Just noticed there's a RB20 (I gather RB24) in the Top RB20 Club making similar power figure

(367rwkw) with cams + HKS TO4ZR turbo at 23psi (post #1602) -

Im interested to know what sized rear housing and wheel is on the rear of a t04z, surely its not 1.6 like a few t04z's. We recently experimented with a mates RB20 with forgies and all sorts and made 291rwkw on 16psi with a gt3540 with a 1.06 rear. However out boost curve is identical to the power curve and never levels out...LOL! however this 20 made 30psi quickly and leveled out. Any insite jeff as to what could cause such a gradual boost curve? Got cams n all.

Yeah i noticed that too, the extra capacity of the rb24 and big cams really help. You can see how we run much more boost for the same power but i am honestly surprised that a totally stock rb20 head can flow as much as it does with standard cams. The ports and valves are pretty small.

I think it is cool that both these engines are running on remapped standard ecu. :)

Hi Ryan, the turbo is actually a GT4094R - garrett 751470-20

If you are having problems with lazy spooling the things to look for would be exhaust manifold leaks, wastegate leaking, cam timing.

yea thanks jeff, its got a pair of jun cams and cam gears, full rebuild with aries pistons, we tuned it ourselves with a microtech ltx12s, i think its just the nature of the turbo and 20 combination....goes like an animal nonetheless, cheers for your advice. we'll tinker a little bit more.

by the looks of things its around 160km/h so around 3800-4000rpm depending on the ratio. Keeping in mind, depending on what bleeder/controller you are using boost will be a bit flatter if it isn't so high because the actuator will start to open sooner with lower boost. Only slightly tho.

Thats some pretty sik numbers Jeff, (around 500hp) good effort.

That magical 400kw figure doesn't seem too far away with a decent cam profile.

I noticed you've decreased spring travel to increase the rate & seat pressure, as long as there is no chance of binding & room for more lift I can't see why you wouldn't get even more impressive numbers.

We must hook up as discussed a few weeks ago when I get back from QLD, cheers.

PS: As others have already stated here, it sounds like you'll get a better reception here as opposed to ns.com

Sorry to dig up an old thread i was just after some info on the re shimmed stock valve springs if anyone can enlighten me???

I have HKS 264 cams (cant remember the lift) to go into my RB20 and wasn't keen on upgrading the valve springs if i didn't have to :thumbsup:

Just wondering who it was that shimmed them, whats involved and roughly how much it cost???

Cheers Ben

mate seems like turbo tune ain't change much since back in 05/06 they overtuned my engine which almost went bang, before i ripped it out and put a new one in then took it blackwood dyno got a tune from them sudden;y more power better response and it didn't wanna go bang anymore,

then they told me wasn't us it was u!!!

for the 1500 bucks i spent on rb25det including buying and installing and tuning (only 40,000ks on engine) i didn't bother trying to chase it up legally would have cost me to much then

thats my glowing recommendation for turbo tune love ya!!

dude, im not saying your wrong or right etc.... i just want to clarify the rb20 that they have built was a lazy engine that was replaced my a fresh one out of a customers car, which had been laying around, they put it in an s14 shell, used a whole heap of parts laying around and FOR A LAUGH tried to find the limits of the motor, It was over a few beers, a few mates and a few laughs after hours and im pretty sure they intended to blow it up, It was by no means an example of what they'd deliver to a customer in any way...

whats the highest safe amount of boost to run with a stock rb25?

do a search man, i personally wouldn't run any more than 17-18psi which a thicker headgasket.

Ryan... the soloution for chris's car is simple.....

Nitrous. And Lots of it. :blush::D

I am also intending running 1.1 - 1.2 bar with stock head gasket.... not pushing the same power as you though Simon. :thumbsup:

    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
