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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
