I could be wrong but if you look and talk to most experince drifters that do it for al iving they will tell you the same thing.  You will find that not many of them would be running over 14psi.

I know lots of experinced drifters that run over 14psi. I run 19psi, but I'm not saying I'm experinced :P My shop's car runs 22psi. Most of the D1 cars are setup around 1.4+bar.

i cant see what it would matter what psi u r running if drifting, if you have a decent intercooler and keeping the temps down you wont have a problem. and for high rpm's in drift, just go to any drift comp and listen to the rev limiters, thats sounds like big rpm to me.

Most D1 cars run fully forged, fully built $25 or $30K engines.

Buy a turbo that flows the power you want within the peak of its efficiency - this is, and will always be the best way to match a turbo to your car.

Check here: http://www.driftaustralia.com.au/forum/top...sp?TOPIC_ID=233 for power info on trust turbos

A brilliant turbo for RB20 is hks 2530, at 1.2bar they absolutely rip, Wide power band, responsive - an excellent turbo for a drift car. At that boost you dont have to touch the internals, just keep the rev limit to 8000 rpm and it will love you. You do of course have to change fuel pump and up the rail pressure for it to be safe.

ok just so everyone knows, its not a stock engine, very far from it, has forgies and preped bottom end. thats all i will say as im not giving away any more info on the internals at this stage. it will have a rev limit of around 8200 - 8500. and yes has over kill supporting mods for the power.

OK, dont really see why that is relevant, but bottom line is the higher the boost, the more heat in the engine PERIOD, no matter how much you cool the intake temps 15psi will always have less heat than 20 psi - the piston compresses the charge air = heat.

To run higher boost, you need to drop the CR to reduce the amount of heat being generated in the cylinder. Lower CR means more sluggish off boost and longer to come on boost, cams means less cylinder efficiency at lower revs, which will bring boost on later too.

With an RB20, they dont really do much under 3000rpm stock, drop the CR further (for higher boost) and that will move right - throw in some cams and it moves further right again.

Forged pistons will retain less heat than standard, so you can run higher boost (heat being the issue). At 8.5cr with standard pistons, you are playing with fire above 1.2 bar for reliable, constant full boost thrashing. With forged pistons, you could probably run 1.3bar without dramas.

If you intend to run more than this, you should seriously thing about dropping the CR further - but getting boost in before 4000rpm may be a problem on a turbo the size of the td-06-20G.

My advice would be to build your engine at 8.5:1 and see what happens at 1.3bar - if you need more power, or want to tune at higher boost pressure, either be prepared to run a fuel ****tail to increase the ron, run elf fuel or decompress the engine further.

Remeber, if you think only of the top end power, you may well end up with a car that is only suitable for drag, ie, very narrow peaky power band. This not only will be very dissapointing, but could be more expensive to rectify than simply changing your headgasket to decompress the engine slightly, or using a higher ron fuel when thrashing.

my 0.02 - good luck, sounds like it will be a very nice package.

Their boostd life is 30,000-40,000km's where as BB turbo's are generally up around the 70,000km mark.

If you are not leaning on the turbo hard it will last much longer. Pushed to their airflow limits this is roughly the life you should expect.

I'll do those rb20 airflow plot calcs when I get a little time.

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
