Just under +7 as in just under the line or the actual print +7?

If just under the print or .7bar (10.15psi) sounds right.

My stock boost with a full 3" is 11psi.

Some with a 3.5" have seen 12psi.

Edited by Cubes

I had a friend install it on his VL, it would only hold 10-11psi or so, stock boost on those are around 7.

I'm putting the turbo on tomorrow with the bleeder, I suspect it will tail off at high rpm as my dump pipe is not the best.

I'll be getting a split dump made up when I drop the xr6 turbo on around xmas. I've got a vg30det bb ceramic turbo going on to keep me happy until then. :huh:

It should only need around 11psi to make ~200rwkw.

yeah cuz im going to buy 1 u recon 12psi is safe for me?? and u rekon my new boost gage would be reading corect then ay? if so whats 12 PSI in BAR?

and how much was your vg30det bb ceramic turo =P

I picked up the vg30det turbo for $300 or was it $350.. :P It was some time ago.

I wouldn't put a VG30 turbo on a RB20DET, I've done it in the past and it was a bad match. The turbine housing is too large for the little compressor.

A RB25 turbo is a much better match to the RB20DET, it has a slightly larger compressor wheel than the vg30det turbo and a slightly smaller turbine housing. On small motors you want to keep the turbine housing as small as you can.

The VG30det turbo will make the same power as the rb25 turbo BUT there will be less area under the curve on a small motor.

The RB25 turbo vs the vg30det turbo on a RB30DET, the vg30det will have more area under the curve as the motor will rev harder and not flatten out at the top end. as much. :)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
