Just noticed there's a RB20 (I gather RB24) in the Top RB20 Club making similar power figure

(367rwkw) with cams + HKS TO4ZR turbo at 23psi (post #1602) -

Im interested to know what sized rear housing and wheel is on the rear of a t04z, surely its not 1.6 like a few t04z's. We recently experimented with a mates RB20 with forgies and all sorts and made 291rwkw on 16psi with a gt3540 with a 1.06 rear. However out boost curve is identical to the power curve and never levels out...LOL! however this 20 made 30psi quickly and leveled out. Any insite jeff as to what could cause such a gradual boost curve? Got cams n all.

Yeah i noticed that too, the extra capacity of the rb24 and big cams really help. You can see how we run much more boost for the same power but i am honestly surprised that a totally stock rb20 head can flow as much as it does with standard cams. The ports and valves are pretty small.

I think it is cool that both these engines are running on remapped standard ecu. :)

Hi Ryan, the turbo is actually a GT4094R - garrett 751470-20

If you are having problems with lazy spooling the things to look for would be exhaust manifold leaks, wastegate leaking, cam timing.

yea thanks jeff, its got a pair of jun cams and cam gears, full rebuild with aries pistons, we tuned it ourselves with a microtech ltx12s, i think its just the nature of the turbo and 20 combination....goes like an animal nonetheless, cheers for your advice. we'll tinker a little bit more.

by the looks of things its around 160km/h so around 3800-4000rpm depending on the ratio. Keeping in mind, depending on what bleeder/controller you are using boost will be a bit flatter if it isn't so high because the actuator will start to open sooner with lower boost. Only slightly tho.

Thats some pretty sik numbers Jeff, (around 500hp) good effort.

That magical 400kw figure doesn't seem too far away with a decent cam profile.

I noticed you've decreased spring travel to increase the rate & seat pressure, as long as there is no chance of binding & room for more lift I can't see why you wouldn't get even more impressive numbers.

We must hook up as discussed a few weeks ago when I get back from QLD, cheers.

PS: As others have already stated here, it sounds like you'll get a better reception here as opposed to ns.com

Sorry to dig up an old thread i was just after some info on the re shimmed stock valve springs if anyone can enlighten me???

I have HKS 264 cams (cant remember the lift) to go into my RB20 and wasn't keen on upgrading the valve springs if i didn't have to :thumbsup:

Just wondering who it was that shimmed them, whats involved and roughly how much it cost???

Cheers Ben

mate seems like turbo tune ain't change much since back in 05/06 they overtuned my engine which almost went bang, before i ripped it out and put a new one in then took it blackwood dyno got a tune from them sudden;y more power better response and it didn't wanna go bang anymore,

then they told me wasn't us it was u!!!

for the 1500 bucks i spent on rb25det including buying and installing and tuning (only 40,000ks on engine) i didn't bother trying to chase it up legally would have cost me to much then

thats my glowing recommendation for turbo tune love ya!!

dude, im not saying your wrong or right etc.... i just want to clarify the rb20 that they have built was a lazy engine that was replaced my a fresh one out of a customers car, which had been laying around, they put it in an s14 shell, used a whole heap of parts laying around and FOR A LAUGH tried to find the limits of the motor, It was over a few beers, a few mates and a few laughs after hours and im pretty sure they intended to blow it up, It was by no means an example of what they'd deliver to a customer in any way...

whats the highest safe amount of boost to run with a stock rb25?

do a search man, i personally wouldn't run any more than 17-18psi which a thicker headgasket.

Ryan... the soloution for chris's car is simple.....

Nitrous. And Lots of it. :blush::D

I am also intending running 1.1 - 1.2 bar with stock head gasket.... not pushing the same power as you though Simon. :thumbsup:

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
