Im looking to get more power out of my rb20det, its running a td05 big 16g at the moment making about 205kw at the wheel.. the link below shows the dyno sheet of a 221kw @ 23psi run that ended up with detonation so we cut the boost back a bit.

All mods are on this link:

I believe the 'older' Link ecu is to blame as their website states ver 5 links can only boost to around 23psi at most.. I dont want to turn this into a LINK ECU bashing thread but rather whats the best cost effective way of reaching around 250wkw with my current setup..

Obvious ideas at the moment are:

upgrade to a better ecu

bigger turbo

upgrade to greddy or similar intake plenum

Are there other options I've overlooked???

Im personally thinking of getting a bigger turbo and to hell with the lag (got plenty already as you can see in the dyno graph) I dont have to stay with the mitsi turbo's, can easily snatch up a standard exhaust manifold for cheap and revert back to the original flange setup.. But am lost as to what turbo to get, can the turbo guru's help me out on this one? Thanks..

Alright so an 18G compressor will fit into a Td05 will it? sounds very tempting although i've got a cheap chinesy turbo on at the moment so dont wanna throw any money at that.. can you or anyone recommend a turbo similar to a Td05 with 18G compressor that I can buy new?

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
