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.

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
