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!

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
