are u still using the td06 20g 8cm turbo roy? has anything else changed between me readin pages 1 thru 60 lol? do u use adjustable cam gears?

Nothing has really changed with my engine. Just running more boost then i use to. I have cam gears though i dont recall the settings. I think the best bet is to have your tuner play with them to find the happy mediul you are after

Its not really on song until 4,500rpm. With bad tyres thats when traction becomes a bit wigidy wigidy :D With semis thats where it just grips and pulls.

And in the true terms of lag, say i shift back to 3rd at 100km/h which equates to say 5,000rpm...if i floor it it shoudl boost quikcly as its in the rpm it makes full boost. If you look at this delay as lag then it does take about 1 second to clear its lungs and pull. Thats where i have been ina few other cars and when up int he rev range they do punch quicker with a little less lag. But we are talking fractions of a second. The only place to use the power is the track anyway and when you know about it you just drive around it.

I made the decision recently no more money is beign spent on the car after my Jan pay, so since i wont have enough cash to finish the new motor odds are the old RB20 will get the new water pump, idler/tensioner, timing belt and 260/8.8 cams i have laying around.

You watch, now that i need the current motor to last unitl Oct 07 so will pull boost back to 18psi, the thng will go bang. Its always the way, when you care it all goes to shit. When you couldnt care less they just keep on truck'n

Thread revival time :D

I just read the entire thread back to front so I may be a little incoherent :D

Roy's TD06 gave me a little inspiration to do some research into Mitsu turbo's and I'm very impressed. Found this page for specs - http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/sho...ead.php?t=26477

TD05-16G (small) 345-365hp @ 22 psi

TD06-16G (large) 365-385hp @ 22 psi

TD06-20G 430-450hp @ 22 psi

I'm leaning towards the TD05H-16G at the moment for a goal of 300rwhp (~225kw). Is this being realistic?

There seem to be alot of slightly different turbo variations ranging from 340 - 400hp. The main goal is just to have a streetable car thats a bit faster than your average RB20. Anything over 300rwhp would be a bonus, a very very nice bonus :)

A few questions for the wise... since the turbo is only oil cooled, will I have to get an oil cooler to keeps temperatures down?

Is a high or low mount setup recommended?

My plan is to get a china manifold and chop the T3 flange off an weld on a new one to suit, likewise the dump pipe (though slightly more work...)

Lastly, will the internal gate be alright or should I be looking at an external gate and weld the internal up?

Thanks in advance

i would fit an oil cooler anyways since the std rb20 doesnt have one unlike the 25 and 26...

besides coolers are cheap, source a volvo 760 turbo in the yard and grab the cooler from it they are setrab units and are farking huge!

the cooler i have is from an 89ish turbo and measures 100mm tall x 285mm long x 50mm thick, rather beastly indeed.

pick up a mocal adaptor plate and some hose and you will be mint.

Dont let a good thing die!

Gave it another good workout on the weekend at a skidpan day. Because its 2007 and i need the engine to hold together until after my OS trip i wound the boost back to 1 bar and the rev limit back to 7,400rpm. Still drove the wheels off the thing and again the engine has come through with flying colours.

Gearbox will rack up 190,000kms in the next fortnight and even its still holding up after 40,000kms of TD06.

April could be where it all goes pear shaped. After the weekend on street tyres i dont think i like how the car drives on road rubber, so doubt i will do a track day on street tyrs. This means the expense of yet another set of expensive semi slicks. So next Sandown if all is going well with the new diff, cams and rubber...the old girl will get a last ditch run at 1.5bar in an attempt to get a time out of the little RB20 :P

What happens in april ???

Sandown...its a bit of a running joke with the Vic track guys. 2 years ago 1:25 was considered pretty fast for a modded GTR. They are now going a lot quicker so i need to get all i can out of the RB20. So that means installing my cams and asking the tuner to fix up the air:fuels at way too much boost. I need 270rwkws and a bit more meat at 4,500rpm if im going to do the time i want.

can't wait to see results Troy :laugh:

Valve float could be a problem. But its not the sort of thing that I noticed when I last ran that boost. When its getting the tune checked for that boost if its not making the power it should then safe to say it could be a problem and we may need to wind boost back to a point where its making expected power for boost

are you going to get new valve springs when you get the cams installed? That should fix any valve float probs..?

I would go the performance springs ,I had a set of the gtr springs to go in this build but standard specs said they were only 24kg spring pressure which by many was considered not enough for my application at 22.5 boost . I got the performance springs for the gtr and tested them and they were double that

cheers Peter

P.s roy are u running adjustable cam gears ??? if so can you record what they set them at just wanna compare to my old set up

Forget valve springs. The RB20 is only getting the cams because the tune is a little light up top when i ran 20-22psi. It was only ever meant to run 15-18spi. So if the tune is going to get touched up may as well throw the timing belt, water pump and idler/tensioner that are laying around at it.

But no valve springs. Its a wrecker motor, and based on the fact it doesnt breath a single drop of oil i think its in pretty good health, I have only done 15,000kms on the engine.

So yeh, in my books the only good RB20 is an unopened RB20 :happy:

...i will note the cam gear settings pre cams and post cams. The tuner doesnt want me to try the cams...but fark it. If it loses a bit under 4,000rpm i wont be happy but hoefully it will help the top a little. The engine has a finite life anyway , so... Shits and giggles...how much can a std bottom end take :)

hahahahah yeah damn chasis just wasn't strong enough to fend of that pole engine was fine keeping it as a spare well my second spare never hurts to have to many spares .The engine in the new 32 I bought was a built engine but when I pulled it down for inspection it had major detanition in 1 and 6 rest of the engine was perfict.Mains and big ends looked new still but since it was down that far decided to rebuild it with 40thou oversized pistons (79mm) and put the rb25 crank in it pic's of the where im upto now are in my "again"

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
