really comes down to the inspector you get

some say you need a engineering cert some arent fazed

ive passed with a high mounted Supra before but i had engineering cert

and the inspector really just have it a quick once over

Bubba's also had success passing with his rb30 in his r32 (but that as on a standard setup)

best thing is just pay the $83 and see what they want you to change

I believe ossie had to get his car engineered.

TBH, the highmount will cause dramas. I have done mine in phases, Phase.1 was get the RB30 in, running and licensed - I think the fact that it looked stock under the bonnet and the fact that power delivery wasn't huge turboish, helped. Phase.2 is highmount turbo and I'll cross the licensing bridge when I get to it.

O true well the motor is already in and running looks stock as a rock besides the foward faceing plenum and high mount,, its a bit hard to hook up a standad setup without water lines any more lol, ived used all the rb20 cam and rocker covers so sould be sweet,, if not i will just have to buy a Standard Rb20det just to get over the pits

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
