I'm sure they just leave km/h on the bottom because it is easiest for the dyno operator...they don't need gear or diff ratios for each car. It is of course bloody useless for everyone else untill you convert it :D

I didnt see the last bit of tuning or the dyno run for which i got the printout....but all other uns i did see were always in 4th gear. The dyno sheet doesnt list all the parameters so i dont know. Im welding up a middle pipe to replace my cat and centre muffler then going to give it another run to see if power and response is helped.

I suspect they stopped the dyno run at 6,100-6,200rpm because power starts to taper off and this car has been jinxed whilst in their shop...so i think they were glad to hand it back in one piece:)

Im confident its 4th gear, just based on the way the turbo spools and how it matches the plot...and in 3rd gear that equates to just over 8,000rpm and i have my rev limit at 7,100rpm for the time being:)

Interesting how RB20's cams seem to be restricting it to peak power just after 6000 rpm, this is very similar to what mine was like on the dyno the other day

I installed my PFC boost controller kit on the weekend (Targa Tom, thanks mate!) as mine was dropping of boost after about 5500 rpm, it would drop from 17/18spi to 14/15, peak power was at around 6200rpm, 205rwkw and after that it would drop of pretty quick, with 7100ish dropping back to around 190rwkw

Will be interesting to see how the boost controller performs with the boost drop off.

If cams are the problem, then I have a set of GTR cams that I could put in later on :P

Or too lazy to connect up the rpm lead.:P

ok rb20s are strong

saturdays drag day i did 48 runs a new WSID record, i turned the car off once or twice for 10mins all day, i literally did a run went around and did another

temperature stayed very low the whole time, at the end of the strip when i was doing a u-turn temps were back to my normal cruise temp.

best run was 45th run. 12.987 @ 104mph 1.8 60'

i have 199.6rwkw hks 2530, gtr inj, wolf, eboost

car was strong as an ox all day

i ran about 6+ 13.0*

rb20 power!!@!!!!

A friend was telling me about your effort on the weekend:thumbsup:

Finally got my car back!

R31 GTS-R RB20 eccs red top. Only mods are Autronic ECU, exhaust and pod.

185rwkw. Was over 220kw but injectors and pump were begging for mercy.

Boost ramps to 18psi just over 4,000 and then settles at 14psi 4800 onwards.

They say an EBC will get me a more stable boost curve.

Looking at the RWD and power delivery. In 2nd gear it equates to about 190rwkws at about 60km/h and the thing gets power down nicely with the susp setup i have.

If i go to a smaller exhaust housing to get the thing coming on boost earlier and i am making about 190rwkws at 50km/h is it reasonable to assume i will still be getting good power down?

Gave the car its first hit at 1.3bar yesterday in 2nd thru 3rd gear...have to say the look on my face was as though i had just screwed the neighbours daughter:) So if the smaller housing means mroe response great, but if it means traction probs in 2nd gear then im less interested in the trade off?!?!?!?!?!!!?

I'd say you might start to get traction problems mate, as with more power + less speed, I reckon will result in wheel spin

Mine comes on pretty hard at about 50ish, haven't really looked at the speedo, but sometimes is does wheelspin, depends on the road surface etc

I'd wait until you get a few good laps in and see what its like on the track, I reckon it would be perfect!

LOL, i had that same look when i boosted my newly tuned GTS4 with 1.3bar.

It absolutely transforms the car compared with when it was stock, I'm sure you agree Roy :)

What size tyres and how sticky? We have been Running 205/50/16 in Targa, and will wear a set or two out at Basky next Month... but if I was starting from scratch I would be running 245/45/17. Propbably M1 Dunlops. The old D01J's are good for Rally, but suffer on the circuit.

We ran well in excess of -3deg camber with 225's and it was locking the inside fronts... rear still a little loose. Will come back a notch next time to give the front some push.

Seems like you have the kW, now you just need some grip...

Hi guys,

I'm just in the process of trying to work out which turbo to use on my RB20 R32 GTS-T. I've just had a Wolf 3d hooked up, and its already has a pump, regulator, front mont, full 3 inch exhaust - you know all the usual backup gear.

Has anyone used a hi flow VG30DET turbo, or am I betterff getting something like a trust unit. I only want 200rwkw, but would like a good useable band of power.

I'll have a dyno graph over the next few days to post with the stocker in place.

and then sold the RB20DET top end for $300 to a guy who put it on an RB30 bottom end, go figga :wassup:

I didn't think you could put the rb20 head onto the rb30 bottom end? Is what your saying just a miss type? Or can it really be done?

Using my Rb20 head would be a lot more easy, then looking for an rb25 head if I went that way with a motor build up.

My Budget RB20DET-

Imported with HKS Super Dragger exhaust and K&N Big Mother air pod

Added TurboSmart boost controller - $250, dynoed @ 150rwkw

Added Dump Pipe - $300

Added Cold Air Induction - Free

Added RB25 Turbo - $350

Added Front-Mount - $500 (inc pipes, see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=47918)

Added additional Cold Air Induction - $50

Next I want to remap the ECU and then it's time to Dyno it again. Hopeing to be around 200rwkw for around $1K. Then that's it with RB20DET, move on before blowing the budget.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
