Took you guys long enough....yes...an safc or some sort of engine management is the FIRST thing i would do...

I don't think it can be done... I have heard of PFCs for other RBs used on the RB20 but never one from an SR20...

I'd certainly consider the howl of the V10 in the LFA interesting...don't you?

Are they the same? If so and it can be confirmed...i'll take it...

If you are willing to seperate the rb20 sump...i'll take it...

Any workshop that dials in 1.4 bar into the stock turbo should be burnt to the ground...

There are 2 ways to look at it...one is that the overall figure is rather low...even for the rb20 which runs lower compression...another way to look at it is that the variation between the cylinders is not too big so its not too bad... I'd get it checked again with another compression gauge and then go from there...comp gauges can very very inconsistant...my guess though is that it might be quite tired...

RWDs are too heavy? Hahahaa...ok...

Very very decent car...has a nice interior...great driving feel...extremely well sorted chassis...and light... One slight drawback...13b reliability and fuel consumption....

I'll bite...short answer...they have larger flow paths and are less likely to leak...they are also interchangeable but you need a larger plumback pipe... But if you had searched you would have found your answer...

You are correct...its far better than what people make it out to be...i've read that it actually holds more Gs under constant cornering compared to a 33gtr...not sure about the standard 1/4 times though... And just just for good measure...watch this!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKvF08Gt8N4 Watch the supra take on the other cars of its time...then call it a boat...in the vid...SUPRA > GTR RX7 NSX....

Just whack it on...and whack some decent boost (18psi onwards) into it...and it will still make you smile...guaranteed...

I'm still waiting for the official time too...even if its slightly higher at around 7:28 - 7:32...thats still a FRIGGIN HUGE achievement!!!

Didn't the LFA cut a 7min24sec lap round the Ring? Last time I checked it was quicker than the new GTR...and even if it isn't...thats still a VERY impressive time for a rwd NA... And that howl from the V10 as heard on those youtube videos is enough to send a chill down my spine!!!

Yes...they are all similar to the stock turbo size...and heat shield will go back on...

S15 Injectors are 480cc...not 440cc...

Read the post above and you will see he already has an aftermarket exhaust...

Hahaha...that should put him in his place...again here i'm with Troy...we are not saying the rb20 is a better engine in a better car...we are just saying that done right it is far better than what people think...

As mentioned...for the price you can pick up a R33 S2 for nowadays its hard to go past it...but saying that...the rb20 is still a very very decent engine...but as for the details...i'll just let troy fly the rb20 flag...

Again...thats a load of absolute BS...we have told you before that you DO NOT need high boost on this bov to get that sound...it just needs some adjustment...and if it still needs very high boost to open...the BOV is faulty...

What diameter is the wheel? And does it come with the horn?

The turbotech will work fine...adjusted right the hks actuator should see you running about 14-16psi without any spiking...then use the turbotech to raise boost to whatever level you want...remember that this is a mechanical system so a slight spike as it hits max boost is normal as it takes time for the system to stablelize...

I have to side with bumblebee partially on this one...when i went from a batmbl dump to a hks dump on my 2535 i suddenly started to get a high pitched wail as the turbo spooled...changing the gasket did not help either...for an unrelated reason I wrapped the dump in heat wrap and had a resonator welded onto the catback...after this the sound disappeared totally...in the end i just put the noise down to some sort of weird resonance caused by the turbo dump and exhaust...so i think it is possible...but take what you want from my experience... As for the original thread about a leaking gasket causing the loss of backpressure resulting in less response in low revs...all i can say is WTF?! That is a load of bull...less backpressire is a good thing...

Try Pirtek or Enzed for hoses...if you can't find a suitable hose there you won't find it anywhere...good luck...

I kinda agree partially with you there...a richer denser mixture would help spool the turbo up quicker...however i do not see the benefits of retarding the ignition timing down low as you have mentioned the low end suffers...and by quite a fair bit... If we are talking about turbo spool alone then yes perhaps retarding the timing might help...but if all we want is just a richer mixture then wouldn't it make more sense to just richen up the mixture down low instead of retarding timing? also...i agree its gonna run hot as retarded timing does make the engine run hot...not a very good thing if you ask me... I'd personally be more inclined to run as much timing as you can down low without detonation...running the engine as efficiently as possible improves power, torque and response...best case scenario for the engine...and as mentioned before...if his boost response is bad...it probably shows that there are restrictions in his system which should be sorted out first...restrictions plus alot of heat is not a good idea...
