hey guys just wondering what sort of mods on the rb20 will give you around 230kw and if the injectors need to be changed then?

Personally I have never been able to get over 180 rwkw on the standard 270 cc injectors and that is with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a GTR fuel pump. I have 550 cc S5RX7T injectors in mine and Roy has GTR 444 cc injectors in his, if I remember rightly.

Hope that helps:cheers:

Hi Roy, Did you end up just getting another 2nd hand RB20? What kind of warranty did it come with?  

That 222rwkw is a nice figure did you get ICE to tune it for you? What kind of air/fuel ratio are you running?

Any chance of posting up dyno graph?

Too many questions i know! :mad:

Yeh it was another 2nd hand engine. I did 2,500km on it with 3 sumps of oil before I got ICE to tune it. The engines normally come with 3 month warranties, but if you have modified bits (turbo, ecu etc) going on the engine they will more then likely only give you a start up warranty.

Yeh ICE tuned it. If I can find a scanner the ill post it up. Im a pretty hard man to please but I am happy with the tune. Drives really nice and from what im told is under what the turbo is capable of…LOL noone can decide if its all the engine is capable of or should we wind a bit more out of it. But the tuner has done the right thing whats the point of getting another 20-30hp if it means I need a tow home from Phillip Island:)

I don’t know what A/Fs as the graph I have only has power and boost. It doesn’t even have all the dyno settings down the bottom so doesn’t really tell you much other then at 4,000rpm it makes 84rwkws:)

Good stuff mate, when are you due over?

will have to take you for a spin in my car when you are here :mad:

Im not sure if that’s a good idea, id hate to go for a ride in your car and realise it makes the same power but with better response. For the time being im happy:)

But I have noticed that my power tapers off abruptly at just under 6,000rpm so maybe time for those cams:(

Im due over next Sunday thru to Friday 12-Nov-04

My power does a similar thing, Shauns thinking is that my dump/exhaust is a little restrictive, the dump pipe is a cast HKS item, but the front pipe upon measuring isn't a full three inches, more like 2 3/4inch pipe, so there is a little to be had there I think

apart from getting the boost controller sorted, I will leave mine as is for the summer and once the weather cools a little then might get my sapre motor's head ported and fit the GTR cams and gears :mad:

Will definatly catch up when you come over

Another night for drinks / and or meal?

Hope to catch up again Roy....i did like your car last time...plenty of go in that Trust turbo...mmmmm :aroused:

Mine'll be going 100% by then (stage 1:D), and Joel's on his run in stage....

nice mate, lots of grunt and a nice stable boost curve, it doesn't nose over too much up top

time to get my ebc working, hopefully for a similar result! ;) I will scan mine in over the weekend for a comparison

Ive never had prob with my AVCR…but I hear ppl say that AVCRs spike a lot and cant hold stable boost. :confused:

Would you believe I have my wastegate spring at 8psi and using the AVCR to dial in 12psi and 17psi. It creeps a little up top to almost 18psi but its pretty stable considering the soft wastegate spring im running…so in short, nothing wrong with AVCRs:thumbsup:

Yeh Duncan the thing starts to plateau a little at 6,000rpm, power cure doesn’t nose dive but I would have thought she would swallow a little more air up top. Looking at the result im starting to think about some 260/270 - 8.8mm lift cams again. Imagine the idle :whackit:

I have to say im pretty stoked with the results of the tune, the numbers don’t look all that flash on paper:( but on the road it feels not too bad

Was the dyno run in 4th gear? If so the graph stops at ~6,150 rpm, I hate it when they stop the graph, I like to see what happens all the way up to the rev limit. It is hard to tell where to change gear with a graph like that. Standard cams usually make max power at just over 6,000 rpm, so it looks quite normal. The reason it feels OK on the road is because it makes 5 psi at ~3,750 rpm and 10 psi at ~4,250 rpm. That's pretty good, a little bit of camshaft timing and some more lift would bring that down a few hundred RPM.

If the dyno run is in 3rd gear......well you have some work to do.

:D

*looking around for the "cold bucket of water" smiley after SK's comments* :D

As always, valuable comment. Now if only Roy would take me up on a deal on "apparently" 9.25mm lift cams. Is it even possible to make use of that much lift?

Yes, please confirm gear and what rpm max power was at.

Got my car back yesterday after Autronic install and it made 185rwkw @ 14psi with the original GTS-R T3/4.

It made its max just over 6,000, is this normal?

They said there was a shitload more in it but my fuel system is out of puff.

I dont have an EBC but they said it was a good idea to get one as to hold 14psi steadily when the pedal is mashed it has to ramp up near 17psi then drop a psi or two and then it holds 14psi to redline.

Is this a normal occurence and will an EBC make it able to get up to and hold 14psi without going over?

I will post up the charts tonight for scrutineering!

My peak power of 202rwkw done with a highflowed R34 GTT turbo, if its anything compare to, is at 145kmh which is roughly around 6000rpm in 4th gear so, yeah it seems that the cams maybe the next restriction, although my power doesn't abruptly taper off, it just slowly starts curving downward...

Should be interesting to see how many trackdays this unknown RB20 manages to withstand with these kind of power levels :D

I might come down to the philip island day next month just to see it :D

:D

We always print our graphs with RPM on the bottom axis, and run in 4th gear. I don't understand why the kph reference, specially when you are trying to sort A/F. It is just anther calc to get back to the number you want....

Roys looks like something from Mt. Buller to me... we are going to run with full size exhaust next time out, so that should be interesting. Those p155y ones we run in Targa hurt the boost ramp something aweful.

Well done Roy, keep the faith

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
