I'd say not much more than 200rwkw...

it seems the RB25 afm (which has same resolution as rb20) allows tuning on the Rb25 up to about 220rwkw.

considering you would need more boost (air in) in an RB20 to do it, 200rwkw is a good guess.

you would probably get close to 200rwkw with those mods at about 14-16 psi of boost.

Yeah thats what i would have thought but i read this & it sounds like i would be beta off with the 25.

"The VG30DET BB turbo really is not suited to the rb20. It is much better suited to a large capacity motor that requires a free flowing hotside.

It runs the same chra as the R32 rb20; meaning, the compressor wheel and turbine wheels are exactly the same.

The only difference being, the vg30det bb turbo runs larger compressor and turbine housings.

The rb25 turbo is most definitely an upgrade, it runs the same sized turbine housing as the rb20, (from what ive measured) but has a larger compressor and compressor cover.

The R34 RB25 turbo runs exactly the same larger vg30 turbine housing, with the larger comp cover and larger compressor."

hi mate there was a topic on this not so long ago. with SYDNEYKID having this to say on them

There is not a black and white answer to this question. Just because the AFM reaches 5.1 volts output doesn't always mean it has to be changed

The only time you really need an AFM upgrade is when unanticipateable changes in airflow occur, ie; not linear with rpm changes. At high rpm (ie; past boost build and camshaft timing effects) this shouldn't be an issue. The fuel and ignition requirements are satisfactorily driven off the rpm change.

Keeping the above in mind, I have seen an RB30 run quite happily on an RB20 AFM at 265 rwkw. I have also had to change an RB25 AFM at 225 rwkw because the airflow changes where unpredicable (ie; not linear with rpm).

I hope this helps you. As i am currently hoping my set up makes 220 an i will be using the standard afm which is a rb20 one.

Cheers Jamie

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
