A Boy's Love For His Rb20


Recommended Posts

Hey, i have two sets of semis...RE55s and AO50s to back to back. Car is doing every track day it can...working in Brisbane is going to pose a few problems but will be doing 6-10 track days this year no problem. This has all been a result of trying to get a bit more from the std motor. It has been a case of dead money but its not stopping me from entering track days... the biggest problem is the track calender has dried up :( WRX not doing any PI days, no Sandown to later in the year. Maserati deciding to do their PI day the other week on a Friday.

So the opportunity has not been there to giv eit a blast :( And this bolt on exercise has done nothing to help motivation :)

So which of the two semis do you reckon is better? Not that a semi of any sort is good for anything much, but I digress.

Yeh I am up in Brissie 4-5 weekdays and when things get sorted will spend some weekends up there, but at the moment we are in the design phase so have to be between two states.

I am working in Virginia and staying in Redcliffe, though may move back to the city when things quieten down a little

Someone needs to point me in the direction of who runs days at Lakeside and I need to get my car up there

Will get in touch when work settles down. In the meantime some filing of faces after finding some inlet leaks and some further tweaking of tune checking colour of plugs etc and almost as good as before plenum wjich is something I guess. Still no improvent, but now looks like I can live with it

shame about the plenum, thought it might have brought some benefits.

I'm also keen to develop my RB20 rather than drop in an RB25, I agree that the 20 can make enough power/torque to overpower a RWD chassis, and they're tough!

Your setup seemed quite responsive on that track video, I'm impressed for such a large turbo, making me reconsider going for something smaller like a gt25/30

Well Russman on the forum has a quick GTSt and runs a 2530, when we drive each others cars there really us not a lot of difference in response. Of course the 2530 is punchier but does not the same top end...but end result is a about the same

Time attack calender for qr and lakeside roy.

A good way to hook up with most of the qld crowd as a good percentage of them participate in this series.

You owe it to yourself to try and squeeze some track time up at morgan park as well. A great track

    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
