hey chaps.. i kno this has probably been covered before but would appreciate peoples opinions on the matter, i have a fairly standard RB20det with exhaust, pod, boost controller and front mount.... recently i purchased a T3 ball bearing turbo with external gate. I am not a complete moron but would like some advice or somebodies knowledge on how else to equipe the motor for somewhere around 300rwhp

was thinking--- after market manifold fabricated to suit my gate

a walbro fuel pump

GTR or sard injectors

sequential BOV

re-mapped ecu or piggyback?

i need sort of mid range power for drift so to me, this application sounds about right... if anybody has done a similar engine enhancement to this it would be greatly appreciated if they could point me in the right direction of how they went about it and the power outcome.

thanks for your time :wassup:

the parts u listed there should get u close to that figure..

i also had a similar setup..

T3, rb20, GTR fuel pump, Boost COntroller, 2.5 inch turbo back zorst and Larger Cams, on around 13psi got me around the 170rwkw mark..

things missing were injectors, FMI and maybe a remapped ECU (toshi from the forums here can do it for like 200 bux) .. shoud bring it close to the 210 rwkw mark..

GTR - injectors = 250 bux

ECU = 200 bux

FMIC = 700 bux installed including the the GTR sized intercooler.

U might have to wind the the boost to say 15-16 pounds to get that much thou..

Ive seen that setup before..

gnarly cheers for the feed back man

i gotta get a t3 flange welded onto my manifold as the huffer is currently sporting a t4 pattern and modify the external gate situation to suit my normalair-garret waste gate... already got the cooler installed and its making reasonable horse power as is, but a little more couldnt hurt surely!

know anywhere i can get sum GTR injectors for 250 quid?

If you plan to use it for drift, in my opinion, the best thing you could do is sell up all the goodies you have for your RB (including engine) and do an SR20det converion. The conversion is very simple and makes the car SOOOO easy to slide you will be amazed. The extra tourque does not go astray either.

I have driven one SR cefiro, one SR laurel and frequently drifted another SR20 laurel (stock with 0.7bar boost and coilovers and diff) and i must say i was completing sections of Qld Raceway i could only have dreamt of in my RB powed laurel.

Go for the SR.

yer i used to pilot a SR 180.. cant beat the sound and kick of an sr but im quite content listening to my truck like RB at the mo... although an SR would give a lot less under steer wich is better for dori... tell u wat when i lunch my RB il gladly swap it for a black top sr or something---- dont really have the $ for a 26 i can hardly afford a big mac meal these days :headspin:

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
