On the R31house site, they show a GTSR resto and it shows a brand spankers turbo so obviuosly they are available but I agree it would have cost a bomb.

I have the homologation papers for the GTSR and it doesnt show any turbo changes but I guess it doesnt really mean anything as there was a lot of "grey" areas.

OK, I need a PC literate person here atm. I scanned the graph and the file size is over 11mb.

Obviuosly too big but how do I reduce the file size so I can upload it?

If it isnt already save it as a jpeg, then try changing the resolution to something lower, around 500x500 ish should be good, depends on what program you are using as to how you do this.

If this worked here is the graph. A LOT smoother tune than previous where boost ramped so hard it wheel span in third and almost in fourth. Now it is a lot more linear and just pulls away very hard in third with no sign of spin at all.

What kind of turbo was used to make that much power on an RB20? thats awesome! i thougth the old school T04 setup the gtsr's had wouldnt make anywhere near that power & still be reasonably responsive. is full boost around 4000rpm?

216rwkws at 4,500 rpm. I so hope that is a stock RB20:)

The old RB20 has plenty of legs if you spend th emoney in the right places....Hell they won the ATCC in 1990 so they cant be too bad a thing:)

The more i see posted here, the more i think that you need a good exhaust manifold if you want to have any power between 3,500 and 4,500rpm.

Makes me a little paranoid about how good the cast HKS manifold i have will go?

All this taslk about ball bearing turbos, 2835s being great...i figure ill give one a go and see how it compares...then either the TD06 or the 2835 will be for sale

that sounds like a great comparison! I take it will be the same racepace dyno and tuner? :P

just get 1 run on the dyno again with the TD06 set up so you are sure of the base numbers, as if the dyno has been recalibrated or so settings changed then your old numbers will not be entirely comparable.

anyway, i already can't wait to see the results! :P

roy, ive got the hks cast mani on my rb20 and havent had a problem yet with it.

Yeh, but are the runner lenghts etc as ideal as my tubular Trust manifold, or a GTS-R manifold. Im not sure, and my friend who knows more then i will ever know doubts the 2835 with cast manifold will keep up wiht the TD06...which makes me htink perhapsi need to hunt down a HKS tubular manifold or even better another Trust manifold, and just modify the flange...then it will be a good comparision

Yeh, but the Trust flange uses a 3 bolt flange. If i run the same manifold then any difference will be the turbo.

If i can get a Trust one and change the flange on it, it would be an interesting comparison as it would be same engine, same manifold and gate, same tuner and dyno....the only variable would be the turbo.

not sure if you would want to do this but OBX (read: dodgy copy parts) here stateside makes a turbo manifold which is an EXACT copy of the trust one, might be worthwhile picking one up if you are going to be hacking it up anyways as they are fairly cheap to be had and to me dont look anyworse than a trust unit.

i too have wondered about the efficiency of the hks unit but it seems to be working fine so no need to change it imho.

nice power fatgts-r

until 4500 it is very similar to my graph but then opens can of woop arse on mine top end... so there goes roys theory of the manifold being needed :D

hopefully with a bit more boost (aka 20psi) i should be seeing a similar curve to yours just a little less top end more like 250rwkw. but then again i might get all happy and try and run 22psi as well as see how well she goes

im about to do a au falcon coil pack conversion to see if it fixes my miss, ill let u guys know how it goes

But isnt your APexi turbo only a 320hp turbo, their equivelant to a 2530? If thats the case i would hope it matches his up 4,500rpm?!?!?!?!

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
