Hey guys, chucking together another engine, trying out with a NA RB20 on jungle juice e85, was running a TD06 20g on the last 20(DET), made around 300rwkw, super happy with the response, lag was never an issue, have another car i use for small tracks which has response, this engine will be more for open tracks, wanna see what i can stretch the little 20 to, more of an experiment more than anything. Have a HKS twin scroll mani i'm using, and still have the TD06 although it may be in need of some love (it's had a good innings), also have a precision 6265. precision is a bit of a jump, but considering it's there and wont cost me anything, i'd be willing to try it, i've definitely had laggier setups, then change if it proves too much of an issue.

The td06 25g is an obvious option, but i'd like to see if i could utilise the twin scroll manifold, ideally a ball bearing turbo, and with the high compression, squeeze around 330rwkw with around the same lag as the td06 20g, at less boost (26psi, had control issues). the limiter is going up to 8000rpm and possibly up to 4.6's from 4.1's. any ideas on a good turbo in that range, BB twin scroll, or is it not worth it?

while i'm at it, looking into a forwards facing plenum setup, possibly adapting the RB26 itb setup, but unsure if it will help with midrange, or hinder. For me, the benefits of simplicity and clearance with them are extremely beneficial out on the track, so i'd like to justify one performance wise as well. any thoughts on that one too?

cheers

6265 is way too big...they are a bit laggy on 2.5s but will make 400+

T67-25g would be my pick if you aren't fussed on having to rev it to the moon and back

Sooooooo....buy some good valve springs and rev that mofo!!!

i ran the precision on a 25 with a cheap chinese intake manifold and cheap NZ s/p ex mani (junk, but bought car as is), and it was pretty laggy but worked, only issue was when i went up to competition tyres, the clutch was too doey to keep the rpm up for it's setup. but it is a v-band housing-manifold, and it was running a cheap v-band so was leaking like a sieve. the 32 runs a much bitier clutch, hopefully decent plenum, the hks mani with no leaks, higher rpm (and higher ratio to suit), so i'd imagine it would be on par if not maybe a bit better even without the extra 500cc capacity. after currently running the same td06 turbo on both RB25 and RB20, i can say with all confidence that i much prefer the RB20's setup, however it did run e85 and more boost, but it was much stronger through the power region which counted for me (top end). The RB25 i run now with TD06 20g is better on the low speed stuff, but the 20 was still managable on the low speed, but had way more to give on the higher speed stuff.

rb20de+T will work well for response... drop in det cam shafts as they are different... adjst cam gear advance intake and retard zorst will net you more response.

intake mani- the ones that bolts on top of the factory one are bent to be better due to longer runners, although the ones like greedy one piece will hinder power/response due to shorter runners

hypergear aint doing too bad, check out the ss range

only going to 8000rpm so standard springs should be sweet, i assume they are the same de and det even though there are slight lift differentials?

as far as intake, i'd love the ITB's, really like throttle response, if it's too much work i won't bother, but it'd be ideal if i could utilise it. Just not sure how, looked into cutting and shutting, but where? possibly cutting off the runners right at the flange, running some tubing with a laser cut flange to suit rb20? could be a chance to add some length to runners if they are a little short standard. not sure how that will play with fuel delivery but will be run with motec m500 which should allow some control.

think its slight lift and duration difference which might cause power band issues, seeing that your after as much power as you can get out of it . should just rack them out of the broken det

Not any real input, just a question. Wouldn't running ~26psi on a DE+T kill it very very quickly? I know running ethanol will help but surely running high comp and high boost would lead to extremely high cylinder pressures that the NA rods just can't cope with? Don't really know too much about all this stuff, hence the question. Genuinely curious.

going to give it a whirl, plenty examples around with 30de and 25de's, i'm not planning on running 26psi, that was my old setup on the DET, it actually ran aroud 30psi most of the time due to control issues. never bothered to fix it as it never had any problem running it all day every day haha.

plan is to run 17-20psi (maybe higher if the turbo i use needs it), the E85 is pretty amazing stuff. afaik RB20DE rods are the same as RB20DET rods? or at least strength wise. haven't pulled one apart yet to confirm, if they are weaker that'd be very usefull info. main worry atm is lack of oil squirters, but looking at RB30's i'm thinking it's not the end of the world.

na rods and DET rods are the same, in fact the whole bottom end construction is the same, just the CR changes. also boost pressure doesnt kill engines (to a point) rather its excess or uncontrolled cyln pressures that does. if you can get the tune right and control the combustion you'll have a happy engine that runs right!

thankfully Nisskid and myself have a tuner who is more then switched on enough to do the job. case in point is my own car that just keeps going and making 400+ rwkw on stock rb30e bottom end

Wouldn't running more boost increase cylinder pressure? Or is the difference between 10 (standard) and 26 psi hardly worth noting when cylinder pressure is so high anyway?

9:1 compression ratio means that whatever you put in there to start with gets squeezed up to 9 times the original pressure. If you start with no boost at all, then you end up with about 9 times atmospheric pressure. If you run 10 psi boost on top of atmospheric, then you have (14.7 + 10)/14.7 to start with and then you squeeze that 9 times. So now instead of maybe 132 psi, you have maybe 222 psi. And if you were to start with 26 psi of boost, the ratio now gives you 366 psi.

So, yeah, 26 psi does make a hell of a difference to cylinder pressures compared to 10 psi. That's the whole point.

** Note that I've only done simple ratios up there and haven't taken into consideration any aspects of head flow efficiency or non-adiabatic compression effects etc etc. It's just for illustration.

this is what im going off.

still struggling with turbo choice, thinking about grabbing a new rear housing, maybe a touch smaller and twin scroll (assuming that's possible, feel a bit rookie asking, but i assume twin and single scroll internals are the same besides the housing, blade design isn't different?) for the precision, here are my choices

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
