this is a good read

got a gcg hi-flow rb25 turbo going on my r32 now

other mods include 550cc injectors and powerfc and the usual kinda shit

i'll watch this thread and post results when/if i get them

our cars sound similar apart from PFC, would be good to see the differance

  • 2 weeks later...

man my engine must be buggered or sumthin...i have a high flowed turbo (not a GCG) but loooks exactly like it, and im only making 245rwhp and thats with tomei cams and 14psi and power fc....anybody know wat could be my prob?can i have a buggered head gasket? or could it be the rings?

wind it up the boost to 18psi or so.. it's probably the only way you'll get power out of it.. then it will be laggy and possibly kill an old engine. Sounds similar situation to my highflow rb25 (its running 16psi at the moment).. not the best match for rb20.

i wish i had that, ive got 253hp@22psi. RB20 hybrid, exhaust housing too small. new turbo here i come.........

sounds similar to mine..

nf: I think you'll make maybe 20% more power with raising the boost another 4psi or so... so thats quite a good result if you ask me.

may as well post up my chart as a point of comparison.

16psi on highflow rb25 turbo (rb20 actuator), k&n panel filter, 3" exhaust right thru, highflow cat, hybrid cheap front mount 450x300x75, turbotech boost valve, SAFC.. So seeing as mine is AUTO, and non-powerfc seems about in range with nF above by taking 20-30% off.

I don't think there was any temperature correction put in for the 32 degree day.. non-shootout .. So allowing 10-15%.. mine is about 150rwkw on any other dyno (probably feels about 150rwkw too).

A fair bit of blowby at 16psi exhibited in my engine, whereas was none at 12psi... so any more isn't a good idea in mine at the moment.

sorry don't have a scanner or camera here so i'll try describe

also graph doesn't have RPMs so someone might have to convert

in 3rd gear, peak power at 114km/h, made full boost by 82km

graph is a nice curve too :(

mods that are important:

- split dump

- splitfires

- iridium plugs

- k&n pod

- 3 inch full exhaust with a hi-flow cat (crowbar brand)

- the turbo is r33 gcg hiflow with i think the r32 actuator

- 550x100x76 intercooler

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
