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 :)

Out with the old Bride Brix...

and in with the new, Bride Zeta II :)

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

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
