That Kando housing is poo based on the many results of those that tried to use them...plus a quick look at the wastegate gases path

In what way? Needed a little wastegate porting but after that it performs excellently, well at least the T25 version does an I expect it would be virtually identical!?

Power and boost from the T25 version of the exact same turbo on an SR if you didn't see it in the Kando thread

Have a good look at the Kando T3 housings. Theya re nothign alike the T25 housings. They are the sme as the woeful internal gate Trust housings from that era :(

Back in 2003 when I threw my TD06 on the RB20 every result was with the internal gate version of that turbo, inc on RB25s. If it wasnt for my mate telling me to trust him I would never have tried it...as the results of the internal gate vs external gate have always been chalk and cheese

when do you hit full boost?

flip your FMIC, run it near the rad for shorter piping and make up new piping like the 'plazmaman' (or what ever its called lol )piping kit its just a 180 deg mandrel bend cut off to suit and a 45deg or so - 400/500 rpms response

get adjustable cam gears advance intake and retard exhaust -400-500 rpms response

or get a hyper gear ss1

or do a rb20de+t

Hi, my r32 (rb20) has a high flowed r33 turbo, front mount and a 3.5 inch cat back the actuator in the high flow is at 14psi.

I want a turbo that fully boosts by 2500 - 3000 ish and pulls harder than the high flow if I got it nistuned and bought a 3 inch full exhaust plus smaller turbo would that do it? Help me please or should I sell it and buy something else?

Hey guys sorry if this is off topic but i recently did a conpression test in my rb25 s1 results were as follows.

Cyl 1 - 168

Cyl 2 - 155

Cyl 3 - 168

Cyl 4 - 165

Cyl 5 - 162

Cyl 6 - 153

Is.this considered decent?

of course that's off topic! If car runs fine don't worry about engine. results seem fine. Keep on thrashing.

At the end of the day an RB20 is what it is , short stroke smallish bore 2L six based on the dimensions of the old L20A . It's never going to be a stump puller that revs like a turbine , Nissans answer was a larger bore with a longer stroke topped by a head with larger ports and valves . 2.5 litres is simply far better use of the RB blocks real-estate than 2 litres .

In real terms the only simple answer in an R32 with a RB20 is to make the car as light as possible and make the gearing suit the engines power curve . Revs aren't a problem if the gearing is suitable because you stay in the usable rev range .

Roy what would happen if you used Evo RS gearing ie a 4.875 diff and a close ratio gear set ? Actually you mentioned R31's and it would be interesting to find out what gearing the Grp A R31s used especially as some of that stuff was made here in Aus . Some of it may have been a carry over from the DR30 era as well and they may have used Rally style direct 5th five speeds .

A .

I think to sum up this thread for the OP would be to leave the car as is and throw injectors, tune and a boost controller and make the most of that. Any more will take more dicking around and $

Otherwise, prob easier for the goal area would be to sell ur R32 and get an RB25DET car (converted R32 or R33 & R34) that has been modified and tuned for the desired result you want.

and building is serious $ when a decent modded R33 that will put a big smile on his face is under $10k these days...

that's also prob less than it would cost him to sell it and upgrade VS boost, inject and tune the current one (+ clutch, + problems etc etc)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
