I am wndering if any of you turbo guru's out there might be able to enlighten me on if this seems like a good idea?

Now the GT2860RS discopotateo has had a good rap from what I have heard especialy on an RB20.

Now I am asking this as my brother unfornately became another victim of the ceramic wheel of his vg30 turbo that was on his RB20 (R32).

So we were thinking of doing this for a few resons.

1) The turbo will still look stock

2) The disco potateo seems to be a sweet turbo on smaller displacement motors

3) The vg rear housing will loosen up the power at the top end.

Now will this make it too laggy down low?

All so could anyone out ther be able to tell me what the A/rs are for the rear housings on the 3 different sized nissan turbos. (VG30/R34_Rb25, RB25, RB20).

Now I don't know alot about turbos aprt from there basic pricipals etc so I am sorry if I sound silly. :P

Thanx guys. B)

i should only be as laggy as the vg30 turbo with the highflow as the A/R is the biggest factor of when it will boost.

did your bro find it laggy with just the stock VG30 turbo?

The vg30 turbo was a stock turbo not a high flow.

It came on round 500rpm later than stock turbo but it was only on the car for about 5 mins and it spat the ceramic wheel at 10psi.

Bit of a bugger but thats life.

Send it to GCG for hi-flowing :P

Works wonders for the VG30's as the rear housing is bigger than R33 turbos :mellow:

Thats my thought anyhow.

It'll be a little come on later, i mean going bigger generally speaking does that.

But the use of cams would offset it a little, and he's be into the 200rwkw range easily

send it to turbo australia, they graft a complete garrett ball bearing core into the stock covers. makes easy power with buggerall lag and you get a brand new core rather than one of those rebuilt cores that gcg sells. costs around $1500 but for what you get its worth it.

im talkin about when you put the discopotatos internals in.

should only be as laggy as the stock vg30 turbo, maybe a bit heavier due to heavier/bigger wheels

Ahhhh Ok Kool.

Sorry Misunderstood u there mate.

Sweet.

I would dare say that would be the path we would go down.

A new core would be the way to go I guess.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
