Any ideas on prices for them? I've had this rb20det in my silvia for under 3 months, the turbo is about to pack it in and the installation people don't want to know about it. I need an upgrade for less than a $1000 so i was thinking if the T4 was too laggy then a series 2 r33 turbo with the steal wheel would be an alright idea. I'll get some stats on the turbo tonight as the guy is giving me the info tonight. THanks heaps for the tips though!!!

Cheers

Hey mase, what do you mean about to pack in it. Is it making noises, what sort. Cause my turbo's been very noisy since day one and havn't had a problem.

But if you're after an rb25 turbo, i know a guy that's got one for sale in brisbane, around the 500 mark, in good nic, was gunna put it in his rb20 silvia but is now selling the car so doesn't need the turbo or gtr cooler.

Hey birty, what basically happend was I bought a bleed valve off the people who supplied my front cut, the bleed valve didn't work with my car and kept trying to go all the way to 1 bar but it hit fuel cut beforehand. Tried various testing and took it back to the mechanics and they found it did not work either with another turbosmart bleed valve. Since that session of testing it has been starting to whine on minimum revs until it starts to spool and then you can't hear it obviously because of the spooling.

Birty, any info on this turbo for sale???

Thanks

it'll be laggy and all.

but look into things like cams and that to bring it on earlier :)

I've got a t04e on a 25... and it hits around the 4300 mark.

SO i'll look into cams and stuff to maybe get it down to around the 4000rpm, or maybe even earlier ?? Just gotta play with options.

Also, i hear EBC's can bring a turb on a bit earlier?

any truth to that

Not really.. I had my bleeder that felt like it brought boost on harder and quicker with less throttle.

The EBC seems to come on smoother and is 100% accurate where as the bleeder used to spike a little possibly giving the feeling of it coming on harder than the ebc.

When first fitting the EBC over the bleeder i was dissapointed as it felt slower.

Maybe with a big turbo it may bring the turbo on sooner but with the standard it didnt :D

Well with the Blitz SBC-iD I have it didn't.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
