Another R32 Money Pit


Recommended Posts

How much ignition are you running in your RB20 tune? It looks one the boost hits there isnt really much gained hp wise from more revs and the torque seems to die off real quickly.

The RB25 setup with the T67 looks the goods!

As much as it took without stopping making power... I think it was around 26 top end but don't quote me on that! Wouldn't ping regardless haha

That might be the small ports/factory intake etc holding the RB20 back, what turbo was on the 20 Simon?

Hypergear ATR43G3 0.63

Actually ended up going 517rwhp (386rwkw) without correction...

So that is a 127hp more than the RB20, plus it's 700rpm quicker to come on boost and nearly doubles torque between 3000rpm-5000rpm

Does nothing but burnouts in pretty much all gears

awesome build man nice power curve as well, and i'm tossing between this T67 vs GT35r -82r or GTX35r for my RB30det build

but i am on limited budget (2500) if you dont mind me asking how much is this turbo setup roughly ? turbo+gate and mani cheers

GTX35r are still very expensive and without exaust housing so my main choise would be T67 or GT35r looking for 400kw

I would go this any day over a GT3582R, I have a pretty low opinion of them. The will probably make a bit more power but a fair bit laggier... GTX3582R is massive so you would probably be better at looking at a GTX3076R for similar sizing!

Turbo $879

Manifold $1300

Gate $375

If you were doing a Garrett add about a extra $500 for braided lines and double the price of the turbo (GTX probably a bit more)

mebbe...but i dont buy into that snmall port thing. An RB20 has larger valve area per cylinder then an SR20 so dont see that as being the problem. You only need ports and valves mig enough to cover the displacement of each cylinder...other wise velocity, cylinder filling etc goes to crap. Probably more to do with teh lil internal gate turbo with a small housing on funny fuel meaning the thing had so much back pressure it woudldnt take any ignition up top ?!?!?!?

Not sure what the issue was, it really did hit a brick wall at that power... but I'm pretty sure it had plenty of timing top end :)

Was in pretty average condition yesterday, gave it a nice clean and a bit of a fix up last night and looks heaps better now. Going to try a few things with it soon to get it looking nice and fresh soon. The old Brix will end up my passenger seat when I can find or swap my drivers rail for a passenger one.

Getting ready to track the Booga a fair bit soon so thought it might be a good idea to try and drop under bonnet temps a little bit... First on the list a Turbo Beanie and also have a roll of heat wrap that I'm going to do the dump with on the weekend :)

Did the heat wrap on the dump today and finally got around to taking it for a quick burst with the new turbo bag (in the 38 degree heat)... All went really well, got back and could put my hand on the turbo bag for a few seconds so I guess the heat would have been around 70deg which would be several hundred lower than what it was originally. Dump was also cool enough for a quick touch.

The whole engine bay is now a fair whack colder, so job done. Now just time to get it back on the dyno :)

Went back for a touch up on the tune last night...

Ran a bit more boost and a bit more revs and it made a little more top end and mid range, also set up low boost for track work at 1.3bar and made 350rwkw or 475rwhp!

Here is the graph of the high boost run (note that correction being put on made a extra 20rwkw) so pretty similar top end to my last run

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
