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).

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
