Hi Guys

just got back the results of the flow tests between the rb20 standard manifold and the hks cast manifold will mark these 1 to six front to back

standard HKS cast

1. 159.7 170.7

2. 162.4 166.6

3. 160.7 178.7

4. 150.6 183.6

5. 149.9 182.2

6. 173.3 184.7

As you can see all flow pretty well and a marked inprovement over standard but you'll have to draw your own conclusions if the flow improvement is what your after for the cost although afe did state the these are very well made the casting quality was some of the best his seen and flow extremely well for a cast manifold a worthwile investment over standard and he was kinda wondering why they stoped making them . One other thing he said to me was not to tell anyone you have one as he said you'd probably surprise some people with the way the car goes even in standard form to say the least i think it impressed him and that statment coming from someone who deals with these sorts of things daily makes for an impressive statement

Cheers Peter

So who can tell me the internal diameters of the Rb20DE, RB20DET, RB25DE, RB25DET and VG45 throttle bodies?

I figure the Mitsu boys love boring out their throttle bodies for a few extra kws...

And has anyone looked at the alignment of inlet manifold to the head? I figure if the extrude honing isnt too expensive then i will get the inlet manifold flowed, match port it to the head, throw a bigger throttle body on it and see how it goes....

I looked at the inlet manifold porting to the head when i fitted my motor up together. Basically there was sfa difference. I just took out the 1 or 2 mm here and there that was the difference. I was suprised how well the std nissan stuff was matched Roy. Using the gasket as a template and a rotary tool it took only like a few mins to get it spot on...

Extrude honing the inlet would be good as well as the exhaust manifold. As far as i know the tb is about 2.5" (same as ic piping/afm ~80mm) and the VH45 is about 90mm (same as the afm)

Several years ago (there is thread on it), we flow bench tested a standard RB20 cylinder head, inlet manifold plenum and throttle body up to airflow sufficient to make 500 bhp. It showed no improvement when we removed the throttle body completely. So fitting a larger diameter throttle body is a waste of time and money until at least 300 rwkw is reached. It maybe even more than that, we stopped testing at 500 bhp.

:) cheers :D

Funny you say, the new baby is shooting for 300-330rwkws, so whilst its all apart may take the time for a small improvement here and there

i take it your not doin that on std internals? I was thinking of trying a hks 2835 pro or hks gt-rs and see what sort of number i can pull with a low mount

hopefully soon we'll see how a HKS Fcon V Pro will perform on a RB20 minus AFM...

already seen. performs well, thats IF you can find someone to tune it. atm i'm waiting on a tuner over here in SA that says he's trying to develop some software for it. other than that its only BD4s that can tune them AFAIK.

as soon as i can get it tuned the turbo will be downsized.

bd4's is the plan

hope the dont shut down! lol

fwiw hks gt3037 = gt30r.

i cant wait to get my engine back together, with proper compression (175psi vs 140psi) the turbo should come on harder and faster with better response.

least i hope it does.

Without a doubt it'll be alot faster.

You can get an 044 to fit internal - I've got 1 in my '33.

Bit more stuffing around but possible.

so i can get the 044 to be an intank pump? would it be just the same as installing the 019? the 019 was a fairly long pump...im just asking as everywhere ive researched everyone keeps saying its an external pump...so im just clarifying

thanks

chris

I have a q45 trotthle body right here. Its 85 mm on the inlet side and 83mm at the valve side.

Was planning to use it on my rb20det after the head is flowed and a custom manifold is mounted, but maybe its a bit to big. Maybe trade it for a rb25 body orso.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
