unsure on the specifics of the fuel pump, but i know its a walbro fuel pump. i'll try find out more info when i ring previous owner later on today.

where is "The speed lab" located as im in norther adelaide. but will travel if its worth it.

bloody hell all this turbo jap car business is confusing.

ive got a hypergear rebuild in my car, and i cant fault it.

alternatively, japanese import spares have a 2530 to suit an rb for under $1000.

they also have nismo 550's for $240 each if you cant be f**ked waiting. but its easy to find injectors for much cheaper.

jeff (speed lab) tends to work out of turbotune on the other side of town. and actually, this turbo jap car stuff is pretty straight forward. dont have to pull half your engine (and half your car) apart to change a cam. ;)

if its a "500HP" pump, it will be fine.

Last I heard Jeff was working out of a place at Pooraka.

Takes just under 2 weeks from the time I recieve money, but I can supply 555cc injectors for an rb20 for under $400 (set of 6)

Am expecting injectors for Dark.Sky and MattyR31 this week and injectors for DSTROY next week.

-D

on the topic of injectors, i noted a certain united in the pt adelaide area advertising E85? if its gonna hit hard this time i may consider changing over.

+1 If it becomes more widely availible I might look into it.

fair enough.

bah, stupid rb's and their crappy ceramic turbines. get a highflow, then smash 16 psi. easy. :(

My old 32 ran 16psi day in day out on an R33 turbo and didn't miss a beat, and you saw how harshly that was treated Dave :wave:

lol. that thing was flogged hard. but it was also 2 steps away from being a missile car. fairly sure this guy wants his to stay in one piece! :wave:

That may be so, but my main point was the R33 turbos can handle a bit of abuse :P

If it was my car I'd go front mount, decent exhaust (turbo back 3inch with no cat), fuel pump and run boost around 14psi. Turbo should handle it, injectors might be pushed but everything should hold together and make near enough to 200 @ the wheels and would still be responsive. Would be good fun for a bit till you get used to it and want more :(

R33 turbos on a RB20 arent put under the same heat and load hence why you can boost it to 16psi

i ran my RB25det to 14psi for about a year before she went bang and didn't properly go bang just made a little noise i recon better oil may have not done that too AFR's wont stop your ceramic wheel going pop

possibly best route

Garret 3076

Injectors 555 if you not going to entertain the idea of E85 or else 700+

PowerFc if your real keen or else speak to Shaun @ boostworx for a VG30dett ECU conversion

get rid of the walbo and get a bosch

and

Z32 AFM

tune to 18psi and let the fun begin can go higher if detonation is low tunner will know how much you can go

+1 this dude knows his stuff

-D

possibly best route

Garret 3076 - Got

Injectors 555 if you not going to entertain the idea of E85 or else 700+ - Got Nismo 740cc

PowerFc if your real keen or else speak to Shaun @ boostworx for a VG30dett ECU conversion - Using a Haltech

get rid of the walbo and get a bosch - Using a Bosch 040

and

Z32 AFM - Dont have as I am using MAP sensor

That is a very good combo, i am running 15psi and making 265rwkw. If you are wanting to retain more of your response i would suggest a hiflow or the 0.6 a/r for the GT3076 turbo. I am running a 0.82 a/r, a little bit laggy, but boost hits nice and hard :P.

Maybe also replace coilpacks with either Yellowjacket/Splitfire/Superspark, depends on what condition your stock ones are in.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
