you thinking its just taking too long to spool?

Well the 60ft times were 2.5 - 2.7 seconds so yeah....taking way too long to spool.

Give it too much the first time (4500 take off) and I was skidding through third

Gave it too little the second time (3500 take off) and I had to wait six months for boost

And in answer to your comment...NOS is not the answer!

What I really need is one of those super dooper rotary engines that has pistons inside and a 9 speed gearbox.

what turbo are u running on the rb20 now dan anyway??

GT2876RS with a 0.86 rear housing.

Don't worry about finding that turbo anywhere, I had it specially made.

I would like to change the rear housing to 0.63 to see which I like better. I just hope the 0.63 rear will hold out to 8500rpm like this one does but that's probably just wishful thinking.

I get fullboost (20psi) on the current one at about 4800rpm with cams, used to be 5500 before the cams went in.

With the other rear housing I should see fullboost at 2800 and have it carry all the way to 7000rpm which is a larger range anyway.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
