This thread is now nine months old.

It's taken some time to get some of the bit's together, mostly finding the money.

The budget build idea died some time ago but I still need to ensure I get value for money.

So far I've fitted a hybrid fmic and done the piping myself, new plugs and coils, 040 pump, fujitsubo catback and I've got a power fc that is still in it's box until I get a new turbo and split dump to cat.

Since fitting the fmic it seems to hit boost a bit later and it feels sort of 'elastic' or not as hard hitting but in the top end the car feels a fair bit quicker.

I'm tempted to fit the pfc now and add boost control but a new turbo is not too far away and I don't want to pay to tune it twice.

I'm still running the stock boost which has actually lost 2psi (9 down to 7psi) over the past few months for some reason.

This was before the fmic but didn't change when it was fitted

Why would it be losing boost? I don't think there is a leak.

most of the the time you will lose boost when fitting the the FMIC not sure why it didn't do it straight away but it is good that you got the PFC, cause that way you can get it tuned lots of different places your not stuck for places for tuning as i don't know alot of places around me that remap ECU's just wait till you get you turbo then would get the injectors and FPR fit it all and then you should see 220+ rwkw running on fairly safe boost, even though i have heard of some guys on here running 20psi + for a couple of years now with stock internals and there car still drives day in day out i guess they are just lucky, personaly i don't like going over 16psi gives you a bit of leeway

hey guys,

just had a few quick questions about the set-up on my r32 i recently-ish baught.

The car is currently runnig:

HKS 2530 Turbo

Hybrid FMIC

Greddy Emanage

GTR Fuel Pump

GTR Injectors

GTR Fuel Lines

3" Dump Pipe/Exhaust

It made 200rwkw on 13psi

Im wondering what range is it safe to adjust the boost both hi and low, i like to keep the boost down in the winter due to crappy melbourne weather,but turn it up on the dyno and track.

So what is the safest boost i can run both low and high?

Is it worth getting a thicker grex headgasket to run a bit more boost/safer on this boost?

What other areas of the engine should i look at improving?

Cheers

The RB20 already runs a pretty turbo friendly 8.5:1 compression, and being a 2L motor i wouldnt recommend de-compressing the engine with a thicker head, especially when the cost of buying/installing the gasket soon gets pricey.

By the sounds of it the car has most of the bits it needs, id wind a few more psi into it, up to about 15psi, and if you really need to spend some money then get an oil cooler...then spend the rest of your money going to the track and enjoying the car :)

...and as for losing boost pressure with a fmic? I actually found that my boost level climbed a few psi with the cooler i installed

hey guy just dynoed my 32 GTS-T today and making 170 kw on 1 bar,

my currently set up is all stock engine except FMIC,Sard fuel regulator,hi flow cat and exhaust and lastly e-manage.

PS-is this a gd figure or just a normal one.

I made 186rwkw the other day at Bresciani Racing

Specs Are

RB20DET (Silver top)

Hybrid copy intercooler

RB25 Turbo ( has steel wheel conversion) running 17psi

3" exhaust

Pod Filter

I maxed the injectors out on the dyno run

so for more power I will need GTR injectors, Bosh 044 fuel pump, Microtech LT8

hey fellas just wondering how much they make stock atw? most of you have around the 180rwkw mark so i just wanted to know how big of an improvment you gained......

Thanks

110-115rwkw's standard i believe!

Mine is auto i only made 232rear wheel horsepower (170rwk)

Front mount (china brand)

XFORCE exhaust no cat.

apexi filter

gtr injector

040 fuel pump

GCG stage 2 hiflow r33 turbo

Rom tune (chip that goes into standard computer)

not a very good budget as it costa fair bit all up

---==Thread Hijack Alert==---

they make 160kw at flywheel but

and to add insult to injury, the sr20det is 162... with more midrange. And less weight.

But as I am about to come into possesion of a stock rb20det, I would like to know how much gets to the road (as per my sig...)

heck, if anyone knows what an rb20 can do for all the wheels, I'd like to know too (gts-4, you see). So one day I can see where I've been

:)

Ok, this is how you make 200rwkw on an RB20DET with as little mods as possible.

Highflow stock turbo or Highflow RB25 (preferably)

PWR front mount intercooler (connects to factory pipework)

Exhaust - 3 inch all the way with a nice split dump

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Rising Rate reg of some sort

Remapped ECU (not absolutely necessary but makes it safer when you are running 18 psi boost)

18 psi Boost - Don't be a pussy, the engine and everything around it can handle it as long as the tune is good and semi fat.

Total cost of around $5200 including labour.

at that stage you injectors will be 101% duty cycle and AFM practically maxed out.

so add:

gtr injectors : $300

resistor pack : $30

z32 AFM (new): $420

instalation $300 (rough)

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
