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

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
