A RB25 powered GTS4 circuit car running a .82a/r R595 - I didn't really mention that because the car does circuit racing, not time attack but actual laps and laps of racing on stock bottom end and 98 octane so I wasn't really squeezing out it's full flow potential on the dyno... everything was done to ensure he could rely on it for laps on end.   It made ~295kw @ hubs on 98 octane at around 16psi, hitting target by around 4000rpm.

Another was an R545 with a .82a/r housing on a Honda F20B engine (2litre twin cam VTEC, a bit like a destroked H22A) in a Honda Accord.  That only had ~540cc injectors so was not making big power either, but was making good boost by 4000rpm - again another one I never got specific on because the turbo clearly had plenty of flow to spare, the power figure (just over 200kw @ hubs on ~10psi) wasn't going to do it justice.

thanks for the reply mate.  i was looking at either the r595 or r545 for an unopened sr on 98 with around 18-20psi down its throat.  i like the 59/59 r595 wheel match a bit better than the 54/59 r545, but it would be fairly laggy id imagine.

What power are you aiming for, with what fuel etc?  Stock cams?   One of the things I tune has been running a Kinugawa TD05-16G6 with the 3" intake (TD06 style compressor) for the last few years - completely stock internals (including cams), and flex fuel on up to 20psi. Honestly, it is an amazing match imho.    I know it's not a Masterpower, but it works so well I don't know why you'd go for something different - especially if you are running with an external gate.  The thing can hit 20psi+ at around 3000rpm in higher gears, and has trapped at around 120mph in the 1/4 mile - is pretty rapid.

as above,  around 18-98 on pump 98 fuel.  unopened so yeah stock cams.  e85 is only available at a couple pumps in perth so im not really looking to go down that route.  my old car did 119-120mph passes id be pretty happy with that haha.  350rwhp would be nice,  so whats that around 280rwkw or there abouts?  makes 270rwhp on a disco pot at the moment and 110mph. and yes will be external gate.

Hang on - you are running a discopotato on 20psi already?   

I'm kind of inclined to think that there probably isn't a huge amount of point in upgrading the turbo and running 18-20psi without doing cams, the cams are potentially the limiting factor in your setup at the moment I'd have thought.    280kw @ wheels on 20psi with pump gas on stock cams sounds pretty optimistic, regardless of what turbo you use.

I guess I haven't had HEAPS to do with SR20s, but they seem like they aren't that great on stock cams - at least from what I've seen so far a GT3076R would be a waste as you'd make well short of what they are capable of on 20psi but get heaps more lag.   For what it's worth, even with the 16G on 20psi the turbo seems to have more flow available

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
