I have a GTS-R with an internal wastegated TO4E.

According to most peoples thoughts and what I have searched for on the net on my RB20DET-R it should not make full boost untill approx. 5,000rpm.

Now it is at full boost at 3550rpm. The only mods are 3inch cat back, pod and GREDDY under bonnet boost controller ( non electronic ).

It made 135kw at wheels on 0.56BAR on NIZPROS dyno.

Would it sound feasible that the previous owner modified the turbo to promote earlier boost responce?

And if so would this sacrifice the HP potential of the turbo had it not been touched?

Hi, I'm not claimimg to be in expert here - but something sounds wrong here to me.

Maybe you are not realising 'full' boost on your setup @ 3550 RPM? 0.56 bar what's that 8 PSI ? You should be able to get more than that out of the T04e - which would come on later then 3550

I've just gone thru a bit of a time consuming 'experiment' on my RB25DET. I was running a T04e compressor (.60AR) with a VG30 exhuast housing (internally gated)

At 9PSI I was getting 200rwkw - boost reached 9PSI by 3800 RPM

At 14 PSI I was getting 250 rwkw - full boost by about 4300 RPM

Max power we could get out of the turbo was 255 rwkw with boost wound up to 19 PSI - turbo started 'cavitating' (what ever the hell that means - to me it means that the turbo ran out of effeciency)

I know that out engines are different, so this only a guide.

Have you tried turning up you boost to .7 or .8 bar ?

Cheers,

The R31 RB20 has more aggressive cams according to the Tomei site, also, the problem with a term like 'full boost' is it's very arbitary.

My full boost is 1.7bar, but my turbo makes 1.2bar ar around 4150rpm.

B-man, cavitating I believe is compressor surge (reaching the surge line on the compressor map). The turbine is out of its efficiency range, I think you may find that the turbine housing/wheel is a bit small for the compressor. If you have a read of BOOSTDs thread about his $350 turbo, it may explain things a bit better. He was experiencing similar problems with his hybrid, and managed to find a few fixes.

Thanks Steve - yeah the turbo people have offered to change over the wheels, which would increase lag in the quest for more power right ? -

I'm thinking of a HKS3040 with HKS manifold too. Steve did you get my e-mails ?

Sorry FATGTS-R - i'm off topic....

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
