Ok soi bought this thing from melbourne auctions , hail damaged (for those of you who don't know me , i have a bit of a habit for buying cars randomly ) Anyway , i planned origionally on making it pretty and using it as a daily (i have other cars i planned on using for track , they have their own threads on other sections in this forum) but upon pickingit up it was alot rougher than i expected , so it has sat in my garage while i decided what to do with it. Here are the specs as it was picked up (or as it sits)

Rb20det

5spd

hd clutch of some sort

3in exhaust (with stock cat converter :P )

almost blown 25 turbo (it touches the housings by the sound of it)

hicas lock

sunroof (for those sunny tassie days)

a couple gauges

boost tee

walbro f/pump

ohlins front coilovers

My plans for the car now are basically , register it then go to as many track/drift/hill climbs as the car can handle (or i can afford! )

parts i have accumulated to date:

td05-16g

fmic

buddy club p1 (bronze)

rack spacers

hsd coilovers

gtr front bar

m - side skirts

parts i will be accumulating:

nistune

injectors

z32 afm

de-cat pipe (for track ofcourse)

shim diff or 2-way (i have shims , but yet to decide if a cbf putting them in over a 2nd hand 2way)

roll cage (bond or if anyone knows of something better)

once rego is passed , it will be put on a big diet , but i will update as it goes :)

pics: (pics are coming , i will edit

Yeah mate , people tell me i have a problem , i don't see it :P . What would be a good site for uploading pics so i can put them on here? . Out of curiosity justin , what do you think one of those td05 will be like on a 20? were they laggy on your 26??

Yeah but im looking for response , i know keeping the 20 isn't the wisest choice but i want something i can learn in before chasing big power , once im confident with ~200-220 ish rwk i plan on moving to rb26 with probably a t67 or 3076 and chase 350rwk once im comfortable with the car , it will be running on e85 as soon as i find/afford suitable injectors etc too :) but that won't be for a lil while

nah course not?, better than the ceffy though?,

speaking of which dont sell them till i get cash!!!!!!!

the way i see it , if i can get 67.5s at Basky in a 1400kg car with 100~rwk , i should be able to get 63ish around there with a 1200kg car with 200rwk ? . Nah the ceff is a heap nicer car , maybe a little heavier but much better quality :) . Which brings of to my updates , my new coilovers have arrived and a new front window is organised to be put in Wednesday and i have a few other goodies to fit , pics soon!

Small update , replaced turbo with another 25 turbo for the minute whilst i decide what im doing with the setup , im thinking of pinching the setup off my cefiro since it's not likely to see the track again . Put a new windscreen in it , all i need now is tyres and a bonnet for rego , then the mods will begin! I may have a half cage for it too pending . One thing i have noticed is that the rear wheels sit off to one side about 2cm , not sure what's going on there

the laurel does that now.

in all the reading i did on turbos, i came up with a 20 will be laggy no matter what, so you may as well match the turbo to the top end.

Ooh not a good sign , that car lined up very well when i had it . Atleast it has adjustable arms under it . Turbo choice for a 20 is fairly simple but most people stuff around with other things that don't need to be , best results from rb20 are with simple setups, i.e , a good exhaust manifold , cam gears , cooler , pump , injectors and a decent tuner . Most people try to put too big of a turbo on them and they just can't flow enough air to keep them on full boost , td05 16g would be too small for track , i would predict near stock response with similar power to a standard r33 turbo , maybe a little bit more , more suited to a ca18 really , td06 would be slightly laggy for street but days of fun on the track

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
