Nah, that's rubbish. It's not boost that blows apart motors, it's timing and or torque.

I "had" a 300 000+ motor running with 1.8bar worth of boost for a good amount of time and thrashed regularly at the track too. It died about 3 years later lol

Lol good to know.

Ok thanks for the input. I'll chat through the options with Tao and see where I land.

Edit: Was that standard internals Dose? I'm running all standard including HG :P

Completely standard internals, even the OEM head gasket. However I did have some coolant being pushed out so I installed new ARP head studs as a band aid solution. 

Damage was already done, but the motor lasted another year of heavy track abuse, left plenty of mental shavings in the sump too! But yeah 18psi, street use with the occasional drag strip will last ages if you tuner has a clue about tuning :)

Hey guys.

Just wondering who here has experience with the standard "G2" high flow and what your real world results were?

Cheers!

G2 is engineered to work with stock ecu and injectors. You can still get over 240rwkws with it on decent mods and more boost. Dyno below shown customers result of 222rwkws maxing factory injectors on 13psi.

My Rb20det is hitting a brick wall at 215rwkws. I've installed the best possible mods to not cause any flow restrictions, and it doesn't like to make power. So far I've dynoed turbos in equivalents of: GT2871, GTX2864, GT3071, GT3076. and the most power it would make was 215rwkws with a 3076 equivalent. I've also spent alot of timing fixing the car and made sure all components runs correctly. Be aware of Ebay cam gears, Mine "0" degrees out of so called "HKS" brand is actually -5.  

Car's a GTS4. shown 188,000KMs, but drives solid. Silver top engine. The power band sort of falls into range of Rb20det P98 figures out of Trent's dyno. There are few odd ones that made pretty high power for the turbo size, I'm curious to know if its because their engines are healthier or if it had some sort of cams / head upgraded in their long years of running.

For some odd reasons RB20dets doesn't like timing in mid range. Mine's down to 6 degrees around 4000RPM, but happy taking 13 degrees up top when there is 20psi of boost making the car feel torque less down low.  E85 fixes that problem, and shift the whole power curve 1000RPM to the left with heaps more up top. 

At moment I'm fitting up a set of Kenford cams. I hope this will make a difference to power and I don't think there are anything else that I can do other wise.

Should hold a timing gun when it's load held on the dyno, see if the timing isn't fluctuating due to a bad cas or timing belt deflection. 

^^ agreed. I had a bad Cas that fluctuated like this at every RPM and wouldn't take much timing and miss fired at 18psi. Adjusted belt several times but problem remained. 2nd hand CAS fixed it

What you need to do is say at X load and Y RPM, make all the surround areas all 10 degrees of timing.. then load hold the dyno at roughly that RPM and that load point/area then shine a timing gun at the motor and see if it's showing the same timing as per prescribed at on the timing map.

Another possible thing that "may" have happened, check the woodruff key on the crank. It might have snapped off and both your cams vs. crank is off. I have seen it happen with my own eyes on a SR I worked on.

Can't say about other RB20 but mine loves timing, at 13psi he's given mid 30's up top, and when I had a functioning boost controller he was mid 20's at 20psi on PULP98.

How would the harmmonic balancer be driving still if no woodruff key? I am confuse

Cars at Seven Auto motive to get those cams in, will keep everyone updated once its running.

I will keep this post upated with my FB updates. fist our team took winning trophy on Vic time attack 1.35.27 last week. footage:

 

 

Mr Oversteer was ranked 3rd this time due to Alternator problems:

In case you were curious, after speaking with Toshi (who was ultra conservative, and against the G3 @ 18psi on my engine) and Tao, we came up with a hybrid that was halfway between a G2 and G3 high flow. It's going to have a larger compressor wheel than a G2 but use an OEM wastegate.

The reasoning was that I didn't want to have the bigger turbo with such a high minimum boost pressure on my daily. Adding to this, my goal was rather conservative, aiming for a responsive 240rwkw+ on P98.

I have a feeling I'll regret not going bigger in future haha but for now I'm sure this will be fine :12_slight_smile: I also trust Toshi's judgement :1310_thumbsup_tone1:

Many ways to skin a cat, Toshi likes to tune with loads of timing, loads of fuel but not too much boost. He takes the "let's throw in heaps of fuel so it won't knock" approach - which is completely fine however in the event IATs increase or you use a bad batch of fuel things can end in unfavourable ways.

Yeah gotcha.

Well I won't get everything on and tuned for about a month (stupid busy at work atm sadly) but I'll post here when it's done, we'll see how we go :)

Which is reliable? Increasing boost or add timing/fuel or a little bit of both?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
