the ROM tune

As above.. SAFC + ITC is for the lazy people with bad knees and can't operate the left foot so drive auto tanks. :blush:

sell the SAFC and with the money, you could have a chip for your ecu that will give better results all over the rev range.

The Hi flow RB25 turbo on an RB20 is a pretty common route.

User on here called CEFFIE made 240rwkw @ 19psi on his setup remapping his stock ecu.

And everything looked stock.

have a chat with him

SAFC is for fuel adjustments.

ITC or SITC is for timing adjustments.

But it's crap.

there are 5 points at which you can make changes (if I recall)

where as a remap can have timing changes at ALOT more points in the rev range.

AND, it is programming the actual computer's own programs rather then "tricking" it via a singal bender like the SAFC is.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
