Hi guys,

Had my car tuned recently and many people have looked at the chart and think its a high possibility that the capacity has been raised on my RB20. Personally, I think its still a 2 litre but with so many people thinking otherwise I thought I would post it here to get a few more thoughts.

Engine: RB20DET - Red top eccs 12 port.

Mods: (R31 GTSR) Factory front mount, TO3/4E, long runner exhaust manifold ( black hpc ), pod ( no cai ), 3 inch exhaust and stand alone management. 12 psi.

So whats peoples thoughts?

Im voting its a 2.0L

But im thinking your turbo setup makes a bit more power lower down then mine. Im installing a new housing on my turbo this week so will hopefully look a little more like yours when im done, but i think you will find somehting with 2.5L will make a bit more ramping on to boost at 3,500-3,800rpm

Some forgies and 2.2L perhaps:)

Been looking for this thread.:cheers:

I know for a fact that my engine is std, and my figures are as follows:

3,500rpm - 78rwkws your making about 4rwkws more then me:) So im guessing its a std displacement RB20.

What i really want to know is the turbo the std GTS-R turbo? The figures below are from my tune with 17psi. Does anyone know the cam specs of the RB20DET-R, i know they are different, but i have never been able to find out exactly what they are

Approximately my thing is making...

4,000rpm - 150rwkws

4,500rpm - 196rwkws

5,000rpm - 216rwkws

5,500rpm - 232rwkws

6,000rpm - 234rwkws

6,500rpm - 230rwkws

7,000rpm - 218rwkws

Our turbos seem to be very similar in response and performance, but you do it with 5psi less boost:thumbsup:

Could this be as simple as cams?!?!?!

Ahh32...any news:)

There you go Fat GTS-R...excuse my formatting, i only plotted as many points as i needed to get the general trending right :headspin:

I have changed my tune, i reckon you might have a stroker of some sort:thumbsup:

Even if it is only a set of oversized pistons and 2.2L, something is going on...at 3,000rpm im making 5psi and you have 14rwkws more then me....and typically im running 5-6psi more boost pressure for about the same power:confused:

Id say your on a good thing with that engine, time for some more boost, say another 5psi. Based on my engine making another 20rwks with an extra 3psi, then is day you are well on your way to a nice and punchy 250-260rwkw setup:thumbsup:

And having a closer look at your dyno plot at high revs, i suspect that the power drop off came from a lift off the throttle...?

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
