So i got a new rb20det and its running standard 20det sidemount turbo , i want to put my t3t4 back on but its ennificient on a 20 kicking in around 4000-7000k i heard if manifold is shortened it will kick in quicker and be more effecient , is this true and is it worth it ?

idk i was just told this by a mate and i wasnt really paying to much attention but i would assume turbo manifold , i just want more boost out of it and i already have the turbo so it would be good if i could run that but have it kick in lower revs

yea stock manifold sidemount , thats what i was thinking but he said hes done it before and its a piece of piss so idk haha but it doesnt sound like something you would do i guess i would have to look into it more but i agree hacking into manifold doesnt sound logical haha

you can disconnect the actuator

Yep, easiest and cheapest way to unlock max boost, pull off wastegate line. (seeing as you got fairly confused about the manifold thing, that is a joke)

Tell whatever hybrid turbo you have. Buy a NEO6 turbo, it bolts straight on. Put the RB20 actuator on that and enjoy 10psi. It kicks in around 3,000rpm (probably a bit earlier if you had a full exhaust). Good for some fast driving, better fuel economy while putting around. Win win.

this applies to manifold pipe diameter, bigger pipe = more lag but some top end power, where as smaller pipe is more response but top end power is reduced

so stock manifold is more responsive due to smaller diameter pipe

you might have a boost leak or if not your running a r33 turbo/actuator for that 6psi

sounds like its normal for an ebay t3/t4 turbo (whatever that is who really knows) to spool extremely late on a 20. you cannot shorten the maniifold someones just talking crap to you. better off selling it and putting on an rb25 standard turbo. car will be like new car to drive, will be so much quicker and more enjoyable.

Op6 rear housing is a little big for a 20, considering you can't run a lot of boost through them I wouldn't bother, better of selling one he has and buying a 2530 or similar, at least will have the potential to make decent power and have great spool.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
