My appologies to everyone who has tried to contact me. I had to go away over the weekend unexpectedly. I am back now. Headlights are now sold.

Can't seem to edit my post... but these items are SOLD and no longer available. T51 Turbo VG30 turbo/manifold/gate Picture of the seats. Driver side has cefiro rail. Passenger has R31 rail. They have sat in the shed for a year and are a bit dusty but it wipes right off. Pictue of headlights. Also a bit dirty. Picture of Advan wheels. Forgot to mention they are painted black. Cheers.

Yes the drivers side one was broken at the rear plastic part where it mounts to the car. But i had it repaired and used it in my car for a long time with no problems. The glass and lenses and internals are all good. I will get pics. I have had a lot of requests for pics for everything and i am trying to sort it out. Should have some pics up later today. Cheers

Hi, will you post interstate?

Yeah i noticed that too, the extra capacity of the rb24 and big cams really help. You can see how we run much more boost for the same power but i am honestly surprised that a totally stock rb20 head can flow as much as it does with standard cams. The ports and valves are pretty small. I think it is cool that both these engines are running on remapped standard ecu. Hi Ryan, the turbo is actually a GT4094R - garrett 751470-20 If you are having problems with lazy spooling the things to look for would be exhaust manifold leaks, wastegate leaking, cam timing.

I have a real shitty phone/cam video. It is only short because the memory was full. A few other people have filmed it so i will see if i can get them to put something up. Anyway here is the footage i have, it's not that exciting unfortunately. name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>&"> name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" />

Couple of quick photos. Feel free to ask any questions. Overlay of several dyno runs, playing with different boost/tune/cam timing. Engine bay NOM, NOM, NOM! etc... Cheers -Jeff

Thanks for the positive reply JayMei. Unfortunately i didn't post the thread on ns and neither did anyone from turbo tune. An excited customer had seen the results and decided to start 2 threads on ns about it. Hilarity ensued. Total shits and giggles affair though. The engine is coming out to be replaced by a properly built rb30/rb25 head combo. Also it is in an s14 if anyone cares. I think there is a couple of points to note... The T04Z is a great choice for big power. The basic engineering on the rb20det from the factory is fairly decent. Cheers -Jeff

Hope this doesn't turn in to a shit storm like on ns.com. I'll just make a few comments here to clarify some things, maybe it will stop some people carrying on like the children on ns. No-one is bragging or making any claims here. It is was it is. It's cheap, laggy, probably won't last. No shit. Just a fun afterhours project. It was built using an old smoking motor that was lying around the workshop. The engine was stripped down, cleaned and reassembled using all the original internals with new rings and bearings added. A metal headgasket was used and the standard springs were shimmed up to give a little more seat pressure. The standard rb20det cams are still used but with some "special timing" Without a doubt this is the main limiting factor currently. One of the reason so much boost is used is to overcome the flow limitations of the std head/cams. A spare gtr inlet plenum was cut and welded on to the std rb20det inlet runners. The alignment of the runners is off and i am sure this is doing more harm than good, but hey, it's all just for a bit of fun. There are some cheap bolt on parts used. Cam pulleys, fmic, throttle body, exhaust manifold and wastegate are all ebay cheapies. The whole project was done as cheaply as possible, in our spare time afterhours, while on the piss. Now the original plan was to see what sort of numbers could be made from a std internal std capacity rb20det using a remapped factory ecu. I figured anything over 300rwkw would be a decent number. I also fully expected it to shit out and throw a rod or something. Pretty much started at 20psi and went up 2psi at a time until the motor blew or it stopped making power. Neither has happened yet. Personally i am surprised at the result. I can only imagine what it might do with some big cams. Of course i would never suggest or recommend this as a sensible setup for anyone or anything. I just think it is interesting to see what can be done with cheap parts on the baby rb. I'll put some photos up when i can. Cheers -Jeff

I found a couple of pics but they are not the best. rb25 rods - blurry pic rb25 rod Well i don't know if they help but regardless the pic you have shown is clearly of rb26 rods. They are much thicker where the beam tapers into the big end and there is more material around the bolt holes. If you compare the pics of the rb25 and rb26 rods you can clearly see the rb26 rod beams start to taper out wider closer to the little end than the rb25 rods. Using the protrusion on the side of the beams as a reference. It's a shame you have to defend yourself against the word of an obviously incompetent "mechanic"

Yep thats all correct. Both output up to 5v and both read reach maximum voltage at around the same amount of airflow.

Tyres and driver would be the biggest factor.

Yes the stock map has 24deg of timing at 5600rpm in the 2nd highest load column. The dyno curve is very much typical of a standard r33 ecu. The engine is obviously pinging quite badly and the ecu is savagely reducing the timing when it detects knock. Naturally advancing the base timing via the cas will only make the problem worse. Reducing the timing will of course lose some power but will go some way to fixing the problem. Any competent workshop who has worked on a few r33's should be aware of all this.

It looks completely stock standard.

Ethanol does have better anti-knock properties than regular petrol. RON : 129 - MON : 102 As for tuning, ethanol is 35% oxygene but also contains less energy than regular automotive fuel. Typical automotive fuel contains around 45 MJ/kg where as ethanol contains only 26 MJ/kg. This would indicate that, like methanol, a richer a/f mixture would be required to obtain maximum power. However in blends as low as 10% it's probably not such an issue. Long story short, yes you can run a bit more timing.
