Disco Patato On Rb20

I have just put one of these (GT28RS) on rb20 and results are different then expected. Has anyone else have one on there rb20. I don't wont 2530 results even though should be similar.

Without a specific tune, power feels good but seems to be laggier then expected with 1.1 bar by 4300rpm!? Any comparisions would be good.

BTW Mods include: Power FC, AVCR, FMIC, GTR injectors, Z32, Pump, full exhaust, cold air intake and heat shield.

Thanks

i was thinking of getting one of those for my R34 25 GTT. i expected full boost by 2800.

only reason is i need response not top end plus its up to 350hp apparently and i definatly wouldnt want more than that sorta power

Had some great help at GT Auto in croydon putting the turbo on. Needs adapters, new dump pipe, and new water and oil lines. Actuator also needs some fabrication. Wayne at GT is the guy you want.

Anyone have even have an idea whether my results are on the right track??

It seems pretty laggy for a 2530 equivalent. The discos rated around the mid 300 hp mark, my old highflow rated at 470-480 (stage 2 gcg) was coming on around the same point.

I think the step down at the adapter could be causing a few problems, maybe. I would have thought the turbo would be making decent boost at 3500 or so.

What is the response like? Is it coming on really slowly initially than shooting up to 1.1bar or is it building to say .6 quickly and then slowly rising to 1.1?

It could be the way your boost controller is set up.

When I picked my car up after a shitload of work and money it would only boost to about 9 psi then creep up to 14 as the revs approaches 6.5k.

I then found out that for some crazy reason my bleed valve was completely shut. Opened it up and all better :P

Thats what I thought. Response is just what you discribe, comes on really slow then bang you have all of it, which is getting annoying for wheel spin, and overtaking where you get the delay before taking off. What is that caused by. I have checked the obvious - leaks and actuator preload.

You seem to be getting big turbo/small engine type response but a disco isn't a big turbo.

Can you check the part number? Check it against the numbers listed on www.turbobygarrett.com .GT2860RS is the disco i think.

    • Oh, yeah, no arguing that the duty cycle is different. And a circuit car will go to those speeds for more distance and longer times. But, I suspect that if a tailshaft has a harmonic problem, that it would cause damage and shit itself maybe even on the first pass. A second or two of running at the resonant/harmonic problem speed is already a couple hundred revolutions.
    • Shaft speed would be the same, however it's how long they hold it there for and repeated conditions. FWIW half way down the main straight at SMSP I'm bouncing off 4th with a 8600RPM limiter. That shaft would be spinning at 8600RPM for a few seconds before I need to smash the brakes, by T2 it's getting close to that speed again. Now a drag car/roll race car would see that shaft speed for a 1 to 2 secs then they would coast, hit the brakes and that's it.
    • With same diff ratio, tyre diameter and road speed, the tailshaft rpm is the same regardless of the gearbag's ratio. Given that very quick drag cars are probably doing similar road speeds to the fastest circuit cars (circa 300 km/h), and there will be many of either category that can't go that fast and so you'd have inummerable matchups between drag and circuit car speeds at smaller numbers, and given that they are probably using rather similar tyre diameters and probably using similar diff ratios, and...where any of those numbers were different they could quite easily be in opposite directions thus cancelling out.... I think you'd find that there'd be more similarity than difference in tailshaft speed between these two use cases, no?
    • they might see those prop shaft speeds for 1 to 2 secs only 
    • A year of slogging through this bearing issue and finally fixed. What a nightmare. The oil pressure increase did not fix the problem. If you would like to read all the details in case you ever run into a similar issue visit my thread on Yellow Bullet. https://www.yellowbullet.com/threads/continuous-rod-bearing-issues.2689569/?post_id=74193031&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-74193031 In the end the rod bearings themselves were the issue. I had switched from ACL (first engine) to King because that was all we could get at the time and I thought nothing of it. Put the ACL's back in after a year of taking the pan off multiple times to change many things. Issue resolved. Can't believe it was just the bearings themselves all along. It has now been about two years since I drove the car on the street or had it at the track. At some point I had installed all solid and spherical bushings in the rear but had never aligned it since it just went on and off the dyno. Alignment was the first thing to do. (Old photo but same concept) Then I took the transmission out and went through it. This was my first gearset install and I've done about 15 since this one and learned a lot and wanted to apply some of these tweaks to mine. The aftermarket shift forks take very well to some modification and I wanted to make that change. Shifts are now super smooth and no having to find the gear. I also recut the 5th and reverse shift sleeves - always wanted to try this and see how well it works. It works very well! No grinds or having to do a second attempt going into reverse and 5th is perfect. Before During After Going back in In rummaging through my spare trans parts box I found the only parts I've ever broke on a stock trans; the 3-4 shift fork - twice!
