Rb20Det Max Power


Recommended Posts

hey guys just wonder what type of power ill get out of my rb20det with this set up

ENGINE 100% stock

- Top mount GT35 Turbo, 0.63 turbine housing, Compressor housing: A/R .70 with 100mm air inlet ( boost 3000-4000+?)

or WS-0448 Turbo

- 38mm external wastegate

- 550cc injectors

- Yellow jacket coilpacks

- NGK R Iritop 7 spark plugs

- Bosch 040 intake fuel pump

- HKS SSQV BOV Plumb back

-Z32 afm

- Big front mount

- full 3" zorst

- and a nistune.

ill be happy with 200-300kw

what RPM do you think this will start boost and reach max boost?

Will be using stock ecu for a while.

Thanks

Stock ECU - forget about anything occuring mate. Dont even wind up the boost until you get a tune.

GT35 - boost around 4,000-4,500 even with a .63, might be later. Hard to say.

You'll be lucky if you make 300rwkw on 20psi

You'll need to throw 25psi+ down it's neck to get anywhere with a 700hp turbo with a choked rear end. You'll also need a bigger exhaust for that turbo. 3" might not get you there.

All that said, you've probably realised a theme - buy something that is not a 700hp turbo for 250rwkw and be much better off for it. I think it's a very bad choice of turbo.

There are loads of better choices:

3071 - 260rwkw

TD06 - 270rwkw

HKS2530 - 230rwkw

Also forget the Iridi plugs, waste of money. Buy normal copper.

How long is a piece of string? Every motor is different, condition plays a big part if you are using a second hand motor. If you are modifying the motor then you deffintly need a aftermarket ecu!

That's quite a big turbo with a tiny rear end for a tiny motor. You'll get more investing in an RB25DET motor and a little more boost. Seriously, an RB25DET stock turbo 13 psi with a tune, pump, injectors and what not will see about 220rwkw.

Once you start getting past 220-230 rwkw with a rb20 you'll get nothing but lag, the best turbos out there ie least amount of lag for a 20 will get you 230 rwkw max, once you start chasing more that means bigger turbo = lag, and i mean piss you of annoying lag trust me. The turbo you listed will be to laggy and is more suited to a 2.5 or 3 litre.

If you have the cash invest in a 25, pretty easy to get a reliable 260-300rwkw where as a 20 is kinda to restricted for anything over 230.

I'm sunning a standard turbo highflowed and have 219 rwkw and its not to laggy, still more then standard of course but no where near as bad as say a 33 highflow. I make full boost by around 4-4.5k, i personally think around 210-230 is perfect for a 20.:thumbsup:

A hks 2535 would prob get you closer to 240 or more but unsure how it compares lag wise to the hks 2530 which is a proven winner on a 20.

I should ad that e85 could be the way to go to, theres a guy on here who got 265 rwkw from his 20 with similar turbo as mine, just he has spent a fair bit of time on rb26 inlet manifold and a few other things, but still a pretty good effort.

A proper trust TD06L2 has been proven time and time again...

If you think it is really laggy then you should not have an RB20. It is a worthwhile compromise.

If you still want it for daily duties and a little track then you can't go past the HKS 2530 option mentioned or the 2871.

    • New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
    • Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.
    • Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.
    • Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?
    • Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
