Sounds like you are challenging me for the most overcapitalised RB20 in history.

I'm glad im not the only one wasting  spending money on these buckets

It's different when you're connected :)

I know what happens BTS.

I am also well connected ?i much prefer wasting my own time and building everything myself that wasting somebody elses time on an RB20 ? 

Funny you're still not powered by a 4G63T haha

Haha they are to reliable for me. Need that stock 30 year old Nissan 'will I make it where I'm going or will I break my oil pump halfway there' feeling to keep me comfortable. It does annoy me how quickly they spool turbos though and Benny has got them dialled.

It's the stroke and the head, light years ahead of the Nissan boat anchors.

Might need your services one day to convert to DBW, install a couple of hall effect sensors and get traction control going ?

I would convert to DBW in a heartbeat if the only real option to keep the ITB setup wasnt 4k AUD. It's so so much better than cable its stupid. I have never dabbled with kebabtech traction control but with MoTeC it works flawlessly ?

There was talks of someone on this forum using the ITB DBW from a BMW on this forum, but not sure if it materialised. Maybe you can be the first hahaah

Mines just a single TB on a Plazmaman intake, not the ITB setup so it's nothing fancy. This is from last year.

any particular reason for converting to DBW? do you now have cruise control or anything?

It's a race car and has Motec everything so DBW is used for idle control and I'm a big believer 'in if it's worth doing, it's worth over doing'

I wanted a forward facing TB and would have had to purchase a larger unit anyway so there was essentially no significant cost difference between DBW and a cable throttle.

You get to piss off the idle control valve and aux air control valve (both are slow and lazy).

@Komdotkom any plans to run traction control?

Yes, it's got most of the Motec catalogue in it so runs just about everything you can think of. Just missing tyre temp sensors and suspension position sensors I think.

At the moment it runs 'traditional' Motec traction control strategy but I was considering a DBW TB in the intake pipe after the IC to bleed off boost as a form of TC which was very effective because it doesn't impact engine speed an efficiency as much as other strategies. A mate ran his IPRA car like this with excellent results.

I must win the over capitalisation contest then, my RB20 is DBW!

It makes me so mad that a genuine Bosch DBW throttle is only about $400 installed and that its 10x the price to do it on ITB, sadpanda.you go 68 or 74mm?

It was Stephen from IEE and even after talking to him it was still the best part of 2.5k AUD and that was before the 'rona and AUD tanking. I just decided to absolutely tap out my M130 instead haha.

You running M1 or gold box? Would need M150 minimum to run that or a DBW4 unit. Unless you plan to run it as an actuator on a DHB and have no feedback loop?

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
    • Yeah, my offer was more to show exactly how rough and ready the rig can be and still be useful. Youtube vids will definitely show cleaner setups. Same concept though.
    • I would guess the seal has gone down at the speedo drive and gearbox oil has crept up the drive cable sheath and fouled the speedo head.
