if i were you.. when its nice and cold then turn the wick up :D sorry if what i said seemed rude n that.. i guess the rb25 compression would help. as long as your happy with it thats all that counts. and by me reading all this i know what to exepect when i go to purchase my turbo etc.. so thanks for posting results and letting us know how it goes etc.. does it wheelspin in 3rd, 4th? hehe..

Guys the mechanic said the at the peak power (Power rais) i had wheel spin. he usually use the 4th gear to test the max power. :)

I am very happy with it. and im ganna boost the car up to maximum 20 psi just for a try at the Eastern creeck ..

results later..

Roy,

 

Does it make power up near 8000rpm? or just flatten out and slowly drop off?

Yeh ive been running around at 1.0bar a bit and its still revving and pulling nicely at those revs. I need to get it the track where i can wind out 3rd and 4th gears, on the street at 1.0bar 1st and 2nd gears is all i can use, kind of :Oops:

For the street i think 200-220rwkws is more then enough i doubt i have much more then that and its all i will ever need. :D

RBsileighty-  Im running a full exhaust system :( I NEED IT ;)

Now that I cleared up that full exhaust includes a cat in the PM (not always sure on slang when we are dealing with two countries), I wonder how much power that cat is holding back at that power level? We don't have emissions testing or visual inspection where I am!!!

The full exhaust systems usually increase around 20 kw from stock standard.

By the way my mistake guys.. my turbo kicks in at 3200 RPM. coz i thought wen u start getting stock to the seat its wen boost comes in. but i checked with my friends its actually wen the gauge shows 1 psi the rev is on 3200 and i have the full boost on 4900 right to 7500-8000 RPM.. but it goes very quick. specially wn im using 17psi... And i also asked my mechanic about boosting up to 20 psi . he shook his head and said i need a spark booster. which i put it in my next upgrade (major) in cluding RB20+forged pistons+crank shafts+the booster = 400+ rwhp.

With my setup atm i think ill run around 12.7-1299 ( hopefully) coz other user told me he did 12.99 mith his r33 with 206 rwkw. but i got 215.4rwkw, so fingers crossed. as long as i get the power to the ground. thats all maters and a good start.

So sorry for the confusion guys.

Regards,

That is great to hear that boost comes on so early. Looks like I might be copying your setup more or less bud, as 400rwhp is my goal!

How would a GT30R .60 A/R or a GT35R .70 A/R (these are the standard a/r's i've seen for these turbos) compare with the 3040? These turbos are easier to come across around here.

Wow... I couldn't handle lag where only 1psi is made at 3200rpm.

My plan is to have it all in by at least 3500rpm making around 400rwhp.

Also.. I would start looking for another mechanic if he is telling you that you need a spark booster. Gap the plugs down and slap a cooler plug to suit the power you are making.

You will only be making 400rwhp which can be done easily with the stock coils.

Clint32 made 243rwkw with a TO4 (bush bearing, full boost some where around 5000rpm) 17-18psi from memory on the stock coils, injectors, remapped ecu. He ran a 12.8 1/4 @ AIR.

Joel, you will need nitrous for "My plan is to have it all in by at least 3500rpm making around 400rwhp" from the rb20, otherwise you will need a car with more cubes. My rb25 waS making that at over 4000rpm. Cant see how a smaller engine will do. Its just not do-able on rb20.

Hi guys, I am getting very tired of this spark thing, where inexperienced Skyline tuners say that you need some sort of spark improving device way too early in the development. We have a perfectly sparking RB26 running to 9,000 rpm that makes over 600 bhp at 1.8 bar on the standard coils and ignitor.

My rule of thumb is pretty simple, if the car is running a standard ECU or Power FC then the standard coils and ignitor are fine. When we need to go to a Motec ECU, then I use the Motec CDI and Mercury outboard coils. It's an expensive solution, but I have yet to find anything else that gives a guaranteed improvement over the standard set up.

Bottom line, as Joel said, don't waste your money MRPREZ.

    • 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 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
