More updates, mostly cleaning, sanding, and getting ready to drill the holes.
I think it's going to be a real clean white, so I am doing the bay white first, then swap the drivetrain, and worry about the exterior later.
Next week is the real work, final measure/fitting/drilling.

Well time to update.
As most people know, the RB turbos are made of ceramic turbine wheels that are epoxied on the shaft.
Well, after 18 years of 100,000+rpm operation the wheels tend to fly off.
So without changing manifolds and wastegates, and fuel injectors, etc, here's the setup I will be using.
The EVOIII 16G Turbo is a killer 2.0 liter turbo that:
-Spools fully (20psi) by 3000rpm on a 2.0
-Will pull to 7500-8000 rpm on the right setup
-Is cheap as hell! ($560 brand new)
-Internally gated (No external setup required)
-Kicks a T3 Super 60's ***!
-Will be perfect on the RB20DET
A FMIC will be added, as well as a new Walbro 255lph, and an Aeromotive AFPR.
But that's about it...

PSi is relative. What you are really looking for is cylinder pressure. This is caused by three things:
-Static Compression ratio of the engine (I.E. 8.5:1, 9.0:1, etc)
-Total timing at WOT used (This is determined by the fuel you are using)
-Boost pressure
Pick two out of three is a good rule of thumb for US pump fuel.
But typically, with this engine on 91 octane US fuel, around 20-25 psi with conservative timing (16-18 degrees).
At this boost level, the EVOIII 16g can make around 340-370 hp to the wheels.
This turbo can also produce 30-32psi with the right setup.
