RB20 is 20 degrees. and forget looking at the sticker under the bonnet. they are made by halfwits. my GTR one says 15 (rubbish), my GTI-R one said 15 too (also rubbish). pretty much they just put 15 down for every nissan ever complied.

I have a GTR bonnet that has a very old factory looking sticker with RB20 stats... so I don't believe anything stuck to bonnets :thumbsup:

Even if my base timing is low, timing has been fiddled with in the ecu so it is of no consequence.

i had a play with timing today.. and advanced it as far forward as possible on the cas and it runs smooth and real snappy and plenty of power on and off boost.. with no pinging so far..

i will back the timing off a tad...

prob not to safe to run it at full advance??

car seems to be running fair normal... at idle the revs bounce around between 650 and 750ish rpm.. wonderinf if this oculd be due to not being tuned for the mods...

cheers for all your help guys

and one more thing..

what sort of gains have people had from ecu remaps...

i know they would iron out the power curves and that make em more reliable but what sort of gains can be expected?

cheeers yo

Re-maps are great. My complety stock 20 make 153rwkw on 9psi, after some tuning and setting the boost to 13psi it make 174.1 with a shit load more midrange

I reckon your cam belt is off one tooth on both cam wheels, A way to confirm this is to get a vacuum gauge it should read -19/-20 if you have stock cams, if its anything higher like -15/-16 start pulling off the front of the engine, cause it will need adjustment. The cas in no way should be "advanced as far forward as possible"... somthing is up.

Once you get it on properly you will even have more power and a stedy idle.

I have a rule - NEVER use the FPR vaccum line for anything what so ever. Its too mission critical.

Use something else, there are plenty of lines unther there.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
