Hi every one I'm looking for answers on intercooler piping for a rb20 with a top mount turbo. Will I need a front facing plumum or is there any other way. I can make the plenum that's no worries but I would like to keep the stock item as it would have no worries with my power needs.

your stock cooler pipng (crossover pipe) will be directly where your high mount turbo will sit. so you'll need some custom piping. check out roys crossover pipe in the build up forum, but of course something like that will only work if you have a front mount...

Hey guys sorry for not replying sooner I tried the piping that way and wasn't really happy with it so I tool it to myself to make a plenum and I'm hoping it will work what I did was remove top half of the stock plenum and blocked it off and filled it with water to c how many liters of water it held then I fabricated a plenum to the same size and capacity being a fabricator myself was easy. The plenum is made from 3 mm ally with a 6 mm base to connect to the bottom runners it holds 4.1 liters a bit more then stock but if to big I'll just make it smaller best part of the plenum I can still use stock accelerator cable and most of the fittings. Now my only thing I'm wondering about the air regulator is it needed or can I just get rid of it? I'll post a photo of how it looks. The car is going on the dyno soon just need the new fuel pump which is coming on tuesday and tell you if I lost or made power. Before the plenum and top mount the car made 187 kw with 12.5 pound with a rb20 exhaust housing and vg30 compressor wheel and housing please let me know about the regulator

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
