Personally im thinking i dont really want to throw away the nice long runners of the std RB20 inlet manifold. Has anyone actually put one of thee short runner manifolds on and gained torque?

I have a spare inlet manifold that i am tweaking to see if i can get a bit more out of the RB20...it will be a purely back to back test so will be interesting to see my results?

The gibson HR31 used the standard over the top plenum and still made some serious power (300kw+). I'd personally leave it as it is unless you really have run out of room.

i have a std inlet plenum,throttle body, cams, gears, springs, the entire motor was unopend and were making 300rwkw! 405rwhp to be exact, lasted over 6 months on that power befor i changed the setup and added cams and a new turbo, it recently gave way haha

and the lesson there adam

if it aint broke... haha

what's the plans for the future?

too right there, we lean on this thing so hard its crazy its lasted a solid year of 20psi+ of boost haha

i honestly cant say yet because i really dont know! we're looking into building the 20 but its going to come down too how much we can squeese out of the 20 head in terms of flow.. probobly have an attack plan in a couple weeks

DAMN, wish I had just changed my Inlet manifold after a dyno tune then compared it again.

That would have answered all these front face inlet manifold questions! :/

BUT I didn't! :rofl:

Changed a whole heap of things at the same time inc the highflow turbo...

LOL so its still running, with blowing out hte dip stick and blow by or is it proper farked ? :)

hahah yeah it still runs,cable tied the dip stick in :rofl: still gets a bit off boost aswell haha :/ the 20 just wont give up in a big way!

OK, so I dont quite have 260kw yet, but I thought I'd share about my motor while you're on that subject.

I'd been running around on about 270 hp with my RB20 which was probably a bit too lean. Ran strong for a few months with 16 psi, took it to the track and blew up on the first run. 1st and second gear felt like a bat out of hell! I felt a surge of power after hooking 3rd gear and babied it across the line for a 14.0 @105mph. Popped the hood, found had blown out the PCV considerably, and I had audible piston slap.

I drove the car for another 2-3 months before I had another motor lined up. When it was time to kill the car, I raced a buddy's 88 civic hatch with a b18. I got about 2-3 cars ahead (100mph or so) and looked back only to see a giant cloud of smoke left behind. Parked it a mile later and tore out the motor.

I think the moral of the story is the RB20 is stout as hell, and no matter how low the compression, it has too much pride to let itself loose to a honda.

I have a new motor in my car now, and a few mods that I'm just hoping to get over the 300whp mark with

Garrett t3, .60ar compressor .48 ar turbine 60 trim

tomei poncams

mild port/polish

supra 440cc's/nismo FPR

reflashed ECU

SAFC

I'll post a dyno graph asap, so I can actually contribute something of worth to this thread!

just so everyone knows, adam may claim all this power but he does drive little a nanna :D

jks, he absolutley belts the shit outta that car, 3th gear peeling lines in traffic. got more mental problems than me

in all seriousness, i cant wait to get back to the dark side of rb20 love!!!

What is the most anyone has gotten out of stock cams with adjustable cam gears? I'm looking for about 300rwhp or about 482rwkph. I have lots of other mods, so I do know they will effect my capability, but they will allow for that power range. Right now, the cams are the only thing holding me back for being able to breathe. Thanks mate.

300rwhp or what?

I am making about 340rwhp with std cams, valve springs, head, plenum, throttle body etc. I run a Greddy exhaust manifold and HKS cam gears. So doesnt seem to hurt power too much...i havce tried one set of cams with less then spectacualr results. So just be careful when chsoing cams to make sure they suit the turbo/engine configuration

wow... sorry Roy about the rwkph. I was trying to say miles per hour and translated that to kilometers per hour in some other computation and somehow got it mixed up with my horsepower computations and such. Been trying to figure out several things here, but you answered my question entirely. Shit, I dont know how many times you have helped me in both answering my questions and with the many posts you have done in the past. I will be posting my power here hopefully in the next month or two. Finally I'll be about satisfied with it.

to back that up... i'm in the club now!!!

RB24 - GT3076r (.63 IW)

standard head/cams/cam gears set on 0/standard throttle body/standard plenum.

i'm looking into some poncams and hoping to get a bit more out of it.

possible wheelspin up top also??

this was with rev limit at 7200.

rev limit is now at 7500

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
