This is some result form an ATR43SS1 Turbo in bush bearing. It made 227rwkws @ 17psi on Pump 98 fuel. I've used the same turbo with BB core on my R34.2  with an RB20det (running with melted cyc 6) which is very responsive.

Green boost curve: Same turbo with BB's core.

About 2 months too slow Tao, I asked if you were going to continue with testing on RB20 and you said it was too much hassle for little gain with all the problems you were having. Ended up going with an EFR6758.

Third pic isn't loading for me either btw

So around 900rpm improvement in response from BB core??

Is that a typical result??? seems like a lot

*Sorry, should be in hypergear thread

 

On topic, can't wait to hear it with that manifold! Would like to change the manifold on mine, but cant pull the trigger cost wise, just for the noise. If I could justify a jump in performance aswell, I could maybe do it, haha

Hitting 15psi by 4000rpm (picked that because the curve to 17psi rolls over a little presumably because of boost control so saying full boost at 4700rpm makes it sound much worse than it is) and making 227kw @ hubs, which is a healthy result - but to be honest, it may be my 16G fanboism coming out but I feel that one of those would happily do that power on 98 too, but with significantly better response.   His ball bearing equivalent shows 18psi by 4000rpm, which is more like what I'd expect from the 16G but of course DBB also offers transient response improvements (the old "Dyno doesn't show it" stuff) so that sounds a bit like it'd be quite a nice turbo on an RB20, especially if it's not expensive.

Either way, neither turbo are twin scroll - let alone EFRs, so probably a bit off topic here.

Might be 6 years too late. The date on that graph says 2011, lol.

:D yes thats when they were first developed.The turbo is ATR28SS15 based, it maxed out at 281rwkws P98 fuel on an worked SR20det, on a stock cammed Rb20det it should be maxing some where towards the 250rwkws depending on mods. 

I bought a R32 GTS4 late last year and trailed a bunch of other wheel and housing combinations and that is still the best one, BB improved transit response and made the turbo came in with very light throttle movement. Unfortunately I've picked up a bad car, its unfit for the building purpose, I might get another one to continue this venture when I see something come up decent. 

 

Keen to hear more about the intake manifold and any dramas fitting it up.

I've got a complete RB26 intake, throttles etc and adapter plate sitting here waiting to go, just need an RB30 thermostat housing.
It will be replacing my current FF manifold so I'm hoping not too many gotchas.

I'm using the otaku garage adapter on mine. They fit fine on RB25 but on RB20 there is only a bees dick of clearance to the Thermostat housing. You actually have to scallop the coolant rail that runs under the 26 manifold to make it fit, and even then doing that will be a tight fit.

I have some pics of it but they are on my computer, will post them up here when I get a chance

You planning to ceramic coat or wrap that manifold? 

Neither, it's far too beautiful for that! It should go purple and gold being the hypertune 347ss. If it starts to fade or look shitty after a couple of years I will ceramic coat in titanium.

Nope wasn't me, I live in the land of the harshest vehicle laws in the world (aka straya)

I'm yet to try it as I have been away from the car for 4 weeks but will be getting stuck into it when I get home. I will keep this thread updated for you to follow [emoji106]

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
