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.

alright sweet.. insted of using vaccum gauge is it possible to use a boost gauge that has the vaccum reading on it.. and run it from the vaccum line for the fule presure regulator????

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.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
