Hi guys, how many of us have seriously stuck with an RB20 to get the most power out of them.

I have an RB20 N/A engine which I'm turbocharging. Now without spending big bucks on the bottom end with wanky rods and pistons, I'm going to play with all the engines systems to get them flowing at maximum and protecting the rotating assemblies. It should be fairly well tunned with an Autronic SMC attached, so how much boost will they handle before you bend a rod or fry a piston.

Keeping in mind that I'll be keeping it away from detonation.

Thanks

Turbine

Have just had my RB20 DE+T tuned today is running GTR injectors and pump FMIC T04 with 63 rear housing running 14psi no problems apart from the RB20 AFM run out of tuning resolution. Going to change to Z32 and go for a re tune. Currently on 270rwhp was up around 305 but way too lean to survive.

Cheers

Craig

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 馃槂

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
