BYBY,

I am taking 200+rwkw to be about 310HP at the flywheel. I dont think the stock turbo can move this much air at 1bar. At least why would you go a 2530 for a power increase when they are rated at about 310/20 HP?

they are rated to that but we all know that a HKS2530 will support 250rwkw @ 1.5bar..HKS underrate there turbo's a fair bit

how do they make 250rwkw (backed up by a 11 sec pass) on a RB20 @ 1.5bar then?

if they can do it on a RB20, it can be done with a Rb25

it was 247rwkw but hey, whos counting

the stock R33 turbo will flow 200rwkw @ 1bar

Moving into less known territory here but I think because the RB20 requires less air. I'm guessing it would have to have less torque too but it's probably in a lighter car with who knows what other mods for an 11 second pass.

People here have tried it on an RB25 and despite others telling them that they can get 250 they never can. There is all sorts of talk about boost controllers and waste gates actuators but in the end it doesn't seem to be able to push enough air into the RB25.

I'm sure a stock turbo can push 200 rwkw at 1 bar, in fact, probably at a little under one bar.

they are rated to that but we all know that a HKS2530 will support 250rwkw @ 1.5bar..HKS underrate there turbo's a fair bit

I think I have been trying in the to say that (in the distant past) 200rwkw at 1 bar translates to 300hp at the motor or less. My speculation was about actual engine power. dyno readings are to me like peices of toilet paper when used for inane comparisons between cars. The 1/4 mile time for the Rb20 powered thingo is more interesting. I'd be more swayed to buying a turbo based on what it 'does' in the real world when setup correctly. ;)

Hey guys.... Im bulding a sub 11 sec car myself and noticed a few of you going for the davis craig thermos.... if you are looking for cheaper alternative, go for a 2nd hand vn-vs v6 thermo... i hooked mine up to the sensor on the manifold. The clutch fan uses more energy than you wood believe... and worse it sounds terrible when cold :P

Hi sorry I dont know if this has been mentioned yet but can you guys provide a DIY style info guide to removing fluid clutch style engine fan and how to replace with a thermo fan.

I'd like to give this a go if you guys say it produces more power but I havent got a clue how,

PRESA,

It doens't make more power but, rather reduces inertia. Makes the car accelerate faster anyway so who cares?

It's best if you remove the radiator. Once you have done that everthing is just an unbolt and bolt on affair. I'm sure if you have some experience working on your cars then it's too easy. If not a step by step is not going to help if you can't work out whats in front of you.

There are 4 bolts holding the cluth fan on. undo them whilst the fan belt is still on (holds the pulley in place).

With the radiator out this will be very easy.

line up the thermo fan on the radiator so as to retain the fan shroud (you must keep this to gain the maximum cooling effect).

Wire up the the connections needed and the relay ready for the thermo fan.

bolt it back up and fill with coolant , remember to bleed the air out.

test.

my opinion

200rwkw would be more than 300 engine hp.

300hp = 225kw. You would loose more than 25kw throught the drive train.

eg

standard r33 gtst engine power 187 and and 135rwkw rough estimation.Thats 52 KW. Id say 200rwkw would be closer to 250kw+ at the engine which is arround 335hp.

cheers

Sold it before I got to the track again to try. The last run it ever did was 13.3@106mph and a 2.3 60ft (205 tyres), so in a nut shell with wider rear tyres a high 12 would have been pretty easy, the 60ft just needed to be about 2.1.

There are now quite a few r33's with stock turbo's that can lay claim to the 12 second title. I'm not sure if any of them did it with the stock intercooler though?

I've got a GTR work car now that is more fun to drive, I had to sell the GTST to get the GTR simple logic. The GTR will bolt in a mid 11 pretty easy. :P

I also had fitted a nitrous kit just before selling it and would have liked to have made a few passes with that on as well. 2rismo ended up with my old nitrous kit parts and after he added a few thing to it he got a stock turbo'd GTST into the 11's with a shot of the gas. Thats a good effort in anyones books.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
