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.

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:

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:

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
