hey guys,

i have an rb20det in my s13 with a r33 hi flow turbo... it is currently running 12psi through a gfb bleed valve and when it spools up under load up a hill or something it will kind of stutter and the bov will be going crazy untill you hit around 6500rpm and it will start to pull! is it to big for the 20?

is there anyway i would be able to fix this?

it has:

Stock ECU

Stainless Split Dump Pipe

Hybrid FMIC

Custom 2.5" Intercooler Piping

2.5" Dump Back

Bosch 040

thanks in advance :)

take your bov off and see if that will help it could be leakin... maybe search for a vac leak? or it could be coil packs, plugs or your fuel pump... check for leaks first change you plugs them borrow a good set of coilpacks if it doesn't sort it? also could be your fuel flitter long shot but they do funny things sometimes...

sounds like compressor surge. the turbo is developing more air at that rpm range than the engine can eat.

but without a tune you really don't know what you are dealing with. who built the hiflow?

i had an rb25hiflow on an rb20 and it was insane, 240rwkw and smooth as factory. you can tune the standard ecu to fix the problem if needed, pm me for more details if needed. cheers

that would be my best guess... will a re-map fix this or even a safc?

its a gfb vee-port :laugh:

oh and it dosent detonate so would be plugs or coils

Make sure the BOV is adjusted/tensioned propperly if its an adjustable one. It might be set too weak.

took the vacuum line off the bov today n took it for a drive and its still doing it out the pod filter :P its not so bad in 2nd gear... if u gradually accelerate it will do it but if u flatten it, it will do fine n hit boost hard n wheelspin but 3rd and 4th u cant even get it to boost smoothly...

Compressor surge.

Most likely because the turbo was built for a 2.5L not 2L.

Depending on what compressor wheel has been used and how much meat is left in the inlet snout you may be able to have some port shrouding machinated into the compressor cover.

If there is not enough meat left in the snout. The snout on the factory compressor cover will need to be machined off and a bigger inlet snout machined up and put in with the port shrouding in it.

Where are you located?

Maybe take the turbo back to where you purchased it and see if they can help.

I’d say they will probably want to charge to do either option since the turbo was for a RB25 but see how you go.

If you have no luck MR Turbo Australia / Billet Turbochargers can help you out.

Regards,

Ricky.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
