Operation Engine Makeover

You wouldnt want to boost it up too much with a ceramic turbo.

but skylines run at 7psi stock, so would think the turbo would run better around the 10 mark at least, and we aint talking crazy boost like 1 bar

yeh mate... a s13 i owned last year had a stock standard rb20 with standard turbo and we ran it on 12psi... driven daily no probs at all. wouldnt put it any higher though

[Aza]

i know the turbo can handle more..... look at chris's bmw with the rb20det, stock turbo running 15psi.... **** it flies now. as i said right now im happy, im sure later on down the track the speed wont be enough but for now my sights are set on different things. got 2 months left and the car needs a respray and a few other things for autosalon.... that what my eyes are set on, speed is great but its not everything, whats the point in having a fast car if it looks like a shit box. so yea atm.... all money going to respray and the other few things for salon. when i do get a boost controller i want a dual stage one so i can run 6 psi most of the time... o well for now 6psi is all it has u guys are just ganna have to accept it till i build my money back up... boost controller i want isnt cheap . i do have a manual boost controller in the shed but dont want to use that one.

What boost controller you want? Greddy profec B spec 2??

[[SDCTVE]]

Aza has ur engine been rebuilt? pistons, rods..etc? if not i dont recommend you run more then 8 psi for the sake of the life of the engine...

[Aza]

mate its not how much boost u run its the power u make with that boost. as long as i dont go well over 200hp (250hp max) im not even ganna think about doing internals. like i said i want a dual stage boost controller so i would only be running that for short periods rest of the time i will be back on my 145hp

You're Dreaming. His car can only handle the 6psi because thats whats effiecient for it. Sure he can run another 6psi, but for how long and how much extra power. What makes you think by boosting another 6psi on the D series will munch a k20?

I'm not putting your car down Aza. You put your own hard work and money into it. As long as you enjoy it, nothing else matters However, reality kicks in and power is alot harder to gain than you really think it is. Numbers don't mean shit, We just gotta wait for the timeslips.

DOnt try and tell me whats going on.

His car can take 12psi, no problems. The Skyline T3 48/63 (NOT T28??? wtf) is small but efficent.

Area under the curve. Have u seen his dyno plot? Peak power at 5500rpm, and a fat torque curve that peaks at 4500rpm. Peak power is such a narrow minded view.

You do not understand. Aza can make alot more HP. He chooses not to. Dont make mass generlisations just because Aza is scared.

yeah yeah, just like mr cyanide who is running 9 or 10 psi in a light ass crx with his big claims to beat all NA cars, who got munched by a k20 eg sedan in full trim, lmao, it was so slow it didn't even look like he was racing.

[JasonGilholme]

hahah all these people saying that they can't win cause they've got full interior hahaha.

Its like people with turbo's saying they can't win cause they need a few more PSI or a retune lol.

To give you guys some more examples, i turbocharged my GF's D16Y8. 10psi of boost from a modded T28 (bigger turbines) stock internals. we produced 158kw to the wheels and she drove it for well over 6months as a daily driver with no problems (I then decided to all out and do a rebuild for more power).

The only thing that i would recommend is that you buy the ARP headstuds for the engine as through my research, D16Y head bolts tend to stretch under boost (apparently a common problem in the States). Prime symptoms for this are your radiator spewing fluid out and overheating.

Maby ive missed somthing, but whats that got to do with anything, who are you talking to?

[Aza]

lol who says anything about being scared. i CANNOT run anymore boost as the car sits... no boost controller, hell don't u guys understand that haha. no money for the one i want either and right now its not that important. hell u guys fight like girls over things that dont even mean shit. honestly, who cares how much boost u run or how much power u put out, or how fast ur car can do a quater. all that matters is that u are happy with ur setup and it suits ur needs. u dont need to impress anyone else or beat anyone else. its all just fun its not like we are professional racers or anything. i would really appreciate if my thread didnt turn into some girly bitchy whing fight.
