Hi guys,

Had my car tuned recently and many people have looked at the chart and think its a high possibility that the capacity has been raised on my RB20. Personally, I think its still a 2 litre but with so many people thinking otherwise I thought I would post it here to get a few more thoughts.

Engine: RB20DET - Red top eccs 12 port.

Mods: (R31 GTSR) Factory front mount, TO3/4E, long runner exhaust manifold ( black hpc ), pod ( no cai ), 3 inch exhaust and stand alone management. 12 psi.

So whats peoples thoughts?

Im voting its a 2.0L

But im thinking your turbo setup makes a bit more power lower down then mine. Im installing a new housing on my turbo this week so will hopefully look a little more like yours when im done, but i think you will find somehting with 2.5L will make a bit more ramping on to boost at 3,500-3,800rpm

Some forgies and 2.2L perhaps:)

Been looking for this thread.:cheers:

I know for a fact that my engine is std, and my figures are as follows:

3,500rpm - 78rwkws your making about 4rwkws more then me:) So im guessing its a std displacement RB20.

What i really want to know is the turbo the std GTS-R turbo? The figures below are from my tune with 17psi. Does anyone know the cam specs of the RB20DET-R, i know they are different, but i have never been able to find out exactly what they are

Approximately my thing is making...

4,000rpm - 150rwkws

4,500rpm - 196rwkws

5,000rpm - 216rwkws

5,500rpm - 232rwkws

6,000rpm - 234rwkws

6,500rpm - 230rwkws

7,000rpm - 218rwkws

Our turbos seem to be very similar in response and performance, but you do it with 5psi less boost:thumbsup:

Could this be as simple as cams?!?!?!

Ahh32...any news:)

There you go Fat GTS-R...excuse my formatting, i only plotted as many points as i needed to get the general trending right :headspin:

I have changed my tune, i reckon you might have a stroker of some sort:thumbsup:

Even if it is only a set of oversized pistons and 2.2L, something is going on...at 3,000rpm im making 5psi and you have 14rwkws more then me....and typically im running 5-6psi more boost pressure for about the same power:confused:

Id say your on a good thing with that engine, time for some more boost, say another 5psi. Based on my engine making another 20rwks with an extra 3psi, then is day you are well on your way to a nice and punchy 250-260rwkw setup:thumbsup:

And having a closer look at your dyno plot at high revs, i suspect that the power drop off came from a lift off the throttle...?

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
