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

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
