Because it has such a nicer spread of power now i dont rev it as hard. Shift lights start at 6,500rpm, and the dash flashes at me at 7,500rpm. The dash lights didnt flash on either of those laps, normally only the first two lights (@250rpm intervals) so shifting at around 7,000rpm.

The drop in revs used makes the water temps lower as well, i assume it will run lower oil temps as well. So all good

Here is an earlier lap. It was my first go at trying to get a decent time so still the lines are up the clacker

Roy that looks AWESOME !!

i just mine tuned with the hks manifold and FF plenum. The 2535 is running out of efficiency, only way to make more power is to fit a bigger turbo, altough it would be tough to fit it on the low mount mani.

I think shes ready for some track runs now ! ill b going to WSID first then in July to the SAU track day...

that curve looks fantastic for an rb25, when do you start seeing decent boost/power?

It is an RB20. It builds boost and you feel the increase in torque around 3,800rpm but it doesnt really boogie until 4,3000-4,500rpm

Jnr...any pics of the plenum? Did you make more power in the mid, top end...whats your general feeling?

Why would you spend all that money putting in an RB25 to make 200rwkws max. When for less money you can bolt on a nice turbo and keep the big brother honest :thumbsup:

And it has been reliable. I would like to see how a full 2835 setup would go an RB20. GT30R seem to work well as well, but you are perhaps throwing away a bit too much 3,500-4,500 power to make the big top end. Still those that have done it are still quicker then me over the qtr so...GT30R obviously works as well :)

That is very very impressive power for an RB20, has a nice good power band. Looking at that I tend to agree, at least if you aren't using it on the road - bang for buck looks like a matched turbo in an R32 is a good way to go. A GT2871R should be quite nice on one as well.

Nicely done ;)

Its all top end now, at the price of loosing some down low. Its all happening between 7000 - 7500rpm.

Doesnt fry the 265s like i would of thought as the curve is fairly linear down low...

here is a pic of the plenum...

For those that care. Engine ran like a train again today. Upped the revs back to 8,200rpm to get out of the slow corners at Sandown. No data logger in the car so no idea what boost i was running. It was either 16 or 19psi. Either way it was pulling away from most other cars on the day. The only quicker rwd car was a race prepped Datsun 1600 which was quickest car on the day. Then it was two built GTRs, a built an cgaed STI then me. So the motor is strong. Only wish the brakes and suspension were up to the task.

At the moment, the car is slower then the engine, so need to sort the rest of the car to show how strong the lil 20 is :P

I like the look of that plenum :(

where did you buy the plenum from and for how much?

how hard was it to bolt up and get everything working right, as i see you kept the standard throttle body...

any pics of the plenum before you bolted it to the engine :cool:

As I dont have a current dyno sheet to confirm my place in this topic, i guess i will have to get a print out from somewhere soon :) My car weighs 920kg and does 11.08 @ 118 mph so i would suspect it would be around the low to mid 200kw mark. I am still using the std RB20 AFM so the low 200kw mark would probably be more realistic :yes:

Troy, I've read all 64 pages. Truly amazing, man. Never thought that a dark horse like RB20 could make such power on stock bottom end. I think u haven't replaced the gasket yet, right ?

Anyway, I've seen one of your vids on youtube. It seems you lost control there, spun and hit something with the rear of your car. You ok ? How is the r32 ? Minor damage I guess ? Good luck man ! Really educating topic!

Its a Stryder plenum, unfortunately they dont make them anymore... paid 600...

it would have been easy to bolt on it the std runners were flat, it wasnt until it was all in that i realised that it was warped and air was going in from outside, had to get it machined flat, and it was all sweet... both AAC and IAC valves are working fine....

Did a 12.55 last week at WSID , I will be going back soon to try out the Anti-lag feature on the Haltech...

Yeh it was a bid lose, bit cheated a big accident at 200km/h+ . The tyre marks buffed off, the dent was kicked out and im back out there this weekend fanging it. it doesnt look great, but people will walk by and not notice, so reall, really lucky. No headgasket etc, compeltely std RB20.

jnr32r...awesoem work, what mph and reaction time. Also the tyres you were running. LOL want to see another person run a low 12 so i dont have to :(

Roy further more to our PM's.....

I just bought a 2535 today and im gonna give that a shot before i step up to a TD06 or 2835. Like JNR im hoping for a 12sec pass which i dont think should be too much of an issue (being 4WD).... Unsure if the added weight will hamper that possibility though, but launching it, that is if my gearbox is up to it, should net me a 12... Any thoughts anyone?

BTW being 4WD am i cheating lol....

Either way as soon as the results are in i will post 1/4 times, RWKW and AWKW.

Fark, you mean where the plenum bolts onto the head yer? Better check my Ku Engineering one to see if its all shweet.

Roy: on Mickey Thompsons 255/60/15, see attached time slip. I only got 1 run on the MTs as the previous 3 were on shity falken zeis... Next time im out im aiming for 11.999 (just so that i can say i have an 11sec unopened rb20). Although I think power is limiting factor to get there @ 235rwkw.

MADGT4: Weight is a big factor, I weighed mine @ work the day before the drags and it came back at 1320Kg without driver and 1/4 fuel in tank. I think that being awd is equivalent to having a rwd r32 with MTs. So my guess is that you should get a mid 12 if ~220 - 250 rwkw

Wheezy: It can be difficult to see if it is actually warped, if in any doubt i suggest to get it machined ~$40-80. Or put it on surface that is dead flat and look for any gaps especially on the ends...

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
