even with all the issues its looking good man.. :thumbsup:

Ed..just realize you tuned on eflex, Im hoping to make that power on PULP at around 18psi..

just wondering did u use the water lines from the kit and just join them up to some rubber hose as well...its a dodgey setup and i had a time actually getting the fittings to stay tight on the turbo..Im hoping heat will maybe fuse them in place somehow..lol

I always use braided lines, i remove the standard metal part of the coolant pipe from around the back of the head, cut it and get a fitting brazed on. Then i can connect my braided line to it and then refit the metal pipe back into the stock rubber hose behind the head.

This way has always worked well on rb25's but rb20's have a 2 metal brackets behind the head and can be extremely hard to remove

That's an awesome result man. Once you get a decent sized gate on it and wind some boost in youll be laughing.

I think most of these guys havent realised that the turbo should be nowhere near its peak efficiency yet. Not using VCT would be a total bummer and robbing you of response, your boosting it between 11 and 15 psi when they want over 18 to even roll out of bed and your using a mainline dyno which tend to be heart breakers in terms of power.

I think on the right boost it would easily match those figures on 98, given the above. You should have pioneered a 98 tune before you hit teh flexxx. Im about to SMS you too.

Nice result, though the max flow a 20G will give is not a lot over 18psi - I'd not be too surprised if the turbo starts getting way out of efficiency trying to push more boost than that on an RB25, no doubt the E70 will give a bit of headroom for making some more power despite that though. If you've seen cars make more going higher its probably more than the engines need the boost, than the 20G itself.

Will be very interesting to see how it goes with the boost wound up a bit more and the misfire solved, there should be a fair bit more than that to be got yet :)

VCT is disabled in my car so hopefully it doesn't kill too much response.

full boost by 4000-43000 is acceptable :D

very good results so far Jez, i am assured i made the right turbo choice.

i rekon at 20psi, ill pull around 280rwkw and i'll be happy.

try with a lower PSI spring and a better boost controller.

i had this issue with boost not holding on a 38mm turbosmart, installed the 7psi and EBC and all was sweet.

Ebc is Probably needed but its a very low budget car just to show with the right choices what results can be made.

Lithium u are probably right, tho im gonna try 18-20psi anyway :D

Even before i tuned this car properly i could tell by testing it at home that this turbo and combo was impressive. For it to light 3rd gear up without full throttle i was very impressed

SimonR32...care to step in and help out with the wheelspin in 3rd gear AWESOMENESS :)

Great result. Hurry up and give the thing a belly full of boost as I am curious to see what the 20G compressor can flow on E70

Fixed

Thats what this car is built for. Skids

Haha Roy, you are onto it :)

DVS JEZ have a look at my build thread about subframe alignment play around to get power down better.

I think this is a average result but shows a lot of potential when the boost and misfire are fixed... I'm tipping 325rwkw with 15psi in 4th gear on the road at 3200rpm :thumbsup:

Nice. Ill get the vtc sorted too. This car isnt going to be registered so its abit hard to do any on road testing. Ill post up some vids from thursday trackday.

I have a R32 GTR rear cradle but i cant be stuffed to fit it with offset bushes etc. Just wanna drive it.

Great result so far, looking very interesting. My SS1 made 244rwkw on 98 fuel and 279rwkw on Caltex Eflex so everyone can get a rough idea that it would be around 250rwkw on 98 fuel in its current setup. Keen to see what it does with everything sorted!

    • No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.
    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
