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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
