Ok I have the graph but no scanner but will post it up in the next few days.

Got the car back and @ 17psi it made 199.6rwkw.

makes 17psi @ 3500rpm and its an awesome ride

had it 3 days and the plugs fouled so need to replace em.

Mods are:

RB20DET

HKS 2530 + actuator

GTR Injectors

3" Dump and exaust

650x220x90mm hyperflow tube and fin cooler

hks pod

e-boost

Wolf 3d v4

The response it great and it lights the bags nicely, any questions ask away,

Also I want to take this chance to thank the following people for their help along the way.

SteveSST, Meggala, Summoner, Morgs, DoughBoy and SK. Thanks guys.

Evan

well, at first there was a problem with the coil charge the coils overheated and the car wouldnt start, so they turned the chrge down and now at anything over 17psi the car misfires because the coil isnt charged enough. Looks like i need to gut the cat and sort out that problem. However I am happy and I gotta say the 2530 is a great street turbo, any more would be overkill for the street, well in my car anyway.

im thinking about goin down the same path as you rb20-calais...xcept i want around 250rwkws is this possible with the turbo and perhaps more boost? i rekcon its awsome to have 17 psi by 3500 good work dude.

Michael

250rwkw not possible with the 2530 (a really big MAYBE if you get REALLY FAT cams and a load of head work but then i suspect you'll lose the trademark response of the turbo!!)

well, i once wanted 250rwkw as well. But its just not smart with an RB20.. for reliability and response I feel this is the best turbo to go with. If you want a lot more power you will need to upgrade the engine eventually unless you want to do things twice. Summoner has done this and had awesome reults.

250rwkw + stock RB20 = playing with fire.

Evan

Sly,

Its awesome holds 17psi all the way with my 10psi hks actuator, also the boost comes on VERY quick and i make boost below 2000rpm and it LOVES to flutter, I am very happy with it. The place who did my car did it all and the settings are 10psi, 15 and 17 ... god love SP3!!!

Thanks again I am more than happy with it!

Also Doughboy the 2530 and actuator are awesome and running like a dream together, I must say SAU has greatly benefited me in sourcing great parts off great people!

Evan

Cool bbenny, I cant wait to see!

I think the reason you made more power is because your af got to 13:1 at the top end and mine were steady 12:1.

Got new BCP6ES plugs and gapped them to 0.8mm and miss is gone but is still missing @ 17psi so i gotta regap to 0.6mm, doh!

Evan

with the 2530 (a really big MAYBE if you get REALLY FAT cams and a load of head work but then i suspect you'll lose the trademark response of the turbo!!)

There will be NO loss of response on the turbo with upgraded camshafts. In fact it does the opposite. Thats a fact jack.

in my post i was more referring to the head porting causing loss of response, as how i understand it (btw i am perfectly willing to accept i am wrong) as you port the heads for higher flow, you increase the size of the ports and therefore decrease air velocity at lower rpms which gives less response until the revs get up a bit more.

Rev i am quite happy to be corrected and i never state anything im not 100% sure of as a "fact", (i will always say i think, or i suspect, or as i understand!). Now dont take this personally as im not trying to get up you, but i find some of your responses a bit annoying, even though im pretty sure your not having a go either. I realise that you personally have done a lot of R&D for your 33 and have a lot of info to offer, maybe its just me but i sense a bit of attitude in some of your posts. My name is not jack, it just sounds a bit (ocky to me. cheers buddy :)

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
