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 :(

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • 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 🤣
    • 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.
