Hey guys. I'm just wondering where I should go from here. Recently got my car's camber adjusted so she handles really well now and I'm thinking...more power...

I've got...

Rebuilt RB20DET (metal gaskets, closed and honed, stock internals)

Turbo back performance exhaust with high flow cat

FMIC

GReddy Dump Pipe

Sard 550cc Injectors

Splitfire coil packs

Z32 AFM

Cold air intake

Garret GT28R turbo on 18psi

GReddy Profec B Spec II

Apexi TT

Remapped ECU (stock)

Front strut brace

Ideas for the next mod would be awesome.

In all seriousness, without seeing a dyno sheet to see what state the tune is in it is hard to say.

It could be running really well and making great power and maxing the turbo therefore a logical power increase would be a larger turbo.

On the other hand it could be making horrible power with a terrible boost curve which in that case attention needs to be put into sorting out the problems.

Got a dyno sheet and power figure?

True that mate.

I've got her going in next Wednesday for a power run and tune. I'll PM you the sheet next week and see what you reckon.

Obviously the boys at XSpeed will give me their oppinion but would be great to get a second opp.

You've already stated in another thread that your RB20 dusts GTRs anyway, so I'd leave it at that.

Go buy a Honda CBR900 then work on modifying that till it's as quick as your RB20

Yeah or I could dust your mum off and thrash her til she sounds like an rb20.

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
