lag is subjective...

in my opinion, all turbo's are laggy on an rb20..

in someone else's opinion, a t88 on an rb20 is not laggy..

make up your own mind, but remember the theory.. you are going up more than one turbo size with the vg30 on rb20 so don't expect it to be the same without major modification to other things to make it come on boost earlier...

RB20 with VG30 Roller + FMIC + 3" turbo back exhaust + remap made 196rwkw on my laurel

and as for the nards calling it laggy...BAH

no effing way...make sure you get it remapped by Jeff at The Speed Lab you will have no dramas with lag...

You can do the same with an R33 or R34 turbo but with much more area under the curve and possibly a touch more power.

Peak power isn't everything, the area under the curve is. :P

Post your dyno i'm keen to check it out.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
