Hey guys .. ive been buying bits and pieces to mod my car.. after speaking to my Mechanic he advised with what i want to do with my car that the ceramic wheels will not hold on the Stock turbo...aparently they dont like a little boost tweek.

i was looking for a straight bolt on .. what are my option? maybe soone would know a link where i could surf..

the mods ive prepared so far are:

3' zorst with dump pipe

k&n pod

fmic

front facing plenum

P.FC

better fuel pump (havnt got it yet)

looking into some good injectors too

1 tonner clutch

Your help is much appreciated

forget the front facing plenum.

stock RB25 turbo on to an RB20 with about 13psi boost seems to be about 190rwkw with the rest of the mods you mentioned.

a highflow of that turbo (prices ranging from $1K to $2K) will give you about 240rwkw at just under 20psi.

after that, there aren't any direct bolt on turbo's and the mods get alot more expensive.

since you have a stock car, get a stock RB25 turbo, all your other goods, tuned and you'll be happy for a while.

Front facing plenum is a waste of money at the powere levels you are talking about.

do a search for "Plenum" to find many threads on this.

I'm sure they are a usefull upgrade further down the track, but at the power levels under 250rwkw it is a waste of money.

also, there are no "OFF THE SHELF" rb20 FFP's available.

I think PlazmaMan makes some.

pretty expensive though.

All i gotta do is find the best place to buy an RB25 turbo

Your wasting your time with the front facing plenum in my opinion as well

Max you will get from an RB25 turbo is 190rwkw and front facing plenum isn't worth the trouble as more than likely you won't see any gains

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
