just a thought. i know someone was looking at putting two rb20 turbo's on but i thought that it would be interesting to use the turbos off a gtr or a 300zx ( twin turbo version ) using the gtr manifolds put cut and weld the rb20 plate onto it so it will fit the block.

with running two turbo's through one afm, is that going to cause anything to happen?

i would maybe only run about 10 - 14 psi through that but still it would be better mid range and top end.

what is the size difference between the GTR and 300zx turbo's?

any info would be great

Cheers

if you put the gtr cams in, port and polish the intake/exhaust hi flow the vg turbos, it will come full boost at approx 3~35. No probs at all, with power figures from 300hp and up.

Those who say its not worth doing, havent done it, or cannot afford to set it up properly.

or cannot afford to set it up properly.

Thats the point, how much does all that cost, plus to get 300rwhp you are borderline on injectors so save all the labout costs of porting / hi-flowing and bolt on a 2530/2535 and have coin left over for injectors or cam wheels :P

...are you running GTR cams in your engine (RB20)?

Its all good, like i have always said they are a $600 throw away engine, and really who would have bought a 170,000km old RB20 for more then $200?

Im only annoyed as im another one that will now be turning my back on the RB20 before i got the Trust setup workign properly, the final hurdle was a good tune (as opposed to the Jap ECU i was running with it) with the cam wheels and cam gears, and the car died 3mtrs fromthe dyno....that annoys me as i suspect the setup would have given me a great 250-260 rwkws with good power from 4000rpm up (it would have been running 1.3bar)

two vg30det turbos/internal gate, walbro pump, gtr cams, gtr injectors, port/polish, exhaust maifold, and we are expecting it to be on boost at 3~35, with 4 at the very very latest. smooth on off bost charateristics. not lag lag boost wall...

Should have engine together very very soon.

On what engine an RB20? be interesting to see the results, considering that an RB26 is a bigger engine and uses smaller std turbos and doesnt make meaningful boost/power that early, mind you it is a better flowing engine.

Good to see someone trying something different

rb20 all the way. Are aimed power figure is 400hp atw. With the porting(isnt much clearance for porting compared to the rb20), polishing, and the gtr cams.. will give a greater puff, and longer puff duration. ie, earlier spool up times. Being a ball bearing setup.. hopefully knock 200 rpm off... We are not the first twin turbs rb20, there is another here in brisbane.. but the are using much bigger turbos.. and the characteristics everone are describing is the problems he is having. our misson goal is always, because they say it cannot be done.. means we can do it.

Our other project car is a barina swing. 1.3 liter. ~18~20 sec quater standard car. We told the public of brisbane,this is going to be a 13 sec car when finished. The amount of people who laughed in our faces... all they can do now is just let their jaw drop when they see the car in action down the quarter.

mtopxsecret6,

Even with bigger cams it isn't going to do a great deal. You still won't get boost coming in how the std small rb20t turbo comes in.

The std rb20 turbo driving up a hill loaded up will make 1 bar by 3000rpm, general driving on a flat road and acceleration in say second will see 1 bar by 3500rpm.

But... You will find out. :P

And 400hp at the wheels.. is that with the VG30DETT turbo's? 2 of them generally only flow enough for around 220rwkw and thats with the bigger valves and much better flowing head than the small toy looking 10c piece valves.

Twin turbo's doesn't mean less lag, it all depends how it is setup.

If you set it up the Supra way then yes but setting it up the GTR generally doesn't yield any improvement compared to a similiar single turbo.

A GT2530 comes in hard at around 3700-4000rpm. They make 220rwkw.

As you can see there is bugger all difference.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
