I have pics of an R34 and VG30DET turbo.

I have an rb20det turbo here also but will take pictures later.

The VG30DET and RB25 turbo's run a larger comp cover, the comp cover reads 45V something. The Rb20 turbo's read 16V.

Apart from this 45V on the comp cover there's really no way you can tell if you have a R33 or R32 turbo on your car, that is unless you know your turbo's and have had them in your hands plenty of times prior. :)

To myself.. The RB20DET turbo is rather obvious, the comp cover looks skinny. ;)

cheers cubes for pics..mine has 16 lol stressin althou the wird thing is i have just done 50,ooo klms on 17psi with out missing a beat..and without pulling my parts many of times i have rune 22 with lots of detonati0on but just to show it will lol and still no exhaust wheel out my zorst..perhaps its been steal bladed..coming of in 2 weeks for new manifold so i will chek then..

thanks again

The stock rb20det turbo's are fairly tough.

I ran mine on 15psi for around 90,000km's then bumped it up to 16psi for the other 30,000km's.

The turbo's now off and still feels and looks perfect, in fact it was in better knick than the vg30det turbo and the r34 turbo in the pics.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
