the series 4 rx7 compressor wheelis 51 mm the series 5 one is 54 or 55 mm and they are steel I ahve driven an r32 with this turbo set up with a t4 front wheel worht some though.

btw still ahvent fittted that turbo waiting for the ceffy to come back. also detonation could be because of a lack of fuel have you upgraded injecotrs and afm?

cheers

when will it have full boost on the RB20, and is it responsive? thanks meggala

sprint32, a smaller comp wheel, would reduce the chance of surge and also lower potential power. I went for the TO4 Vtrim as it is the biggest and highest flowing that will fit in the standard comp cover. Increasing the waste gate flow will always reduce back pressure, the trick then with the turbine housing is to not have it to small and inturn boostin to early and causing surge. The rotating mass with the ceramic turbine is very small and has extremely quick spool up. Hence why so much air has been allowed to bypass.

BOOSTED- sounds like you ahve a winer with that turbo,

after reading that after you grooved the comp cover that the surge was not present at all.

making me belive that you would be able to reduce the vg30 rear hsg from 53mm to something like 47mm & have better boost response & still not surge.

i know this question has been asked before but do you think that a std rd20 turbo could have that same mod carried out???, ofcause you need that turbo with the thick shaft.

the sr20 Turbo has a t25 flange. The Vg30 is has a t3. I am not sure about the bearing housing. The same theory could be used with a larger compressor and enlarging the waste gate and or increasing turbine clearance to increase flow and reduce spoolup to get past the compressor surge zone. The sr does not have a ceramic turbine so increasing the turbine outlet would quicky reduce spoolup hence not providing as large gains from reduced back pressure....which in turn would limit compressor size. So in other words It may not be worth the hassle with only small gains viable with acceptable lag. Only one way to find out =)

I'm just curious thats all and i didnt fully understand the exact procedure thats all. Cause i just bought a vg30 bb turbo recently so i could do these mods on it, and i was advised by garrett not to pull the turbo apart cause i might brake the exhaust turbine etc etc..

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
