Hey guys.

Ok I'm aware of the HKS GT2530, 35 and 40 turbo's are a direct bolt on to the stock manifold, they also bolt to the turbo extension (stock or aftermarket) and even allow you to use the stock oil/coolant feed and return lines.

I was wondering what other choices are available that bolt up AND can use the stock lines/fittings? I am looking for around 350 - 400rwhp when everything is all said and done. No worries as I'm aware of whats needed, modifications wise, to get there but it's only turbo selection that I am not familiar with other then the HKS units I mentioned above.

Mainly my car is going to be used for daily driving/drifting so quick spool is prefered but at the same time, I don't want it to crap out at 5000rpm's. Periodically I may do the odd drag/track day too so "hopefully" the turbo will be ok for that too. Any pic's or links would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Cheers :rofl:

300rwkw (400rwhp) and quick spool are something that you cant put into the same sentence as RB20 im afraid

If you set your goal to 350rwhp as a MAX... then maybe some of the Apexi/IHI/KKK/Trust turbos can come into play?

Not sure if they are bolt on however.

Personally i dont see why you cant use a HKS, or the Garrett equivalent.

Tried and proven generally is a good way to go. If there was something better on the market, people would be using it :P

Oh by no means do I expect the turbo to be making full boost at 3000rpm's or something like that. I just don't want to have it fully come on by mid 5000rpm's ish.

I also have not ruled out using the HKS GT2535 as an upgrade, I was just curious what other choices I have that bolt up and use the stock lines. further what turbo may be pretty much ideal for what my plans are.

why limit your choices because of possibly $200 max worth of water and oil lines???

choose the turbo that meets your requirements and do what is needed, otherwise you'll be unhappy with it.

plenty of the garret/hks turbos will fit, and adpater plates are available to allow you to keep the std manifold..

I think you guys missunderstand what I'm asking.

Really I am not limiting myself at all, I was just curious if there's other options out there besides the HKS ones I mentioned. Having them just bolt right up and using stock lines/fittings is a bonus and does save hassle and extra money needing to be spent.

The HKS GT2535 should do what I want and be realible however, is there other brands out there that do the same and bolt up the same is what I was cursious about.

HKS turbo's I hope you know are EXTREAMLY expensive..$3000 plus. And also must be run more boost (HOTTER) to run the same amount of power output as say.. Garrett. PLus Garrett are HALF the price on avg.

The GT-RS in my perspective is the best choice for RB20. Good for daily,drifting and drag.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
