Ill cut right to it.

My R32 gts-t came with a S1 rb25det swap already done. it seems like they used the rb20 loom. I know with the rb25 wiring harness the 2 stage boost can be disabled by the solenoid ground wire attached to the body. how can i bypass the rb20's restricted boost (as the 20's didnt have a boost solenoid) and let the rb25det keep 7 psi at low rpms rather than 5 psi from 2500~4500 and then 7-8 psi through the higher powerband?

shorter story

I have a hallman MBC, but when i open up the spring, it doesn't give me any extra boost at all. am i limited until i get a haltech ecu? or can the rb20s boost limiter be disabled to allow more than 5 psi at low rpms?

bought it off carsales very recently?

You'll need an SBC (electronic) if using oem ecu's.

Edit: If you use just the MBC your A/F mixtures will be off. In itself not a biggie but not the best way to go about things.

P.S. You should have had a look at the R32 4 Door - Just saying :P (its mine :D)

When i purchased the car it had a direct line from the I/C to the wastegate. So if i put a MBC between the I/C and wastegate, i will run rich or lean? but it still won't increase boost at low RPM's?

and how can i run a SBC if its a rb20 loom. theres no plug because the rb20s didnt have a boost solenoid

also the ECU is supposedly a mines tuned refurbished rb25/20 ecu. i can't confirm this though. other than the 2 stage boost the car runs smooth and i haven't had any problems at all

my stuff up mate. Don't know what I was thinking. :/

SAFC II for the air fuel if your not considering replacing the stock ECU.

T-boost controller (Manual)

What is the internal wastegate used? and it's PSI rate?

i must have a vaccum leak or boost leak somewhere. I'm running a large FMIC without a BPV/BOV. I get damn near instant spool, but it stays 3-5 psi until 4500 rpm which leads me to believe the 2 stage is still active. This is with either a direct line to wastegate or mbc. im not sure if the wastegate is off a rb20 or 25. id have to research the differences between the 20/25 turbo before i can tell you which im running

The RB20 has a direct line to the actuator which opens at about 10psi so no 2 stage boost. If you are using the stock RB25 actuator with a direct line also no 2 stage boost. If your manual boost controller is working and correctly plumbed you should be able to raise the boost to better than 10 psi.

Has your new RB25 got an internally wastegated turbo (stock) or has it had an external wastegate fitted?

If you use the wastegate controller for an RB20DET, then you will get around 10psi available right through the rev range. Then "open up" the dump pipe and you can get a couple more psi.

(this is how my RB25DET in R32GTS4 is set up. I also run the wastegate actuator from the fpr line, so I get full 12psi at the manifold, rather than at the compressor wheel)

You shouldn't run anything from the fpr line . Boost for actuator ideally comes from compressor or as near as.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
