some very differnt powers being made with similar turbos. my rb25 with a gt30 .82 and external gate made 420rwhp @ 27psi

ive added a pic of the dyno sheet, the red line is my first engine with aria pistons and higher compression, the blue line is the same head, less compression and wiseco pistons... I had hi flowed injectors, pump, micro tech etc etc...

some of you guys have made good power on such little boost... have any of you gone down the track??

with 300rwhp i ran 13flat @ 114mph

Track I am refering to is Sandown and Phillip Island were i found i had to modify my driving a fair bit so that when i powered out of the corners I could keep the engine in the power curve of the rev range. Sometimes it was a comprimise between using 2nd gear and wheel spinning out of the corner and loosing time or staying in 3rd and having the car bog down for a while till the needle went near 4000rpm.

That is one hell of an interesting dyno graph RNS11Z. It is not often you get the chance to compare the same engine with different compression ratios. Can you notice the 50rwhp less at ~4,600 rpm? Or does it go through the 4,000 rpm to 5,2500 rpm band so fast you don't feel it? I notice that the current set up has ~1.5 psi more boost at 5,150 rpm, is that deliberate? Or did you have to run less boost with the higher compression?

Lots of things to think about on that dyno graph, for a data not like me anyway.:D

I was having problems with the external gate which is why it wouldnt hit target boost straight away on the first engine. When building the 2nd engine we fixed the gate, as you can see it spiked 1-2psi then settled.

The 2nd engine was much more smoother too drive and felt better on the st. The first engine was real snappy.

Peak power on the first engine was 421.??

i think it would be a tad too big, but it all depends on whay you dont mind living with for the extra power. abo bob has got my power graph, when he posts it up for me you guys can have a look how a gt30 with .63 exhaust makes power on an rb25 with stock compression.

wonder how the GT30 with the .63 would go on a rb20 ;) seeing as the rb20 has stuff all puff

i just might have to try it :)

give me about 2 weeks and my rb20 will be in my s14......

its currently got a gt30r with a .63 ar bolted to a hks manifold with the gate set at 14psi/1bar.

i also threw in tomei procams (260/8.8mm lift intake/exhaust) to help it along and some greddy gears.

currently the fuel rail is loaded with some 550's and gonna burn a custom chip to change redline as well as control the larger squirters.

will be using a emanage to tune with a tech edge wideband.......

should go quitenicely......

oh and some one on here said they used a gt30 with a .86 ar on an rb20 and they got 14psi at around 4k.

I wouldnt question the exhaust.

I'd be looking at the ECU/tuner.

One assumes its aftermarket of course... and there is a very big hole in the power band that should not be there at all.

With the smaller housing it should ramp onto boost easiler also. Which i'd put down too the tuneings fault again

That car for the turbo has a smaller powerband than mine with the bigger housing which in thoery should be a bit laggier

Carl... i'll take you for a burn in mine next week if you want and show you how mine goes with a decent tune :)

Hmm, I found a few things that made mine come onto boost alot harder, and hold better to redline - one of them was exhaust being very restrictive. It wasnt a problem until I got the larger turbo on - just choked it as I turned up the boost. Easy way to tell, just drop the exhaust for a quick run around the block :) or on the dyno if your not feeling adventurous.

Second was a flange leak from the manifold to the ext wastegate - only a small one, not audible by ear, needed a stethescope type device - but made a big difference, boost earlier and far more responsive.

Last one was BOV leaking at higher rpm.

Some ideas anyway, hope they help

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
