after a fair bit of money spent this is how a project is going after an engine shitting itself and being rebuilt

rb20det

polished

balanced

o-ringed

arias pistons - taken out 20 tho

better valve springs

had the head machined

copper head gaskets

-

billent adjustable cam gears going in

oil catch can

high mount exhaust manifold

to4e turbo

700x300x78 fmic 3" piping

38mm wastegate

pod filter

bosch 040 fuel pump- might change

3" turbo back exhaust

-

wolf 3d series 4 ecu

with this set up wat kinda power can be expected? any suggestions on anthing missed? there has been alot of money spent so far as you can see on the list, any help would be greatly appreciated

These arent really recommendations , more like questions:)

Any reason why you put valve springs in but kept the std cams?

Also it may have been worthwhile to go a lot bigger then 20 thou, you could have easily bumped up displacement to 2.2L with pistons alone.

Also what have you done in the way of rod bolts for the std rods?

Also i wouldnt decompress the engine any more then the std 8.5:1, also i noticed of late some of the cheaper 3" exhausts are in fact 3" ie 76.2OD whilst a lot of the Jap so called 3" exhausts are actually 80mm...

gtr injectors,and yeah-the to4 will b good for 1.5 bar, yeah got cam gears,std camshaft. he will be changing other things over time. "Also what have you done in the way of rod bolts for the std rods?" umm nothing i know of, any advice would be greatfull though, just need to know what else is necessary, rods? crankshaft?

To4e? why are people using OLD t04's when there is a shitload of new range turbo's out that spool earlier and produve a much nicer power band :)

sadly enough tho with the money spent on that you could have dropped in a rb25 given it a power fc turbo upgrade with injectors.. and it would probaly go alot harder and easier to drive than the dirty old t04e

yeah, mate, you should do that, it would be really good :)

he wanted a powerfull rb20, he now has a powerfull rb20.

you would be surprised how much money was actually spent.

Either way, were you going to give some advice? thats why we started this thread.

oh- and the to4 is new or...hasnt been used.

is there anything that he could have missed? thx guys.

I put an RB25 into my 32 and was rapped, originaly i wanted to build my 20 and have a crazy 20 but when it came to spending the bucks Ben from Racepace advised me that the 25 will make a bit more power at the end of the day so i was sold. I ended up doing the forged pistons, gtr rods, tomei cams 550cc injectors, power fc, hks 3037 proS, fmic and 3.5inch exaust. very happy with the job that was done going to make about 280kw at the wheels on about 17-18pnds.

could'nt be happier with the turbo choice. Perfect for the street not laggy at all.

I wanted to do the same thing.. get a powerful rb20 in my silvia.. but how ever with the money that i was goin to spend i was better off just buying a 26 and getting similar power out of a stock rb26 with mild upgrades.. and still have a safe reliable engine..

dont get me wrong.. rb20's are awesome little motors.. but they just dont have wat it takes to get alot of power out of

240 rwkw so far, highflowing the t04, not alot of power:P we will see how we go after its done

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
