LOL it was a DR30 and in car film . Its on the video "The Great race , the Turbolent years Bathurst 1986 - 1992" . Great driving for basically an overgrown Datsun 1600 with a top endy FJ20ET .

It was interesting to watch the R31's race , they appeared to be driven on the rev limit everywhere .

show me graphs of an rb20 and an sr20 with the same turbo, this will be a good comparison... not based on whether 6 cylinders is better then 4, but rather a direct engine to engine comparison

i think i can answer this one

2 180sx's....one has a 1992 SR20DET redtop with a HKS2530 @ 1.2bar, 600x300x80mm FMIC, 3" exhuast, apexi intake, power FC, HKS 550cc injectors, walbro 550HP pump, OS giken twinplate Clutch - on a very convservitive dyno (at a dyno day) it made 191.8rwkw. stock cams/internals

the other 180sx, has a 1992 RB20DET, with a HKS2530 @1.1bar(same turbo), 600x300x80mm FMIC (same IC), 3" exhuast (same), K&N intake, GTR fuel pump, stock injectors but a FPR (fuel pressure regulator) and a SAFC tuned with the stock computer. it made (at the same dyno day, a few mins after the other 180sx) 192.0rwkw. stock cams/internals

virtually identical power - the torque curves were interesting.....the SR20 was higher untill 4000rpm where the RB took over.....so the SR has the lower end...but it fell away from 6000rpm...where the RB stayed strong to 8000rpm. i worked out the "approx" area under the graphs....the RB had it by about 10% more...due to the wider power band.

now...when racing....from a standing start....the SR wins untill mid-end of 2nd gear, where the RB pulls on it....then by the time 4th comes...its pulled 1.5-2 lengths - its a similar situation when racing supra's...RB takes over in 2nd and continues to pull away...on a rolling start its RB all the way...from 110kph in 3rd gear (4500rpm in the RB , PERFECT from launching from) it nails the SR

the top end of the RB helps here......

i guess u should come to ur own conclusions about these "results" :(

i'll have some results for this thread next week.

rb20det stock internals

HKS gt2530

cam gears

gtr pump

3 inch -> 3 1/2 inch exhaust

ARC fmic

nismo fpr

gtr 444cc injectors....about to be installed

splitfire coil packs

power fc .....about to be installed

Blitz ebc (running .9bar)

hoping for some good response and about 190rwkw

hopefully next week to be taken to jim at CRD to put the finishing touches on it. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes.

also id like to add

the 2 cars are VERY similar in handling!!!

the RB seems to have made little to no difference

Roy : the RB20 180sx is going into the shop on monday :), injectors, wolf 3d management, tune @ 1.3bar

glad to here that some one else realizes that they handle just fine with the rb20 up front.

over here stateside there is a stigma about the rb series being "massively" heavier thus making your handling crap.

i had no problems with my car, and it was tons of fun to drive, especialy sideways.

My R31 GTSR was returned to me on Monday.

Mods are: GTR injectors, walbro pump, custom fuel rail and all new lines. Exhaust, pod and ecu.

The rest is standard, remembering GTSR had a TO3/4E from factory.

I also removed all the butterflies and the spindle from the sandwich plate between head and inlet manifold.

Results were 225rwkw @ 13psi and 170rwkw @ 6-7psi.

correct - dyno runs are only good for comparison if 2 cars are run beside each other

the 2 cars that i compared have both made over 220rwkw on different dynos

i just used the 190rwkw runs as example as thats what they both made a few mins apart on a the same dyno.

Regarding the 220 on another dyno...exactly. There is another thread at the moment stating a certain power level...and from the experiences of a friend his car made 20rwkws more then what his car typically makes...so comparing power figures from different dynos is a waste of time.

A lot of ppl claim massive wheelspin probs at 200rwkws in an R32 GTST, so with 222rwkws and no wheelspin at all in 2nd let alone 3rd, i question my power figure:(

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
