Hi there,

I have a RB20DET engine in my Cefy with fully forged internals (mostly TOMEI), and a GT23 series turbo...the ignition coil used is from the VL Commodore which works like a V6 (double ignite)... My question is whether this is ok? or the engine is or will be damaged very soon...this car took part in quarter mile drags as well...and will take part...lol

attached pic of the setup

They aren't vl coils. They are vs. vl has one coil.

People have used them. They won't kill your car, they will work or misfire.

I suppose you recently bought the car? Does it run? Why are you worried?

r u seriusly gunna rite ur posts dat bad?

It's heaps annoying. Especially when you are asking for help.

Do you have a dyno chart? I'm pretty sure guys make heaps of power with stock coils, so I'm wondering how much you have. In reality replacing failed stock coils with what you have is the cheaper option.

Yeah, I understand that! You will get more help though if people can actually understand your posts and you take the 30 extra seconds to use slightly better grammar.

So do you have a dyno chart, or a time slip? I am interested to see it as I can see an external gate in the photo so obviously you have a bigger turbo on board.

And seriously, does your car stall sometimes? An afm and Atmo bov is a bad combo.

ok, my apologies. I have the time slip, ill try to upload it tonight. I just got this car on monday and trying to sort out papaers and information. I was searching for a forum to share and take some advice and so i ended up here :)

It has a single turbo is GT28, and yes at lower RPM it does stall. but after 2500-3000RPM the turbo kicks in.

So wat would be a better BOV with AFM, i was thinking of Turbo XS RFL or HKS SSQV 4...will that work?

THe ECU has also been modified to suit that coil.

I hope i am trying to make sense?

Stall != lag. When superben asks if it stalls, he means does the engine actually stop running when you lift off the throttle at low revs. You know, the sort of bad behaviour that occurs when you have a venting BOV on an AFM car.

And no, none of those BOVs are worth your money. Just buy a factory RB25 BOV or a GTR BOV and fit it up with the recirc pipe going back to the turbo inlet like it is supposed to be.

No the engine is good, it does not stop when i lift the throttle.

ok thanks, ill look for those BOV and have it installed.

what if i adjust the current BOV, tighten it a bit so that the pressure released to the atmosphere is less compared to the current setting. will that lighten the stalling? but at the moment the car does not entirely stop. Only when trying to rev up there is a little lag up to 3000rpm before the turbo kicks in.

or will it help to change the order, TB/BOV/AFM or TB/AFM/BOV? to avoid the lil bit lag on pickup...

I think you're confused about what different terms mean.

Lag (when most people around here use the term) is "waiting for boost". That may be "waiting for boost" when you are at lower revs than the turbo will spool up to - ie, the engine must accelerate naturally aspirated until there is enough exhaust flow to spool the turbo up. Or it might be "waiting for boost" when you have been off throttle, say going through a corner, but the revs are high enough to make boost - when you put the foot back down the delay before it starts making boost is lag. That latter one is the real and only true definition of lag, as originally applied to truly laggy turbo cars like the first Porsche turbos. Lag was a killer back then - you'd come out of a corner, put your foot down and wait and wait and wait and they the car would explode onto boost, swap ends and try to kill you in the scenery.

Anyway, the car not making boost until 3000rpm or so is normal, and as long as it doesn't fart and carry on before it comes onto boost, then everything is fine.

A BOV SHOULD NOT VENT TO ATMOSPHERE if you have an Air Flow Meter (AFM). The car will not like it. The AFM measures the air flow while you're on boost. Then you let the throttle off and the BOV let's a lot of that air out. The ECU doesn't know the air is gone and continues to put the fuel into the engine. This causes, at the least, shitty fuel rich running, and can and will cause the engine to stall - to actually stop running. This is a shitful situation and can be avoided by simply not running a venting BOV.

The BOV is not involved in "lag" at all, so forget about it.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
