Can't seem to find a definite answer

So atm I'm running a dead stock rb20. Good compression. Turbos worn and blows a little smoke has an aftermarket exhaust not the greatest but it will do for now

I currently have an

Op6 (not high flowed yet)

Splitfires

New coil pack harness (mines f**ked)

New 02 sensor

New ect

New z32 and tomei plug

All not installed yet would rather do it the day before tune

I'm yet to send the ecu for a nistune

Which will be done shortly

Will be getting a hdi front mount shortly

And a ebc to control boost levels.

The questions are

I want to run 18-20psi high and a low of around 12-14 daily. What size injectors would you say will do the job

I could get denso 550s or gtr injectors. Want a direct fit

Will I need need to get a bigger fuel pump and an adjustable reg? If so what items can I get that are direct swap no modification needed. (Still running in tank pump and stock rail)

What psi will the stock op6 actuator run on the rb20

A good tuner in Sydney who's easy to talk to and will tell you everything that's going on

And last but not least the cars running rich as shit but the plugs are white? Isn't this a lean indication?the car runs like a dog when it's hot. No power whatsoever so ideally I want to just get the engine mods done sooner rather then later

Am I wasting my time if I got the required stuff and run 12psi with the op6 now. And then retune on 18-20 when I can afford a high flow.

Or should I just wait that little bit longer get the high flow then go for the full tune and be done with it?

I assume a tuner wouldn't charge so much for a retune.

Also while I'm at it I was planning on running bcpr6es plugs like I always do at .8mm

But I was told that bcpr7es plugs at .75 mm is a better option with these sorts of mods

Thanks hope someone has the answers to my questions

20 psi on a bigger turbo on an RB20 can be up around 260 rwkW or so. Depends on quite a few niggly little factors. But you should expect at least 250rwkW.

Injectors are easy. Don't f**k about. Just buy some new 1000cc Bosch types from Scotty. Wiring patch connectors and adapters etc are all off the shelf easy to fit stuff. Much much much better injectors than your other mentioned options. 1000cc will not be too big - don't panic.

Yes you will need a fuel pump. At least a Bosch 040 or 044 or Walbro equivalent. No you will not need a regulator.

The stock OP6 actuator will run 5 psi on the RB20. That's what it's set for. You do not want to use that actuator. Using boost control to get a 5psi actuator up to over 14 psi is asking for trouble.

In fact. I would suggest that you DO NOT WANT TO USE AN OP6 highflow at all!!!!!!!! It will be a laggy nasty piece of shit. You should probably sell it to someone who desperately wants one and use a normal R33 turbo as the base for the highflow. You don't need the big exhaust housing for an RB20 and you will hate it.

If you fit the OP6 stock, you will be able to run it it 12 or maybe 14 psi and it will be quite good. Still a bit laggier than desirable for the power level you will achieve, but if it were me, I would certainly do that. You'll be able to get up over 200rwkW easily enough.

There is no value to be found in rebuilding a Hitachi turbo without highflowing it. You can't really rebuild a ball bearing centre anyway, so you can't really re-use the CHRA even with the idea of new bearings and wheels. Once you get to that point, you're all the way into a highflow effort.

Stock RB20 actuator will run to 10 psi or thereabouts. With a free-er exhaust housing and big exhaust it may well go up to about 12 or so on its own even without boost control, but you'd still want a boost controller so you can ramp it up onto boost as hard as possible, because believe me, RB20s really need to get the boost on as soon as possible!

Back onto the turbo side of things how much lag would I expect ?

I really can't be f**ked finding another turbo I was told to get this by quite a few people and they said the lag really wasn't that bad. But if I can get a few more answers awesome :)

As previously advised, contact Stao AKA Hypergear, he might have something he can swap you for, or at the very least be able to advise you on what the op6 will be like on a 20.

Missile man I've already spoke to him and he didn't mention anything I could swap for

His words were very very laggy

But other people say it's not that bad....

I guess lags different for people

And yeah there's a couple I've skimmed thru but they don't really show when boost comes in just what they run to achieve that power

Just searching for "RB20" on the first page of the HG thread shows up at least the following links. The first one in the list is not the first one on the page, but I think you should look for posts by CEF33Y on that page. There is a variety of result/discussion of RB20 options on the other links.

Ok if Hypergear doesn't want your turbo, swap it with someone with an R33 who does want it.

Just because you have bought something is not a good reason to fit it. People can get used to Lag but its still boring as to drive on the street

Wow I didn't even know you could search single threads that's awesome

I always do a general search of the whole forum

Probably why I never get results lol

And kiwi

Aren't the r33 turbos similar in size? Or is the rear housing smaller

Remember I will be high flowing whatever I get. (Unless it's already capable of 20 psi

1st point. If you want to search ANY forum ANYWHERE, ALWAYS assume that the inbuilt search function is a piece of shit, and use Google to do the search. On a Google search all you have to do is put in the same search terms you would have used on the site search, but also add "site:sau.com.au" at the end (without the quotes of course, not that they probably matter).

2nd point. The search I did, which produced those links, was achieved by pressing Ctrl-F which brings up the browser's own page search. I typed in RB20 and just clicked through the various findings of RB20 in Stao's thread index, opening the ones that looked promising in new tabs as I went.

OK fair enough, my hiflow rb20 turbo is just tolerable in my auto R32, 1 bar by 4200rpm, have not had it on a dyno yet so no idea of power.

sorry that post was incorrect, I get 1 bar at 3700-3800 rpm

makes positive manifold pressure by 2500

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
