hey dudes.

im stuck with what turbo to chose on my car.

its an r32 gtst with the following mods:

FMIC

turbotech boost controller

bosch 040 fuel pump

K & N pod

Dr.Drift Remap running 14psi.

my aim is around the 190-200rwkw mark. i currently have 169rwkw with the above-mentioned mods.

im stuck in chosing these turbos:

Straight RB20 Turbo Highflow

Highflowed/Bored Turbine housing to fit larger steel/inconel Turbine wheel and shaft.

Highflowed/Bored Compressor Cover to fit larger alloy Compressor wheel.

This makes the Turbo Hi-Flowed both Compressor side and Turbine side.

The upgrade bolts directly back on the manifold and existing exhaust.

The housings are acid dipped and sandblasted back to new quality.

This is a journal bearing highflow and is capable of making 210-220rwkw and is rated to 18 psi max boost.

1 bar of boost is available from as little as 3000rpm.

Straight RB25 Turbo Highflow

Highflowed/Bored Turbine housing to fit larger steel/inconel Turbine wheel and shaft.

Highflowed/Bored Compressor Cover to fit larger alloy Compressor wheel.

This makes the Turbo Hi-Flowed both Compressor side and Turbine side.

The upgrade bolts directly back on the manifold and existing exhaust.

The housings are acid dipped and sandblasted back to new quality.

This is a journal bearing highflow and is capable of making 220-230rwkw and is rated to 19 psi max boost.

1 bar of boost is available from as little as 3400rpm

i wouldnt mind boost hitting me at 3000rpm, but then again, the rb25 unit would have more mid-range and top end, correct? for driveabilty and whatnot, what would be better suiterd to my needs, and mods?

any comments (good or bad) are welcomed.

thanks guys

There is no difference between rb20 and rb25 hiflow. They get hiflowed to the same specifications. You can make boost come on earier, it all depends on intake setup, exhaust setup and state of the tune.

There is actually a difference.

The compressor cover limits the size of the wheel that can be used in the R32 turbo.

The RB25 turbo and VG30 turbo have larger compressor covers thus larger wheels can be used that flow more air creating more power.

The R32 and R33 turbine housings are also different in size but do not affect power as much as the compressor cover size difference does as for an example a stage 1 and 2 wheel can be used in all 3 turbine housings- R32, R33, VG30 :O

Paul is talking about the GCG highflow and is correct the internals are bored out to roughly the same size and rated at the same HP.

But everyone does there highflows different hence slides answer

where are you getting the highflow done?

cheers

you want to hit boost at 3 grand but are fitting a larger turbo?

those two don't match up and you'll likely add more lag.

specially choosing a gt3040r, don't expect much before 4500 ish

I had one on my r33 with the smaller exhaust housing to bolt on to standard manifold making full boost by 4000 to 4500 on 18 psi

im leaning towards the rb20 hi-flow unit.

but will it run out of puff? spose it doesnt matter, coz im not gonna drag it in the near future.

sure the rb25 unit is more laggier, but it will obviously last longer.

i just want something with some get up and go,

i dont really want more than 200rwkw atm either.

so probably the rb20 unit.

Yes I agree with Slide . I think he is telling you that the RB25 and VG30 versions use a larger diameter compressor wheel with a matching larger compressor cover . These would accept 70-71mm compressor wheels more easily than the covers on the smaller RB20 type compressors . This makes the RB25's turbo (housings really) a bit more flexible with compressor options . So in other words unless you want to stick with 60mm diametre compressor wheels ie dinosaur T3 wheels or a GT28BB cartridge the RB25 is the go .

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
