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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
