Hi Lithius

Dom's car runs dont quote me on this

Gt3071 turbo high mount 40mm external waste gate snd screamer 780cc injectors ,fpr.fmic,3' exhaust loud, forward facing plenum mod,haltec E11V2 ecu ,rb25 box and 5puck clutch and he was running hooser semi slicks

My car

Hks cams ,hks cam gears,hks manifold low mount ,35mm hks external waste gate plumbed back in b4 cat ,fpr,fmic,550cc srad injectors,stabdard air box with hks panel filter and cai to4e turbo but that is the problem dosnt flow enough for engine 2 turner have both stated same thing so must be true hence new turbo on order gt3040r and haltec E11V2 ecu .Both engines running standard bottom ends oh and i ran M/T ET street semi slicks that night to for those times.

BOTH CARS TUNED BY HITMAN

Roy

If you call standard rb20det bottom ends as stock yes both cars are just bolt on's bitl my gearbox is rb25 though both cars are cant see an rb20 box taking that punishment

my clutch is an exceddy puck clutch but organic it being the weakest link in the chain its stuffed now only 2000klm old to :-( Oh well new clutch again .Roy I'd bet you had a lot more wheel spin than ya mate of the line hence ur higher mph speed but his quicker time SARCUSM HERE" just "kick his butt next time you can do it

Cheers Peter

Sp whats the verdict with regards to the better type of rubber between the hoosier and M/T???

Ill grab some 15" rims and try and get a tyre with a similar rolling diam as my semi slicks as i dotn want to change my overall gearing. Wrst case can go 15" rim but that requires way too much stuffign around.

I want an 11.999 god damn it...though ill never get it:)

Please run an 11 on a stock RB20:)

I cant recall reading if you are using the std gearbox? What clutch and diff is in the girl.

After the last track day in late October i want to hit the drags, my housemates poo RB25 thingie ran 0.1sec quicker then me, (but 3mph slower) cant have the quickest car in the house being an RB25:)

mine aim is 11 on stock box and rb20

dont think ill be too far off next time i get down there... getting off the line may be the biggest problem

hey roy

i've got some nice 256 poncam sitting next to me.....wanna test them out for me? You reakon a hks 2530 will spool up earlier with these cams?

btw you reakon the rb20 box with break with slicks on the rear???

Hi waldo

the .82 its the housing im waiting on garrett "say " they dont have any in the country at the moment

dude,

the A/R .82 on a GT3040R is way too big for an RB20DET, it will be too laggy. you'll see full boost b/w 4600-5000rpm, not ideal for a street car.

fyi, the turbo itself is too big given the size of the comp wheel. i'd recommend a GT30R with a .63, much better combination for a 2L engine.

i had a GT3040R on my engine (2L YBD sierra cosworth) with an A/R .63 and it was still laggy. full boost ~24psi was at 4200rpm with a very fast ramp up, hence - plenty of wheel spin.

just my 2c, but it's up to you.

I have no idea, but general consensus is that a small cam upgrade like the 256 poncams will see good results in mid and top end

As for gearboxes...i think it depends a lot on your driving styles :O

Will be no different to the plain bearing to4 im using now

but thanks

and you're happy with that?

then why change turbo's?

fyi, a properly setup engine with the GT30R (A/R .63) will be able to make up to 300rwkw with much less lag than what you're used to but anyway, again it's up to you.

just some info i found out last night when speaking to my friend (tuner/engine builder for PET Modifications) about RB20DET's, he told me that they built an RB20DET a few years back with forgies, uprated rod bolts, slight headwork, cams, Autronic, etc and managed to get 388rwkw out of it.

this thing was running a garrett T66 (with P-trim exhaust wheel) and lots of boost and was quite laggy, but none the less the power was made which i was amazed with. i didn't think RB20DET's could flow that well.

so RB20DET's aren't all that gutless after all, have a nice weekend ;-)

Come on ... dont be a tease, more details:)

What boost does it need to make that power, what does it drive liek, what other mods...and most importantly. How long have you been making the power for, and have you been giving it grief or looking after it at that power level???

cerbera.. where do you plan to lose 1sec from your previous best time?

Another 60+hp from 5psi more boost, power fc tune, new cooler etc etc. My car now with the pfc makes 1 bar of boost at 3500 instead of 4700+ than when i ran my 12.8 with the remap. Also hopefully a slightly faster 60" time :D

Its my aim... I'm not saying I'm going to be able to do it, I'll be happy with very low 12's for the moment

  • 4 weeks later...

Yeh it did 530atw on subzeros dyno last month on 35psi

but had issues at autosalon only running 25psi if pete turns it up it looses power, i no a fair bit about it as i have the same mechanic and i helped do a little work on it

it blew a no1 piston half track at jambo and was over 90mph at the half track mark so its going to run 10's i would say who knows maybe quicker

Edited by SLYAS 33

im hoping to be in this elite group soon....ive got a fmic, haltek e11, and my turbo rebuilt with t04 specs (been informed its good for 400hp) which all goes in in a few weeks, ive also replaced the fuel pump with a 210 L/ph pump...ive just done my clutch also, an exceedy ceramic gtr button which im hoping will handle the power...i hope hehe ive also got a set of tien fully adjustables going in on wednesday...ive heard they r pretty good...so im pretty excited, cant wait to get it on the road :D

does anyone want to have a guesstimate on the power ill be making?

    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
