I have a RB20 with internal gate TO4E and its obviously a little non street friendly.

I want to have 200-220rwkw with a max of 1.0-1.2BAR but with decent average power. My TO4E would get close to 200rwkw @ 1.0-1.2BAR but it would be asleep untill over 5,000rpm.

That doesnt sound right, i think there is another problem somewhere, if its a T04E it should be making more power then that, that is provided you have an intercooler and and exhaust on the car??? I think Clint 32 had a similar setup on his RB20 and was making 240rwkws (approx) with the usual support systems.

i made 190rwkw on stock fuel system and a t3/rb20 based highflow.

have a td06-19c now, have a dyno from old owner and 1bar doesnt arrive untill almost 5000rpm.... but it was completely shagged when i got it so that could be the reason for the lag. has a much larger garret comp wheel in it now so will be interesting what it makes when it gets on the dyno in a few weeks.

other mods now include ecu, 019 pump, gtr injectors, fmic etc, but std inlet and exh manifolds. this is the redtop so hopefully ill be able to get in the region of 230-250rwkw's running well under 1.4bar

may have to throw in some stronger bosch coils as well with the std ones not handling the 190rwkw's too well

what size cooler piping are people using at these power levels?

thanks for the info rbs13... this stuff has got me confused as a mofo can someone narrmow it down for me...ideal turbo to use on an RB20 that will get my 250 kw but i dont wana have to wait 5k+ revs for boost... is there anything out there?

Sorry, I should clarify. The turbo is only on 0.6BAR at the moment and those figures are just my estimation of what it will produce. And yes I have all the usual support systems. Also dont forget mine is an internal wastegate TO4E which would I assume make less power than an external gated model.

roy have you got a power figure yet? wanna see how she goes

The car has sat in the susp place all week :P , front springs failed for some reason, so waiting for a replacement set, as soon as new springs go in car is getting driven accross town for the cam gears, cams, valve springs and tune. So maybe mid to end next week, then a visit to Calder for a laugh :cheers:

my sr made 203 rwkw full boost 3200 rpm boost 1.2 bar

cams custom manifold some more bosot and tunig 230-250 shoud be very doable for me

thats why I went that route rather than rb 20

2530 should be very good also some of the hiflows do ok but dont spool early enough. for what you wantalso boostd's vg 30/25 hybrid turbo's work well on the rb 20 but not up to the 230 rwkw level. remeber you fuel system will run out well b4 230 rwk probalby around 200 rwkw

cheers

Meggalla,

1.2 bar for 203rwkw sounds a little dissapointing to me. When bbenny makes about that with 12psi and a stock computer. id say blow the SR. go the RB20 with the hks2530 with a proven 230rwkw available on stock internals and stock ex manifold.

just my 2c worth i know, but talking smak about rb20's being worse than Sr's well when will you learn.

well 26gts most rb20 on this dyno when they reach 195 200 rwkw are way out of fuel to give you an idea. some dyno's read high some read low the one I use reads low.

this is no pissing contest I was stating the results I made. the t518z 10cm is rated @ 420 hp. is plain bearing and does not use water lines there is no comparable turbo from hks the comparison is 2540 and 2835 . these turbos support a 180sx running deep into the 11's on a built motor no gas the development of my car has only just started the a/f's are way rich on this tune.

Please no more SR v RB talk, it makes my head hurt ;)

From what I see Meggalla's results were posted for comparison, rather than to say one is better than the other

But either way keep it up, its fun to read ;)

Meggalla,

no worries and good luck with your car development. that info was good. just thought the figure was a little low for so much boost and a turbo rated so highly. i know dynos read differently we have one in our workshop that is not dyno dynamics. i understand about the rich fuel mixtures but what was limiting more power. fuel system??

also woulld this turbo be expected to make more power on an internally standard(can include cams) rb or sr? would it not be the rb with its higher rpm capability? dont worry if theres little in it and not worth mentioning. i respect the work you are doing but just dont understand why. apart from handling/weight issues i guess

stay true(rb20),

Mic

the rb has its place and like chris said I really dont want this to be an rb v sr thread.

I went for the sr casue of the torque that the sr has down lowa nd the off boost responsiveness to me and mind you I have had several rb 20's I find the development curve of the rb 20 is dated there is no ongoing development in japan. where as the sr is going great guns here in japan and also the us plus you need to only by 4 of every thing not 6, injectors are off the shelf etc.

I looked seriously at building a tough rb 20 I even have one sitting around and decided against it due to cost. not much cheaper than doing a full build on an rb 25 or 26. plus the lag etc up to 200 rwkw I think there isnt much better thanthe rb 20 . my power goal is 240-250 rwkw with this turbo I should get there.

one thing I have found the sr' 20's handle sustained high boost better than rb 20's that could be because the rb's are older not sure

as for this turbo it was designed for the sr not the rb 20 I just threw my 2 cents worth. on the sr they quote 270 rwkw probably with cams and custom manifold. jms claimed 300rwkw with the smaller version on their black afrkkana 180.

cheers

well i have a 2530 on my RB20 and im making 290rwhp at 0.9-1bar the engine cuts if i run anymore boost i think its maxing the AFM. (completely stock computer too) im throwing in some GTR cams and adj cam gears with a re-chip for the ECU. i hope to make 330rwhp, any more and i will be very happy. i dont want to run anything higher than 1.2bar to make it. this is my everyday driver, so it has to be reliable. the response of the 2530 is great. and mid range and top end seem to be awesome, i dont think it will run out of puff at under 1.2bar.

ill post the results when its done.

so as i take it the 2530 is a good turbo for 350whp?

or should i go for a slightly larger turbo?

I'd maybe look at a 2535 or even 2835ProS, both should be efficient at around 250rwkw

Might be a bit too big of a ask for a 2530, but I guess until someone tries it, we wont know :(

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
