This is all too easy, and way too much fun these days.

Just got back from Winton Raceway, only did two sessions so about 10 laps...but at 18psi and 8,000rpm rev limit (shifting around 7,000-7,5000rpm) the engine ran well:)

Do have a problme though, my piping has a boost leak somehwere that meant i wasnt able to continue after the second session:(

  • 4 weeks later...

I had to dig up this old post........gotta love it.

This is what was pushed out of my rb20det.....with 2530 and rest to support 200rwkw. It isnt quite what roy has, i wish. ;)

Could someone also tell me how to convert kph to rpm on the graph....i saw a post once explaining the formula.....but i cant find it. :)

Hey, that looks nice and punchy, :)

What bosot is it running? Im off to Eastern Creek today so should have a tale to tll tonight:)

Cool, email me at [email protected] and ill send over a spreadsheet, either that or tell me the tyre you are running and brand, as you need th etyre circumference to work it out...its pretty easy to do:)

sure no worries

turbo = 2530

booost = spikes to 18 then tapers off to 16psi

ecu = power fc

gtr pump

gtr injectors

cam gears

front mount cooler

blitz ebc

i dont like running that much boost on the road.

i wish i could have full boost by 3500rpm....make it even better.....maybe i'm asking too much :rofl:

u mind if i ask who tuned your car... ill be putting in pfc pretty soon looking for a tuner for my 32

going by the dyno sheet, Croydon Racing Developments..... :P

Good power, seems a bit like mine up top, drops boost and power just after 6000, although mine drops of a bit more than that

Looking at that result i say the 2530 has to be one of the best bolt on options with the RB20, perhaps the 2535 will make a bit more power...but who knows for sure.

One thing that seems evident is that a good manifold and a good external wastegate seems to help the things make power. My turbo seems line ball with the 2530 down low but makes a bit more up top...but you have to question the value, the wastegate and manifold alone are worth what the 2530 goes for...then you have to buy the turbo and plenty more in the way of lines and piping:( So is the extra 15-20rwkws worth the expense???? If i want to run 20psi and make the power then its handy but 18psi day to day is enough for the dry

The 2530 seems to be the go, but interesting that boost even falls over at high revs on the RB20:confused:

What brand / size exhaust and cat are you running?

Oh on another note on my old girl, the only drama after 6 x 20min sessions in the wet at Eastern Creek was a tired alternator about 15mins into the last session, where voltage dropped to the point where i got a misfire and steering went heavy. Another alternator in and she is good to go:)

So that just about 120min of spinning around on a wet track with either 12 or 15psi, i cant remember what the low boost setting is...lol i need to get my boost gauge working....and not a drama:)

The catch can is still empty with only a bit of mist on the hose walls :D

Looking at the latest dyno sheet for mine, I have approx 600rpm more lag than the 2530 (running 1bar) but power doesnt drop of untill around 7000rpm. Thats with std manifold modded to accept the external gate. Waiting on a stiffer gate spring so we can wind up the boost and give it a proper tune (hopefully the stiffer spring and tuning will reduce the lag slightly).

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
