just though i would let you guys know wot i got from the prince after the big dyno day..... it was 126kw at 152kph in 4 gear....

now wot cheap mods can i do to the rb20 to increase that figure that wont break the budget?

wot i have know is a rb20det, 450 x 300 76 front mount, pod filter with cia, standard turbs standard dump, retrofiited r 33 exhaust, custom 2.5 inch intercooler piping.....

any help, greatly appreciated

Is it a late model RB20DET?

If it is.... Keep the stock rb20det turbo for response, dial in 1bar with an EBC or bodgy actuator mod (get it holding boost) then do the ecu. It should make around 170-175rwkw and pull hard from 3000-3500rpm to 7000rpm. ;)

In order of priority..

Dump Pipe, nice cust 3" exhaust with a straight through muffler, 1bar boost, ecu/safc or what ever.

What diff ratio are you running?

That thing would hammer. :P

On the rb25det yes.. If you push more than 12-13psi they tend to let go.

The ceramic turbo's on the rb20det you are able to run around 14psi or so.

I ran 1bar for ~3years and 100,000km's until I dropped the rb30det in that due to the rb25 head flowing so much better required 9psi on the same stock turbo to make ~10rwkw more power.

It also has a lot to do with driving conditions as what kills the ceramic turbo's isn't boost its EGT's. High EGT's due to poor tuning, detonation OR track work kills ceramic turbo's in a flash.

Using a ceramic turbo for track use I would be nervous to push more than stock boost through it, simply due to the heat, even then ppls have had turbo's let go at the track on stock boost.

Roy (Troy) in his R32 pushed 1bar or 14psi I don't remember through his and attended multiple track days without a failure so at the end of the day when it comes to track use its luck of the draw.

Push 14psi through it, providing afr's and ignition are good with no detonation it will be perfectly fine. :P

I have a spare RB20DET turbo laying around here should you prove me wrong. :D

The RB25 exhaust.. I think they are 2.5"? If so replace the muffler with a straight through. That will bring power up.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
