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 :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
