What would be the best combo to make power to 8000 rpm? What cams at what lift/duration? What sprockets? What turbo? I'd like to make 270-300 whp. I don't care if it doesn't make power until 4000. I like some lag to stay out of boost while cruising. But a 3500-4000 rpm pull range would be nice. If your wondering what I'll use if for that would be fun. Just something to beat on and raise general hell. Thanks

You won't need cams to make power up to 8,000rpm

You will need a bigger turbo, injectors, engine management, fuel pump, exhaust, intercooler and tune

Turbo wise something like a HKS2535 would be good if your looking for around 300rwhp and its not that laggy either

ive got the KKR480 turbo... runs about 17psi. bit laggy, full boost by about 4.5k but turbo is still new so gotta let it settle a bit.. but apart from that.. car revs happily to 8500rpm with out so much as a tune yet

i got intercooler, exhaust, gtr fuel pump, remapped ecu and electronic boost controller...

Meh to valve springs and all that. Just get a nice turbo rated at around 400hp, something like a TD06, 3071 etc and get it well tuned with adjustable cam gears. I run a TD06 on a std motor and on plenty of occassions have ran it to a 8,800rpm rev limit with 18psi or so jammed into it. Though i tend to try and run either high revs or high boost, not normally both.

I know what supporting mods are necessary just needed some advice on good combos to utilize. Thanks.

I really have no good reason other than "just because" or the sound and to do it often. At least hit 8k in neutral, 2nd, or 3rd every day till/if it pops(I know I'm a ricer). If it does it can be rebuild. I love the power/sound/revs/price of the rb20. Its perfect for me.

Who here can mod the stock mani to use an ext wastegate? How much? Isn't the 20g what some dsms have stock but uses 3 bolt flange or what ever?

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
