On my RB25, this is my boost curve

2200rpm = 6.5psi

2600rpm = 11.6psi

3000rpm = 15.8psi

3400rpm = 17.3psi

3800rpm = 17.9psi

4200rpm = 18.7psi

4600rpm = 19.1psi

5000rpm = 18.5psi

5400rpm = 17.4psi

5800rpm = 15.8psi

6200rpm = 13.8psi

On the dyno a Rb20DET with a gt2530 generally makes 1.1bar around 4k. On the street obviously it will be a little later, say rolling on in second gear may have the car start pulling hard from 4500rpm.

I've put in an order for a gt2530 for my rb20.

I was expecting the gt2530 would be a little more responsive than that.

What rpm does it start to build?

surely it makes SOME boost before 2800, even a couple of psi?  Its also gonna depend hugely on your tune and boost control method.  At the end of the day it is an rb20! not exactly known for their super response and early boosting!

well i have a TD06 on my rb20 and set at 1bar it starts to spool at about 3800rpm and holds till around 8700rpm

Once i get it tuned will let you know progress with it.

8700rpm?? And it needs a tune? Sheezus. What valve train components and cams are you using? Mine makes max power at ~6100rpm and limiter is set to 7K.

Robo's is making 6psi at around 2200rpm with an RB25 which is 25% larger in capacity than an RB20 so its gonna spool the same turbo 25% earlier so I guess 2800rpm is around the mark.

Thanks guys it seems mines fine then I may still need to get the spring checked as it seems to hesitate at .5 bar before continuing on to .7 bar I fitted up my Walbro last night it seemed to make the power come on a little more smoothly feels like it's making 170 rwkw ish it feels easily as quick as my old 180 did (which made 169 and its a heavier car I think I may need to get my cooler put on asap rather than waiting till next pay day though as Im a little worried that it feel's so quick

Well i have not yet finished with the car and the Power FC is about to go in so thats why i say i need a tune.

My ride:

1990 R32 GTS-t

RB20

Car mods as follows:

TD-06 turbo with external waste gate

550cc GTR injectors (with extra injector for high boost)

GReddy injector equaliser control (for extra injector set up)

GReddy electronic boost controller

GReddy turbo timer

upgraded fuel pump and swirl pot

adjustable fuel regulator

Z32 AFM

Hybrid FMIC

GReddy oil cooler and relocation kit

3' dump from the turbo into rear muffler which is standard at the moment, with extractors.

GTR rotors with green stuff pads.

irridium plugs

rods and pistons have been done as well as bearings (is what i was told) and a set of HKS cams

set of race springs with stock shockies (soon to be replaced)

Apexi air intake with modded CAI /Heat shielding (thanks to SAU thread)

button racing clutch and locked diff (thing of changing diff)

Mods to come:

front and rear strut brace (looking for a Cusco BT front)

new seats (as the BRIDE drivers seat is a carbon race seat with not much room)

new steering wheel (again for some extra room)

new gear knob (as the old one is pretty crummy and slips)

and maybe work on a new suspesion set up. (want coil overs)

Other than that its pretty much a stocker in the looks department ;)

So ~4000rpm for what ever boost you dial in to it sounds about right then. It kicks hard you look down and notice the tacho on 4500rpm swinging towards 7000rpm. :D

Yeah i know that feeling well ;)

  • 3 weeks later...

hmm well i've DEFINITELY got a problem... :P

got a hks 2530 - fmic/zorst/pump/ standard comp with hks fcd... it max'd power at 225rwkw 'conservatively' on 14psi...which is good right...YES.

BUT

...now that i drive it, its not making f*k all boost and LAGGGGGGGY as all the way until around 5000rpm... can say i'm very disappointed and hope its a fixable problem...

possible probs i thought of was - collapsing intake pipe to turbo / faulty boost controller (turbosmart dual stage fairly old) / maybe its not even standard computer...

just spewing coz its got absolutely NO midrange... heaps spewing...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
