Would be interesting to see how much KW you pick up with a larger exhaust dump pipe from the turbo ,

any one know if they run the larger VG30 ex housing on the rb25engine for the Siding turbo up grade ?

Looks good should be happy with $$ you spent on the turbo

My boost was holding perfectly at 16psi with the turbotech controller. I amso have a 3" split dump from the turbo back to the cat.

Cubes, Live edit can be used as a good ground for a base tune but is not accurate down to 1/2 of an afr by any means, especially when you start changing the injector size.

but it is a good starting point.

CEF11E,

Live-edit... How well does the afr display reflect real world afr's?

In most cases not even remotely close for the open loop stuff.

The closed loop stuff should be fairly close assuming the inj and maf are calibrated correctly.

Well I have placed an order with Slide, on a recent trip to the sunny Gold Coast I left a VG30 turbo with him to be MAX FLOWED.

When it comes back it's going on my new L28ET engine, which will be interesting, or hoping so.

Will let you know what it looks like, as he says it will be back by about 26th November.

Cheers, D

Got my Sliding Performance highflow for a AWD RB25det Stagea, received just now

Looks wild !!! Been bored-out to the max! Getting installed on Monday, dont know when the safc & sitc will be re-dyno tuned tho. So I'll keep it under 10psi until its tuned.

Hopefully get the exhaust cam gear wheel installed at same time. And my brake upgrade, time permitting.

this is going to sound like a dumb question (and it may have been answered in the middle few pages. i read the first 2 then skipped the rest), but what does it hit full boost by on the rb20, and what does the stock rb20 turbo hit full boost by?

turbotech boost controller = designed/sold by a guy on these forums for about $35... also retailed by DrDrift

works a bit differently (Better) than a bleed valve... brings boost on faster etc.

sounds great, i want one.. who do i contact to purchase?

cheers

look for one of my old threads called I found a good cheap boost controller for $22.

it is in the forcen induction section and there are about 100 pages of info on it :) the guys name is Mark and his email address is on the first few pages.

Cheers :)

I am working thru my spark issue and turns out I was wrong about the plugs I was using. I had a set of NGK BPR5EIX-11 plugs!!! supprised it didnt miss at 10 psi!

I have just bought the wrong plugs by accident... BCPR6EY-11 Do'H!

The plug height is shorter than the BCPR6ES. they are in the car untill the weekwnd when I will get the bloody correct plugs this time gapped to 0.8.

lol No the rb20det turbo is off it has been running a vg30det turbo for some time. :)

The VG30 is better but still lacks.

These turbo's are cheap, but I really want to throw on an int. gate gt30 .82. and ram as much boost as I can (20 odd) in to it.

A gt35r would be nice but is a tad too laggy on the 3ltrs especially when they need a plenum to make them rev hard. (as we recently found out on a mates car)

BUT... I really am getting tired of driving a car that has a decent motor but crap turbo on it so it very well may see a vg30 max oversize slide turbo thrown on the side. See how things go. :)

I am currently having issues with coils but have had some more time to test.

I have leaned out the tune to 12:1 and put in new plugs and gapped them to 0.8 and am now running 18psi. after 1/2 hour the one of the coils starts to produce missfire so new coils are on the way but the car REALLY moves.

I would estimate there is at least an extra 20rwkw increase taking it to around 230~235RWKW and boost feels like it is coming on much quicker. it starts to get up and go at around 3600rpm.

this is still with the 2.75" exhaust. I really have to say this is a great turbo. I don't care if it is bush bearing, it is a better match to the RB20 than a lot of turbos that cost twice as much. I am really happy with the performance and have pushed the little RB20 as far as I think is realistic for a daily driveable car.

I couldn't be happier.

Cheers :(

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
