I am told that the new hiflowed turbo they do for around $1800 is equivelant to a GT3040

See the posts by B-man, he had a GCG rebuilt turbo that was meant to be a rough generic equiv to a 3040. It made great power up to 250rwks with a wack of boost...but then bolted on a HKS (ok so different to Garret but...) and got an extra 50-75rwks, so i dont think it is really an equivelant.

Good power, but 3040 power maybe falls a bit short... check B-mans posts

What sort of boost response would the 450 HP highflow have on an RB20DET?

I dont have a stage 1 but i have a stage two on RB20 with no tuning so you can atleast get an indication.

Mine starts to gradually build boost from about 3k, has 5psi by 4k, hits 7 by 4200 and then rockets to 11psi (i haven't upgraded fuel yet so am pegging it there at the moment) I have exhaust, cooler and pod.

It's a fair bet that the stage 1 will make good boost slightly earlier than this and the boost response will be less peaky.

Thats a very unresponsive turbo. I can get 1 bar by 4000rpm with a 600hp GT30 Garrett.

With regard to the GT3040 comment as i said is was told it was close to a GT3040 in one conversation and in a later conversation they said it was close to a GT3530???

BHDave how long ago was it that you got your stage 2?? Have you got a turbo from a RB25DET and bolted it to your RB20DET?? When i talked to GCG they said that the reason they didnt push the stage two is the reason yours is so laggy (i am guessing). They said as per SeriesIIGTST's post on page one that all those mods where necessary to get enough air flowing to booth spool the turbo and not restrict the flow of the air it is compressing otherwise it would be laggy.

I got mine second hand and it was about 4months old at the time, probably closer to 7months old now. Came off an sr20 actually. I'd killed my turbo and it came up for a good price so i got it as a bit of a stop gap.

Id reckon they may also run into surge problems on the rb20 due to the engine not being able to flow as much as the rb25 though i haven't got to that stage yet. Gimme a couple of months.

They will say anything to sell a product!! Have u seen the size of a 3040??? The stock turbo is half the size.

The high flow is so laggy coz u r still using the stock cast manifold which is a piece of shit!!

but the highflow std turbo is still a pretty small turbo, i wouldnt think that the stock exhaust manifold is too bad for such a turbo. My 2530 is roughly equivalent in size to a highflow stock turbo, and there is pretty much no lag.

I can understand on big phat turbos like 3040's that an aftermarket exh manifold would help, but im not so sure its worth the money on small GT25's or highflow standards???

I'm in agreement with Inasnt on the advantages of the A/M manifold.

Even on a small turbo the improved flow of the new manifold will give a reasonable gain.

Only problem with getting a decent manifold on an RB that I see is that the turbo will have to be moved from it's stock location in order to get a decent manifold in there so you will need custom oil & coolant lines, intake pipe and dump.

Not a huge problem, but enough of a pain in the arse that i'm leaving it for a while longer (it also has something to do with not having enough cash to do what i want when i want) :(

Which is why you port match the manifold to the head and the turbo and then have it power ported to remove the shit you cant get to. this drops the zorst temps down 40deg. having the exhaust housing done also help with efficiency.

watch the boost rise though!!!

sorry but i am a big believer in power porting

some ppl can't afford big turbos and A/M manifolds. been down that route.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
