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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
