Auto / manual

Does not compute, does not compute

Was SST though

Also drove housemates SR20... also does not feel laggy.

Honestly kind of made me think the RB25 is pretty f**king laggy for the capacity, given how good other 2.0's actually seem to be relative to it

Felt a bit like the 2.5 Subaru engines being 2.5 to keep up with Mitsu's 2.0

You have a huge turbo on yours though, don't you?

Can't compare response with nearly twice the power

After driving a slightly Modified 8MR, then getting back in my car, off boost wasn't as annoying for me anymore

once im running boost ill take you for a spin. not sure what you interpret as "lag" but big cams certainly hold things back (until on boost...)

driving car home tomorrow :) been a busy few days on it.

that's cos it got outsourced to the singaporeans, same as citylink.

If there's one thing Singaporeans can do, it's build shit

Using people from the rest of the world

Car related question: do I need gasket sealant to install a catback..? or is it recommended..? or just the gaskets good enough, keeping in mind it's a cheap-ish x-force exhaust..

net glitched out.

got locked out of our NAB business account.

account is in my name and partners name.

nab acknowledges that i am also on the account, wont give me a new password.

partner is currently OS.

daf**k man.

Couldn't tell you what to do without being at work. End of the day it will all come down to what paperwork you signed when you at the account up initially. If it says both ID's required then you's in for a bad time

Not really that huge given the difference in displacement, but I guess its gonna be noticeable at under 100kmhs in any case.​

260RWKW in a SR20 did NOT feel laggy. It was enough to kick the back out at 30kmh in 3rd at part throttle, boost is pretty much on any time you hit the throttle.

once im running boost ill take you for a spin. not sure what you interpret as "lag" but big cams certainly hold things back (until on boost...)

I guess it depends on how much powarz you are making on your SR20, the example I was using is a GTX2863R at about 260RWKW, but at the same time feels like its the sweet spot, would lack traction at much more than that, and just get lag for no real benefit.. in that specific setup.

it is entirely possible my car is a complete clusterf**k nugget

At least you're out of the way for Headspec to start on mine now, i.e replace a head gasket so I should be good to go in 2021.

lol. yes it did take a very long time for me to get my car in there, but was kinda my fault it took a good part of a week to get it out the door. thank you for your patience. (but also keep in mind ive been on the imaginary waiting list for many months).

similar power on same-ish turbo. but big cams, FWD and less weight. traction only an issue if driven like a muppet.

dont give up on car just yet, may need an open mind to overcome some gremlins though.

tbh I have ordered the gasket and studs but they haven't arrived yet. Will be keen to see what actually happened, as it was picked by my keen spidey sense of "SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT" which has been honed by destroying everything over the years.

I may end up going a 1.06 rear "just because" because HS believe that I've lifted the head due to backpressure, even though you'd think a .82 on a GTX35 would be enough to get the air out.

But then again, who knows what'll happen once it comes apart. I will be pretty keen to see what studs were actually in the engine, if they were ARP2000's after all then they were under-torqued on the blueprint.

If its only that, I'll be a happy f**kin camper lol

from what I've heard (and its all second-hand info if you know what I mean), the last motor was bit warped and you're running stock head gasket on a big power/boost 2.8 setup? i know its a metal gasket, but thats a lot of boost. Tony runs factory, but he's got a big-ass turbo with less boost.

there is talk of an underlying issue that hasnt been addressed causing this warping. wont know till its torn apart.

As it should be

And greg pls...no car is kicking out at 30km/h in 3rd gear without a clutch dump on shot tyres in the rain!

There's nothing magical in the Jap 2 litre engines, unless very high comp and E85, that's going to make them more responsive or less laggy than a 2.5 with similar top end power. I'm yet to drive one more responsive than my 2.5 that doesn't die in the ass after the mid range cause of its tiny turbo...happy to be shown otherwise...

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
