Master Power Turbos ?

awesome!  ive been keeping an eye on these,  youre right about data being thin on the ground.  really good results too.  what were the other cars and model of mp that 'just worked'?

A RB25 powered GTS4 circuit car running a .82a/r R595 - I didn't really mention that because the car does circuit racing, not time attack but actual laps and laps of racing on stock bottom end and 98 octane so I wasn't really squeezing out it's full flow potential on the dyno... everything was done to ensure he could rely on it for laps on end.   It made ~295kw @ hubs on 98 octane at around 16psi, hitting target by around 4000rpm.

Another was an R545 with a .82a/r housing on a Honda F20B engine (2litre twin cam VTEC, a bit like a destroked H22A) in a Honda Accord.  That only had ~540cc injectors so was not making big power either, but was making good boost by 4000rpm - again another one I never got specific on because the turbo clearly had plenty of flow to spare, the power figure (just over 200kw @ hubs on ~10psi) wasn't going to do it justice.

thanks for the reply mate.  i was looking at either the r595 or r545 for an unopened sr on 98 with around 18-20psi down its throat.  i like the 59/59 r595 wheel match a bit better than the 54/59 r545, but it would be fairly laggy id imagine.

What power are you aiming for, with what fuel etc?  Stock cams?   One of the things I tune has been running a Kinugawa TD05-16G6 with the 3" intake (TD06 style compressor) for the last few years - completely stock internals (including cams), and flex fuel on up to 20psi. Honestly, it is an amazing match imho.    I know it's not a Masterpower, but it works so well I don't know why you'd go for something different - especially if you are running with an external gate.  The thing can hit 20psi+ at around 3000rpm in higher gears, and has trapped at around 120mph in the 1/4 mile - is pretty rapid.

as above,  around 18-98 on pump 98 fuel.  unopened so yeah stock cams.  e85 is only available at a couple pumps in perth so im not really looking to go down that route.  my old car did 119-120mph passes id be pretty happy with that haha.  350rwhp would be nice,  so whats that around 280rwkw or there abouts?  makes 270rwhp on a disco pot at the moment and 110mph. and yes will be external gate.

Hang on - you are running a discopotato on 20psi already?   

I'm kind of inclined to think that there probably isn't a huge amount of point in upgrading the turbo and running 18-20psi without doing cams, the cams are potentially the limiting factor in your setup at the moment I'd have thought.    280kw @ wheels on 20psi with pump gas on stock cams sounds pretty optimistic, regardless of what turbo you use.

yeah at the moment 18psi, stock motor,  disco,  270rwhp.  

the other idea was to stay garrett and go up to a 3076. you reckon the stock cams will limit it regardless of what turbo?

I guess I haven't had HEAPS to do with SR20s, but they seem like they aren't that great on stock cams - at least from what I've seen so far a GT3076R would be a waste as you'd make well short of what they are capable of on 20psi but get heaps more lag.   For what it's worth, even with the 16G on 20psi the turbo seems to have more flow available

    • Hey Matt, Link pointed to the 2x IGN power sources from the car as a likely issue, and sure enough pin 31 in the loom does not have power when IGN is on (24 does). So at the ECU, (and this is probably the case for R32 as well as C34) most of the ECU loom goes through the firewall behind the blower motor and there are 2 plugs (of 3 in the junction box) which go up and under the dash, the third plug heads under the carpet to places unknown (likely a body to dash loom joint) So, I started to follow that problem through yesterday. Like Johnny (and R32) I assumed that power was supplied through the 2 connectors near the left headlight so I spent some time pulling the intake etc off and cleaning of 400,000klm of dirt and oil leaks and checking those pins, but there was nothing related to the engine parts or ignition fuses there (and no purple with white trace wire in either side of the connectors) Given that the wire didn't seem to go via the engine bay, I then checked there is continuity from Pin 31 to the second connector to confirm no wiring issue in the ECU loom (it looked likely, given how much that has been hacked up over the years!). The pin marked with the purple dot is the other end of the wire to Pin 31 Then I check for IGN power in the dash loom side of that connector with the key on. Nothing. Given that loom goes up and underneath the top of the dash there is no tracing it without taking the dash out, so I went to the driver's side to see if I can find the other end of that (I'm expecting to get to big body junction boxes after I pull enough apart). However, to get to those functions, I had to pull the covers off the drivers side, I'm pretty sure the problem is in this pic Yep, factory remote start (bottom right), local immobiliser (middle) surrounded by 20 years of butchery. Plan is to totally remove the remote start and immobiliser (I think I will lose remote central locking temporarily as a result) to remove all the suspect stuff given I have other more modern security in the car It's gonna take a while, and it is both cold and uncomfortable out in the shed, not looking forward to it.
    • Hey team,  The clutch on my newly bought 25 swapped r32 feels average and sticks half way. Went to go order a new clutch master but it does not look like the ones that suit the one that’s in the car…    does anyone know what clutch master is this just by looking ?  (The feed is on the side rather than the bottom like the ones the pop up online)  thanks guys new to the RB scene so any help is appreciated cheers !!
    • Id be more than happy to sign up!!! Where do I send the invoices for my fuel usage? I'm happy to provide the mower, oil, and the labour to abuse the motor, just a little help on fuel would be great...   I had tipped the container of oil out into my big "drip tray" and left the small container upside down to drain the oil out of itself overnight. PIcked the container up today, and it has a layer of what feels like either dirt, or shit tonnes of carbon in the bottom of the container. I'm leaning towards it likely being dust, as I doubt the quality of the Sunli BumbleBee having a decent air filter on it, and sections of my yard produce a dust storm, especially because of the high lift blade!   So, filled her up with some fresh Nulon. Seemed to run fine, but it seems to want to run at really high RPM (higher than normal) even with the governor spring slacked off after fire up to try reduce it. If I back the throttle off it a bit to drop the rpm to where I'd like it to be when mowing light grass, it starts to blow a bit of smoke out the exhaust. Opening the throttle back up clears that out. It's definitely breathing oil, as I put my hand down at the breather hose and it's spitting some oil.   My guess is it having been running at high rpm, oil never changed, and it eating dust has destroyed the rings. You know what that means? Time to send it!!!
    • That is what will seal with the bonnet closed. Follow it down while closing the bonnet to see where it ends up with the bonnet closed. The panels don't do anything other than spending money, which this one will do just fine. :p
    • Nah just send me a photo or a drawing and I'll tell you which is better.  It's a new SAU service.
