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).

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
