Little update:

This is sent in from a member. Using an ATR43SS1 (none PU version) on a stock RB20det with usual mods. Car made 227rwkws on 18psi. Green is final tune, and Yellow is his previous tune on stock turbo. Running pump 98 fuel.

That would be making close to 300kw at the flywheel, not bad for 2.0L engine.

I wonder what sort of improvement could be made between 2-4000 RPM with different cams and adjustable cogs? Would Poncams help down there, or would they only benefit the top end?

you might be able to move it slightly with cams and/or adjustable cam gears but you cant escape the fact its a 2L engine and you have a turbo capable of flowing 250rwkw. Its the same thing on an RB25 that its very hard to make 300rwkw on 98 fuel with full boost much before 4000rpm. If you want more power between 2-4000rpm on an RB20 then either increase capacity of the engine or get a smaller turbo and accept less top end power.

You can't have your cake and eat it too...

That's the choice I'll have to make in about 6 months, but as my car won't be doing any track work the decision is easier to make, still the lure of 300hp at the wheels is very tempting.

It might not be impossible, I have a stock RB20 turbo highflowed by Hypergear .... it was on the dyno the other night, we hit a misfire and have to go back today, but it's looking promising ....

Been told by the tuner the yellow line was what the car had on stock turbo after it was tuned. It was back for return after new turbo was installed, Blue line was the SS1 on a lower boost and Green was final tune on 18psi.

That turbo had about the same response as a stock 21U turbo on a Rb25det.

i reckon it had a rb25 turbo on it.

Yeah you mentioned it in another thread, I'm very keen to see your results, manifold pressure v rpm. My RB20 is mated to a auto trannie so any lag is double trouble for me, to be honest if I could make 160kw at the wheels without any extra lag I would be happy, if it comes on boost earlier than stock I would be over the moon.

Just got back from getting it tuned, when the timing got advanced it started pinging so had to stop at 201rwkw @ 20psi, will be posting in the RB20 thread :)

Not bad for rb20 high flow. Did you end up making a 3inch metal intake pipe or was that still with factory rubber pipe?

Some update for the ATR43SS3.

This is the first dual gated turbo I've designed. It can run either internal or external gate or both. The internal gate setup is more of a road legal counter measure.

Did couple of runs. The turbo made very wide and spread of torque with very linear power that I was hopping for. my re-engineered external gate also worked brilliantly. How ever I'm 50kws short. Looks like the turbine housing is maxed out causing restrictions.

I’ve measured the screamer pipe wrong and made it slightly short. So I had to fit it upside down lol. I’ve attached videos for couple of runs for amusement (notice the flame shooting out of my engine bay).

I’ll be remaking a larger housing for this core in about a week and see how it goes.

any more development on this turbo? thats about the best 300rwkws any one's every made on pump. Can you run this core into my current high flow?

Cheers for that Chris, much appreciated.

Was with a 3 inch metal pipe using the silicone pipe that was in it as joiners, but eliminating the flexi curved bit that would suck shut. I was hoping for a little more, but really the smaller turbo is a worthwhile sacrifice for street driving, spools up a lot faster this way I am sure.

No Worries :)

i was very impressed with the way the highflow drove. Power delivery was very strong.

Peaked to 20 but held 18.5 to redline

Make a full 3inch intake pipe from turbo outlet to pod. That allows turbo drawning air lot easier, faster response, more torque, and stops pinning at certain timing as EGT rises when greater engergy is required forcing turbine spinning.

Give that a shot when free, In theory the internals of that high flow should handel some where upto 230rwkws on a Rb20det.

Peaked to 20 but held 18.5 to redline. Which is how i set it

Jez couldn't push the motor too hard, it was starting to ping when he advanced the timing, but he'll know more about that than me, so I'm not sure that my motor has that much in it with that turbo, but it hauls arse now so I'm pretty happy :D

It does drive really nicely, and it's nice to have a boost controller that allows me to change it up as well! Feels great, drives awesome!

Where did you get this intake pipe? I need a few my self.

In this case not sure if by using high pressure actuator holding more boost uptop would gain abit more kws, but that would be about the limit from high flowing a R32 GTT turbo.

That is a tipical high mount ext gated turbo good for running E85 with (above result was on 98). not suitable for high flowing. But let me know if you want to go down that path.

Good intake pipes aye. The 3 inch metal pipe fits snug inside it so not restricting it.

I Can supply if u like

There was no issue's with holding boost. Just how i set it up with the boost controll. Car feels like more than 200kw on the road.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
