ceff engine upgrade time!

[mongor]

hey chaps.. i kno this has probably been covered before but would appreciate peoples opinions on the matter, i have a fairly standard RB20det with exhaust, pod, boost controller and front mount.... recently i purchased a T3 ball bearing turbo with external gate. I am not a complete moron but would like some advice or somebodies knowledge on how else to equipe the motor for somewhere around 300rwhp

was thinking--- after market manifold fabricated to suit my gate

a walbro fuel pump

GTR or sard injectors

sequential BOV

re-mapped ecu or piggyback?

i need sort of mid range power for drift so to me, this application sounds about right... if anybody has done a similar engine enhancement to this it would be greatly appreciated if they could point me in the right direction of how they went about it and the power outcome.

thanks for your time :wassup:

the parts u listed there should get u close to that figure..

i also had a similar setup..

T3, rb20, GTR fuel pump, Boost COntroller, 2.5 inch turbo back zorst and Larger Cams, on around 13psi got me around the 170rwkw mark..

things missing were injectors, FMI and maybe a remapped ECU (toshi from the forums here can do it for like 200 bux) .. shoud bring it close to the 210 rwkw mark..

GTR - injectors = 250 bux

ECU = 200 bux

FMIC = 700 bux installed including the the GTR sized intercooler.

U might have to wind the the boost to say 15-16 pounds to get that much thou..

Ive seen that setup before..

gnarly cheers for the feed back man

i gotta get a t3 flange welded onto my manifold as the huffer is currently sporting a t4 pattern and modify the external gate situation to suit my normalair-garret waste gate... already got the cooler installed and its making reasonable horse power as is, but a little more couldnt hurt surely!

know anywhere i can get sum GTR injectors for 250 quid?

If you plan to use it for drift, in my opinion, the best thing you could do is sell up all the goodies you have for your RB (including engine) and do an SR20det converion. The conversion is very simple and makes the car SOOOO easy to slide you will be amazed. The extra tourque does not go astray either.

I have driven one SR cefiro, one SR laurel and frequently drifted another SR20 laurel (stock with 0.7bar boost and coilovers and diff) and i must say i was completing sections of Qld Raceway i could only have dreamt of in my RB powed laurel.

Go for the SR.

Yep agreed with the SR idea. I love my cefiro with the SR in it. You can stand in the engine bay to work on the engine. its great!

trust T_M_B to prmote the SR.. :wassup:

Mongor: u can get the injoctors off SAU for sale dude.. u should know that by now. Ive seen quite a few in past months sold for that much. They all ask for 300 buxx but neg.

go rb26 buddy

[mongor]

yer i used to pilot a SR 180.. cant beat the sound and kick of an sr but im quite content listening to my truck like RB at the mo... although an SR would give a lot less under steer wich is better for dori... tell u wat when i lunch my RB il gladly swap it for a black top sr or something---- dont really have the $ for a 26 i can hardly afford a big mac meal these days :headspin:

[sky80]

dont remind me of food man...i got my wisdom tooth out the other day...and my meals have to be able to fit through a straw

[Ceffo]

thats alright sky80. Now u can save money to get the rb26 up and running

[mongor]

hey all... sorry to re-kindle an old thread but any one that has done a T3 or other conversion how did u go with the oil lines for the turbo, like can use standard? my mate got one made up of a tephlon (spelling?) style pipe with braded coating cost him 100bux

proly should be in the mech section but i only read this thread! :kick:

cheers peeps!
