Hey guys I have an r32 with an rb20det. Ive had it for about 5 months now and has the following mods

rb25 turbo (steel wheeled by Steve murch)

z32 afm 

gtr injectors 

walbro pump 

turbosmart fuel reg 

frount mount

allloy intake pipe 

waste spark setup 

3.5"exhaust 

stainless dump pipe 

38mm tial waste gate 

chipped ecu

A/c removed

Turbosmart boost controller

Its currently running 14psi and full boost doesn't come on till 5500rpm but pulls hard all the way to the redline which is too much lag for my liking. Any ideas on why it is so laggy?

Any help would be appreciated

Yeah I got the car like that. Yup im guessing it was chipped for everything by the previous owner.

Yeah got a screamer but yeah the wastegate is opening properly.

I'm not sure if it's been high flowed but my mate has a standard 25det turbo and my exhaust side is different to his so yes maybe?

Check to make sure gate and any where else arn't leaking first.

Rb20det don't have VCT and turbo selection needs to be treated same as a S13 SR20det. So those mediocre high flows that felt just alright on an Rb25det will drive laggy as hell on an Rb20det.

Rb20det high flow profiles are very different to Rb25dets.

Get another dead or alive RB25det turbo, we can high flow it to factory alike response with possibly more power.

oh that would be mean. How much would that cost?

oh and found out why it was so laggy.. i replaced my 25det turbo with a 20det turbo and noticed how heavy the wheel was of my steel wheel 25det turbo. it hardly spun compared to my mates standard 25det turbo.

now boost comes on ALOT earlier almost no lagg but i miss the pull of the 25det turbo..

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
