Is My Rb20 Pushing Low Power?

[r33 dylan]

Hi guys, so I recently got an adaptronic e420c installed and tuned in my 32 (rb20det) but we only made 150rwkw at 14psi.

Basically stock Apart from fmic, 25 turbo and full exhaust system and bigger fuel pump.

I was just wondering is that relatively a normal power to see with such mods as I was talking to another bloke who was running the same set up except aftermarket coilpacks and made 207rwkw

Cheers in advance

That's almost stock power

[r33 dylan]

Stock is like 132kw isn't it? I'm not familiar with rb20s and what power they should be making so thought I'd seek some wisdom here

I seen and been in an R31 that seemed respectable in its acceleration, got dyno tuned without the shitty intercooler and totally stock , pumped out 100kw, it had 150psi across the 6 and ran fine... so sounds like its doing pretty good to me

160kw at the fly. I don't know at the treads

120 - 130 depending on the dyno and the car a litttle.

I made 174 with a bigger sidemount and a rb25 turbo

FWIW, ~170-180 is achievable on the standard turbo if you have good intake plumbing, cooler, exhaust and tuning.

188kw with above and a 2530 on my black gtst Sin. Silly buyer who bought it off me took out a metal bustop on a circle. Lucky there was no one waiting for a bus.

My tuner predicted about 170-180 and we were both shocked when it wouldn't go past 150... Anything simple that could be holding it back ?

What were the mixtures? What was the timing at peak power? IAT? Other factors?

I'm not 100% certain dude, I'll be going back to him Monday so I can ask him then but I guess for now it just makes what it makes.

Would definitely love more power but

I have a r32 gtst rb20 and am getting almost 190kw at the tyres factory turbo fmic power fc and eboost 2

go back on the dyno, drop the cat and run dump/down to atmosphere and pump in a few degrees of timing after peak torque (of course monitoring knock)

my rb20det was 187kw atw and all it had was intercooler front mount, full exhaust, hi flowed rb25 turbo running at 12-16 psi(cant remember exactly) and a tune. Seriously you should be pumping out much more power, your car is obviously bottlenecking the power somewhere and you should figure out where. Most likely the rb20det turbo and tune. Rb20 turbo is shit and a proper tune would make a world of difference.
