ah sweet mite have to pop in there and grab some. yeah the cars coming along just about ready for a tune in the next few weeks. just a few little things that i gota clean up

Cool, sound like you guys are doing well.

Question, you guys seem to know about cams. I have some HKS cams that I got and was wondering what kind of response they might have in my car. The cams are 272 measurements. I have a stock R32 GTS-T with cat back exhaust 3 or 4 inch I believe.

i reckon +3 IN -6 EX is about right given thats pretty much what Roy's using.

Was it, i mean is it? Since we had the head to head i had the thing tuned again with and without the cams. Working on the tune with the std cams yielded better results. So i have no idea what they are set at presently. If thats what they were set at (possibily still there) then it wouldnt hurt as a starting point

LOL..i dont thin many if us really know exactly about the cams as not many people do the cams in insolation, with a good tuner before and the same tuner installing and tuning the car post cams for a true test.

That all said, unless you have a serious RB20 the cams you have are figgin huge for a 2L six

So they are too big? I was planning on putting in a RB25 turbo, maybe a trust FMIC(nothing too big, don't want alot of lag), fuel pump and 550cc injectors, split front pipe, sports cat, boost controller, and a Emanage for the ECU and get tuned. I might put the FMIC last, not sure if want a bigger FMIC.

Thats what they were set to when Sam looked at it - pretty sure..

went to start the old girl last night to prime the system with oil an wat not. and all the frickin headlight wiring decided it'd let all its smoke out from underneath the plastic. dunno wat the cause of it was still tryin to find out why. yet another set back :(

Thats running a big exgaust housing! May make the setup a little laggier then ideal

same as my old car used to have roy... seems huge but works well

also tread bump because soon ill be back in the rb20 game, thinking along the lines of 125hp shot of nos on a standard rb20 with 25 turbo :)

rb20 4 lyfe

quick question

who is making over 260rwkw still running standard cams, springs and plenum?

please list forum names (for contact) and mods if you know

Ive had a look through this thread and also the rb20 turbo upgrade thread already

not sure if people are leaving off plenum mods or if they havent got any

basically Im after soild over 260 figs to count out high reading dyno's seems alot of guys are hitting the 250-260 not may going over that though

the only one I know of is the one my work bought in full drap setup stroker with 26 plenum mod'd for q45 tb t78 full step 3 head job

or if you prefer whats the limit of standard 20 head and plenum?

Edited by 1400r

Another question, Im loking for a forward facing plenum for my RB20, are there any off the shelf ones available? Or Will I have to go a custom job?

Would also be interested in knowing what effect it will have....

(BTW Ryan, Ill be in tomorrow arvo to put some cash on that TD06....)

Huddy'e emo lets see if we can get to the bottom of the problem

i am running std inelt manifold, std cans, std springs, std throttle body and std GTR injectors in the std rail with std fuel reg. If i put an aftermarket fuel reg on it i will be able to wind a bit more out of the gTR injectors. I have only dyno'd my car with 19psi but i have run it at as high as 22psi but shouldnt because i am maxing out the GTR injectors. That and my means of boost control isnt great fdor trying to get that much boost into it from an 8psi spring.

I also made 245rwkws or something on a Mainline dyno that always read lower then Dyno Dynamics by 20rwkws odd.I think i was running abotu the same boost as the above graph. Juts need more injectors to squeeze a few more kws out of it, but thats only for the sake of chasing a number. Which i dont care about, as long as the car is fast and reliable at the track

here you go,

http://www.nismo.com.au/pricelists/priceli...ylineengine.htm

scroll down and search for "UAS PLAZMAMAN RB20DET CUSTOM PLENUM"

Thats a very nice plenum. Kinda pricey though

(I know you cant get "good" and "cheap" in the same sentence, but Im not super keen on spending that much if it's gonna make 5 5ths of f**k all difference)

I can get this one made for $350 cheaper (all internal bellmouthed/smoothed/match ported etc.) or have it installed and cooler piping get all my cooler piping modded for roughly the same price as the UAS kit.

Although Id still have to get new cooler piping made, so Id be realistically looking at a $1500 - $1800 proposition by the time im done, and might not gain very much at all from that? Be better off buying some cams and more tuning I reckon.

I still wouldnt mind doing it simply to remove the 3.5 foot of piping off the top of the motor, and neaten it all up I guess.....

Go to www.ripsltd.co.nz

He does rb20det plenums for about 1000aud, you wont find much better, the quality and fit is perfect! I had one on my old r32 gtst, i can try and post some pics if you need them?

I can get the one I posted for about $1100 - $1200 fully Installed..... modded piping and everything. I know we're talking about a couple of hundred dollars here, but to me thats a shitload easier. Drop it off and pick it up done.

Reckon there's probably more/better/cheaper gains to be made in cams and tuning.

Anyone else care to comment on this?

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
