dont be too shy with the boost.

i ran 6psi through my rb25de for over 50k

i eventually swapped engine and box for the factory turbo variety not really knowing how much longer the old donk would hold up.

when the old motor came out and the head came off it was in excellent condition. i should have been more firm with it! :P

in the end i do think its just easier and cheaper to an engine swap

dont worry too much about the brakes, i stop fine now with some decent pads.

dont even waste ya time trying to turbo an rb20de - just go buy a rb20det it will be cheaper by far

cheers

Yeah for a few of you guys it may be cheaper for the engine swap....in my case it isn't :D But as you can see there has been a fair bit of success with a few people putting a turbo on the N/A without any trouble.

You'll find most of the people that say it can't be done have never looked into it or just plain don't know what they're talking about.

It's good to have people like Squizz & crooser as pioneers in this area :D

for the conversion i used a GTS Link

after swapping engines i have gone back to a factory 25det ecu (mostly coz it was a lot easier to do so to get the car running asap)

knowing what i know now, i should have just swapped injectors and used a factory 25det ecu for the conversion. (the afm and wiring loom are all the same

in the r33) that would have solved all the tuning issues/time. and if it pinged u can just retard the base timing from the cas.

the perfect mod for a 33 gts4

the perfect mod for a 33 gts4 you reckon? What prices are we talking here crooser..?

Hold the excitement! The stocko injectors are way substandard…and apparently haven’t got a hope in hell of even running at low boost! Luckily the injectors I’ve been waiting on turned up today…so at least I’ll be able to get them in tonight. The biggest problem is getting another dyno spot to turn up sometime soon….unlikely.

It is indicating however that some decent power is going to be found as I’m sure the stocko ones are the R32 turbo top-feed item :(

Will update you guys in a couple of hours after I see my car.

PS: Turbo mirage ewwwwwww

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
