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.

Cheers

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.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
