Ah true? He didn't mention it, just said maybe cam gears or something from memory. Need to save up a few hundred dollars for it to get dyno tuned again i spose, balls

Did I read that right...? you hit 14 psi at 5800 rpms?!?

Sounds like if you replaced your turbo/manifold gaskets you'd get better spool than if you upgraded to a ball bearring turbo!

Seriously, thats and unhealthy late spool.

This might be alittle off topic but then again it could help this guy out...Does anyone have a dyno graph of a sliding performace rb20 highflow on an rb20? it'd be good to compare it to all the other graphs on the rb20 thread...

Just had a look through the RB20 topic and dam theres something bottleknecking my car's performance bad. Most of the standard r32 turbo's are maxing at 140, some 145, mines alot bigger than the standard and it's maxing at 142 so something wack there. Most r33 turboes are making the power about 15-20 km/h higher than i am.

You're damn right there is!

I put down 219 hp, or 163 rwkw, at 12 psi on my rb20 turbo. SAFC, open downpipe, FMIC.

My roommates car made 258 hp 259 tq on his r33 turbo @ 16 psi.

Same here...i've got a standard engine with standard turbo, exhaust, fmic, fuel pump and dr drift remap and it laid down 160rwkw at 12psi too on Sam's dyno...so theres definitely something wrong with how much power you're making...

Edited by limpus

full boost should be lower....3500rpm on my cousins 32 with 33 turbo...

i thought that the comprimise of 500rpm of response for the extra power up top of the 33 turbo was well worth it...

also running 14psi on the 34 turbo on a rb20 is roughly the same as running 12psi on a rb25....

This was a write up done on Sliding Performance turbo's on an RB20DET proving that even the standard RB25 highflow is more then capable of creating 230rwkw. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...142615&st=0

Your power drops off far too early...

I've got max power at 6500rpm and then at 8000rpm I've got the same power as at 5300rpm. RB20 with R33 S2 turbo.

You should have something pretty similar seeing as you've got the same turbo except the bigger turbine housing.

Hmm damn, lots of responses saying it's shagged, sucks that it's not easily diagnosable (<< how the hell do u spell diagnosable) and the fact that the guy who tuned it didn't mention that it was dropping off prematurely worries me, hope my engines not rooted, i thought it was pretty good. Any one know of any dyno nights closer to greensborough/watsonia/eltham area coming up soon so i can see if the cat/dump has made any difference (i normally dont rev the thing past about 6.5k anyway)

    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL
