Hey guys,

Was at CRD on the weeknd to get my car dynoed prior to fitting an bleed valve. and found out im making 150rwkw@10psi on what im assuming is an stock T28 turbo?.. What i dont get is most peeps I know who own rb20det's are getting like 150rwkw@14psi

- current setup is as follows

- 2.5 inch turbo back exhaust

- fuel pump

- Aftermarket AFm

Im assuming there are valid reasons for this?

- such as CRD fudged the numbers (i think highly unliky as it was in shootuout mode)

- bigger turbo t3 maybe

- good engine (I was told by the crd boyz that there were 3 versions of the rb20 blocks)

if i have a bigger turbo whats a good way to tell if u got a bigger turbo from taking the covers off without pulling the turbo out as we all know the t28 and t3 all look alike on the outside..

Im asking b4 i wind up the boost and start running up the boost and running down wsid to find out I have blown something.. :D

cef.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
