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)

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
