ok got some results today about my car and the new turbo compared to the one here that im selling

its probably bad news for me and good news for who ever buys this turbo off me

basiacly i wasted money changing from this turbo too my new one which is a garret 3071r a tad smaller

my reason for swapping was that i thought i could get same power out of it but come on boost earlier

ok ran the car up on the dyno its not completely tuned yet but boost is still coming on almost the same ive probably picked up a few revs but not enough for my liking.....

so too all you rb20 lover's this turbo is as good as you can get for somethin making 240 - 260rwkw

and 250 - 320rwkw for an rb25

also ran up a dyno for a rb20 with similar setup with a gt 28 rs turbo and it only comes on power about 500 rpm before mine we crossed the graphs and for the difference in power you would have to be stupid not to go for the big turbo

so now that i know this im happy with my 20 it had 40rwkw more than the gt28 and came on 500rpms later

so in conclusion i should have kept this turbo ahahahah what a waste of cash

but good news for the buyer

ok here is more good news for the buyer

i got my car back 2 days ago and ive got a few things to look forward too on the dyno the curve looks very similar to my old turbs

the mechanic said that he wanted to play with it a bit thats why it took so long to tune....

he found that i was using a 12psi spring in the turbosmart wastegate and that it was starting to open at the 12psi like it should....

well this is what was causing me to boost late.......... he hasnt got one yet but he is getting me a 17psi spring start of next year...

he blocked up the wastegate to try it out and it actually made 4.5psi more at 5000 than it did before so at 5000 it had around 13.5psi once the spring is changed it will have 18psi - pretty much full boost and 2000 rpm to spare mate i was so happy to hear that.

so i probably didnt need to spend all this money and probably should have kept my other turbo but at least now i know i cant get any more out of it unless its on the bottle or race fuel.

and now everyone here knows that a gt3040 and a 3071r are very similar all the way through the curve.

now ive been the ginnea pig but its all good

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
