I have a GTS-R with an internal wastegated TO4E.

According to most peoples thoughts and what I have searched for on the net on my RB20DET-R it should not make full boost untill approx. 5,000rpm.

Now it is at full boost at 3550rpm. The only mods are 3inch cat back, pod and GREDDY under bonnet boost controller ( non electronic ).

It made 135kw at wheels on 0.56BAR on NIZPROS dyno.

Would it sound feasible that the previous owner modified the turbo to promote earlier boost responce?

And if so would this sacrifice the HP potential of the turbo had it not been touched?

Hi, I'm not claimimg to be in expert here - but something sounds wrong here to me.

Maybe you are not realising 'full' boost on your setup @ 3550 RPM? 0.56 bar what's that 8 PSI ? You should be able to get more than that out of the T04e - which would come on later then 3550

I've just gone thru a bit of a time consuming 'experiment' on my RB25DET. I was running a T04e compressor (.60AR) with a VG30 exhuast housing (internally gated)

At 9PSI I was getting 200rwkw - boost reached 9PSI by 3800 RPM

At 14 PSI I was getting 250 rwkw - full boost by about 4300 RPM

Max power we could get out of the turbo was 255 rwkw with boost wound up to 19 PSI - turbo started 'cavitating' (what ever the hell that means - to me it means that the turbo ran out of effeciency)

I know that out engines are different, so this only a guide.

Have you tried turning up you boost to .7 or .8 bar ?

Cheers,

The R31 RB20 has more aggressive cams according to the Tomei site, also, the problem with a term like 'full boost' is it's very arbitary.

My full boost is 1.7bar, but my turbo makes 1.2bar ar around 4150rpm.

B-man, cavitating I believe is compressor surge (reaching the surge line on the compressor map). The turbine is out of its efficiency range, I think you may find that the turbine housing/wheel is a bit small for the compressor. If you have a read of BOOSTDs thread about his $350 turbo, it may explain things a bit better. He was experiencing similar problems with his hybrid, and managed to find a few fixes.

Thanks Steve - yeah the turbo people have offered to change over the wheels, which would increase lag in the quest for more power right ? -

I'm thinking of a HKS3040 with HKS manifold too. Steve did you get my e-mails ?

Sorry FATGTS-R - i'm off topic....

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By bcozican · Posted

      it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes

      I'm far from an expert, but for sticking bits of metal together occasionally I got a MIG, the biggest one I could get with a 10a plug (because while I have some 15a GPOs around, they are not everywhere).  Also, because I get through SFA, I just buy the small disposable gas bottles at Bunnings, I'm not opening a BOC account to get through 1/10th of a full size bottle each year

      Ignore the BOV / recirc valve question. You have an NA and shouldn't have one. If there magically is one though... It should be removed, though it shouldn't really effect it in the way one will for a turbo motor with it venting to atmosphere while running an afm.
