What do you guys reckon

Is my turbo out of puff or something else not right?

AFR's where 11.5 going to 12.1 up top

HKS GT2510 as far as I know

My tuner reckons that about it for that turbo, I agree. I thought about cams, but he said if the turbo is just too small, it will make the problem worse, as the engine will be more efficient, but the turbo won't be able to keep up

Thanks, Chris

Yeah, 2510 is the smallest of the HKS range, well it was before they stopped making it!

I want a genuine 220rwkw, as I rekcon that where some good numbers lie both at the drags and around Mallala.

I want a low 13sec car, and something I can lap Mallala in around 1.25

I'd be happy with that. I just want to be able to use the revs, as at the moment it feels like it dies in the ass after about 5500rpm, as you can see on the dyno sheet

What would you want for your turbo? It would be interesting to see what it makes on a RB20!

lol...dunno what its worth, as i bought it with the car when it was freshly highflowed. Its made about 220rwkw with this motor (i reckon it has slightly more due to the air pod shitter im running which will be changed soon)

Ive got pics of the exhaust and compressor side...Shaun and Cubes have seen it too....depends on when i'll be buying the xr6 GT35r for mine as to when ill be taking it off....I'll catch up with you this Sat. at Boostworx and discuss more on it ;)

Between 118 and 130kmph your torque band is dead flat but your KW figure goes from 180 to 193. than ofer that it tapers off real quick. so to get the power you want it will need to breethe better up top.

As you are rubnning 1.35 bar the compressor is spinning at its max efficency range at high rpm so the only way to make more power is with better flow.

Considering you prob already have a very free flowing exhaust. 3" turbo back with a good dump pipe and a very high flowing catalitic converter, there are a couple of things you can do.

1. cool the intake charge further. If you dont have one you could make a waterspray kit for your intetrcooler. because at 1.35 bar you can bet your intake temps could benifit from further cooling help. this will make intake air denser, and make more power. on my car it made 13RWKW difference. ;)

2. you also need to make it easier for the turbo to ram that air in!!! ruling out headwork as its too expensive your only other option will be cams.

350nm is very good torque for the ol RB20 and without better flow you won't usually get any more than that.

also your boost curve is fantastic and i bet your car is very fast on the street and thru the windy stuff.

I think if you can get 220rwkw with that turbo you will have a very fast car. but the odds are stacked against you :)

Boost does nose over after peak power, down to about 16psi

Exhaust is no restriction, 3.5" dump, no mufflers or cat execpt for the rear can

I think air out is the main issue, exhaust housing causing restriction

Its only rated at 300PS!

Getting re-tuned tomorrow, as that tune is quite lean. Going for more timing and fuel. I want to see at least 200rwkw, maybe a bit more if possible

Might try it at 1.2bar and see if that helps with a bit of top end. The mid-range on the road is lots of fun though

Quite a few people keen on my turbo! Lots of PM's!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
