G'day peoples,

I just put on my R34 turbo onto the Rb20. What a bloody job, would have been easiy if it werent for one bloody bolt, the hardest one to get to.

I took it for a test run and its only running at 5psi. I beleive this would be normal as the Rb20 is obviously smaller,

I'm thinking I will knock the boost to about 11psi with a bleed setup, what doo yoouuss reckon.:P

11psi should be no worries without having to worry about fuel etc.

TO be safe though and make sure it isn't leaning out due to an old fuel pump either replace the fuel pump or get it setup on a dyno for 11psi.

Also let us know how you go with boost drop if any in the higher revs, as the std turbo drops boost in the higher revs.

So whats the drive like does it feel better than the std r32 turbo?

Full boost by 2500rpm or 3000rpm?!?!?!?

G'day Joel,

Well its only making 5 psi at the mo. The car makes boost at about 2grand. Its driving pretty well considereing such low boost. I don't feel anymore lag atall.

My car is missing at idle like a little bitch now. I don't know what it is. Could the oxygen sensor be stuffed?

What else could it be.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
