Hey mates I'm just looking at the dyno sheet I got with this beast. I'm wondering about the boost curve. Does it show that it doesn't make full boost until 7500 rpm? I would expect it to make that at worst case 5700rpm then the line to stay flat till max rpm.

It's a gt35 .82 rear on a rb20. Garrett turbo. China stainless manifold. 38mm wastegate screamer pipe.

Boost controller is a turbo smart dual stage manual one.

No idea what spring is in wastegate

Looking for some ideas on if that's how it shud be or if something's goin on with setup.

I understand its not the ideal size turbo but that's what's on it. Il live with it

Thanks mates

Have a look through the RB20 Dyno sticky thread. For example, the dyno sheet on the top of the last page shows the sort of shape you should be aiming for manifold pressure (boost). I'd guess your setup is always going to be horrible with a turbo that big. Suggest you change your mind about living with it. You want to enjoy driving your car don't you? :)

Yea I've seen a lot of dyno sheets on there. I believe it should be as I suggested and reach full boost at a certain point in the 5000rpm range and hold it but want to confirm something may be up with mine and if something isn't right suggest what is causing it.

The turbo is too big, and the .82 housing is more suited to a 3L engine. A stock RB25 turbo can make that power, and come on by 3k on a 2L.

It could make bulk KW if you were willing to rev it to 12k and make use of that amount of airflow. (porting heads, massive cams etc.)

Yes, the peak boost is at 7500rpm but that's not so much a factor of turbo lag as it is boost control - its boost creeping which is why it keeps climbing and ending up at it's highest there. Looks like the gate is opening at around 6000rpm, which is closer to your expectations and I'd say is probably more or less what you're going to get on an RB20.

Yea I did consider it could be boost creep but I thought that if it could hold the 12 psi setting fairly well it should be able to control 21 psi.

If I put a spring closer to 21 psi in the wastegate could that make it better? Could probably assume the current spring is below 12 psi

That will increase the boost, you should hit 21psi by 10k or so. :P

An electronic boost controller may help with the boost curve, but a heavier spring will definitely be required in the wastegate.

as said totally wrong setup so 7500 would be correct

to give you an example I ran an rb22 with gtx3076 with 0.82 tial 44 Vipec 88 and e85 with basically everything you can get for that setup (cams dialled in etc) and had full boost at 5200

as all said above get rid of that turbo its never going to work

food for thought (ignore if you wish).

  • Sell turbo
  • Sell manifold
  • Sell gate

then

  • buy a brand new hypergear highflow
  • stock manifold
  • spend all leftover cash on hookers and cocaine
  • and whatever is left on tyres

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz 路 Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 馃ゲ But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.

      That is correct,  I have a forged RB25/30det NEO hiding away safely and I wanted to use the very rare greddy vct adj cam gear on this new setup and so I just used the whole thing on my s1 instead of pulling it appear because I'm lazy af 馃槄馃馃徏
