Hey Ben, Congrats man thats very nice power !! RB20s still rock ! 12 years on

One suggestion though, turn boost up a little higher say 1.3 - 1.4 bar.

On mine from 1.2 to 1.4bar really starts pulling hard @ 1.4.

cant wait to put the Rb26 cams and pulleys. Gotta do the clutch first tho..

yeah i plan to get it on the dyno again next week before WSID on wed night, I might just do one power run on high boost, but i get a little scared, this is my everyday driver so i need it to run reliably :(

But like i have said before, i need to have a dyno print-out with over 300rwhp and my name on it. just so i can say i have over 300hp

what does everyone else think about running around 1.4 bar? on a stock RB20 with std headgasket? i was considering running the 1.2bar when i race, but for everyday i only run between 0.8 and 1.1bar.

MRK25T you need to let it open up, these turbos are designed to run highish boost to reach their efficiency peak @ 1.3 - 1.4 bar...  

theres a shitload of power to be had from 1.0 - 1.4 bar...

The next owner can boost it more, I couldnt afford a new engine if it blew so got it tuned acordingly. The tuner at Procar did a great job with the car, it is very smooth. Notice how straight he got the AFR.

They are a great turbo, much better than my high flowed standard turbo.

yeah the A/F ratio is awesome on yours! i need to get mine like that.

was it Paul who tuned your car? he was very helpful and knows his stuff, he showed me some stuff on a 900hp NA V8 he recently built! imagine having an NA 900hp engine!

I really need to invest in a PFC! anyone got one cheap for me? hehe

yours will pull some awesome numbers once the boost is in mark.

No, a specialist tuner came in to do my tuning at Procar.

WHo was the tuner mark? Dont be shy.

Paul from Procar will tell you. He doesnt do any joe shmoe off the street. He tunes the car only if you are sitting in the car with him the whole time and explains everything. I dont know cars, but I did a fair few units of physics in my science degree and it all made sense to me.

The car is no longer mine, sold it this afternoon.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
