L20et making the same power as a Rb30e?

[stagefumer11]

Now.... I had a little blat with a R31 a few nights ago. And got a little bit Depressed. Now ive been in many r31's and my R30 feels a hell of alot quicker and definitly gets up to 100k Quicker.

This r31 was near stock. Just a exhasut and it was Auto.

No gain, No pulling. Even.

Now my l20et has, a Large FMIc, 600hp Fuel pump, Rebuilt Head, a rb20det turbo. DEemissiond, Huge intake mods. and im running 8psi. which i know is low.

On my old setup smaller fmic, same fuel pump ect, but my old turbo, o got 109rwkw and 350nm of torque, In pricibal ive only seen rb30e's do 102rwkw mark.

So..... Im confused

You sure that thats all it had done to it??? Im pretty sure last 31 i went in wasn't that quick hey...

[slow_r31]

there are some freak rb30e's that with just an exahust move quite quick.

and how are u sure it just had an exhuast?

[stagefumer11]

By the sounds of it , thats all i could see, and it was a auto.

Maybe its time i run 13psi, instead of 8. But i have never seen a rb30e produce a large amount of flames

[blind_elk]

What if he was running PULP or Hi-Octane (Optimax, etc)? Could that make a difference?

[slow_r31]

by the sound of it is never a good indiciation

when my r31 was first boosted it had the stock exhuast it was quieter than a hyundai excel.

the car could of had n/a work, multi-throttles aftermarket ecu, cam etc. thing is, u never really know what the other guy has got.

i remember the look on a xr6 ba p-platers face....

[stagefumer11]

i understand where you are comming from, But this car looked factory, Auto, Factory mags. Standard height, lol. And a droopy exhasut muffler.

It was a Young guy driving. It just amazed me in how my car feels so much quicker than a r31 to only be as "fast" as a r1 rb30e. The r30 coupe is alot lighter.

Nick my r31 used to haul ass and i had done was put on a podfilter, remapped ecu, extractors and a more free flowing exhaust. WHen dynoed It was putting out 75kw at the rear wheels with 500Nm Torque which isnt much kw but alot of torque and it was extremely loud!

Keep in mind what other people have said about the mods, for all you know that R31 Could've had a Rb30 Block with a DOHC head and a huge turbo....so yeah. I know what u mean tho its kinda gutting when you find out your L20et isnt that fast. My mates twin 45mm sidedrafted 2l cortina is even with my car...

[rsx84]

depending on r31 model the power figures range quite a bit, anywhere from 80rwkw- 120rwkws in N/A form, don't be dishartened as alot of r31 boys like to keep thier cars very stock looking. theres a thread on a 308 TT powered r31 at the moment that still runs the stock silo wheels.

[stagefumer11]

I guess, i could of been against a freak car. Time to run 13psi now, just need a good boost controller. Anyone know of those Ball and spring ones being sold in nz ?

[george.bryant]

I can get you one for like $30 nick. Let me know on MSN

[stagefumer11]

Yes!

[stagefumer11]

well, running 11psi now, and my clutch cannot take the power "yippie"

[george.bryant]

Nick, you thought your L20et was bad. Well I lost to a Civic yesterday. Like the model before a EF3 but saying that my motor blew up 45 mins later....*sad*

[stagefumer11]

I feel you pain, i feel your pain....... L20ets are common for rotting the bores out if they dont have coolant in them .

[Ghostrider]

Not quite in the same vogue, but I am now going to forget the RB conversion and work up the L series.

Will a FMIC & FJ20DET turbo make much difference to my stock PNV L20ET?

[stagefumer11]

hell yeah!, any turbo work or a intercooler makes a HUGE diffrence.

i wish i had a dyno sheet's to show you what diffrence it makes

Just to throw a spanner in your thoughts, I have a mate that had a VL Turbo Exec, the turbo badge was taken off and stock VN Calais mags fitted, and to the naked eye, it looked like a VL Exec with Calais Wheels until anyone wanted to have a go.

To quote a well known line, "NEVER under estimate your oponent, always expect the unexpected"

Cheers,

good and valid point, Note taken , the imagae of the large amount of flames comming out the exhaust told me otherwise that it isnt stock.

Ive been tweaking my Air/fuel adjustments and gained alot of mid range torque. Still running ritch at crusing thorottle possion's so more tweaking will gain me alot more power i presume

+ Rb25det fuel requaltors make a nice upgrade. I noted mine made the system run Mega lean just under 0 Manifold pressure and made a flat spot in eccal. Installing it, Well its run's ritcher and the fuel delivery on boosting up is alot better.

Not i am taking all this off a Air/fuel Guage and a new NGK o2 sensor. gives very stable readings.

Will the bigger turbo & intercooler support a 3 inch system now! without causing power loss problems. Dump pipe back???

Cheers.
