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?

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
