its not a garret? i thought it was...

its compressor wheel is steel, while its exhaust wheel is ceramic, just like the rb20 turbo. this means that at high boost it can generate too much exhaust heat and the exhaust wheels can delaminate and separate from the shaft. That's why people say generally they have a maximum boost that should be run through them without damaging the turbo...

on an rb25 engine, its good for 11-12psi max

on an rb20 engine, its good for 14-15psi max

its a great little upgrade on the rb20 motor as it provides more high rpm pull without getting too much lag down low

PS welcome to SAU :rolleyes:

thanx guys... clears out what i wanted to know... atleast its better than the stock rb20det turbos... mines running stock boost atm but i got 3 stage evc set to 8/10/12or14(not sure) and everything is fine when i drive it... only problem is a bit laggy... kicks in at about 3500 rpm or so... but fun cause its so loud!!

eh ur turbo kicks in at 3500rpm? my HKS GT2840 is boosting from about 2000rpm why so high?

because if you read the first post yo would see he has the rb25 turbo on a rb20. rb20's don't spool as early as 25's.

and yes they are really ball bearing. it is slide's highflowed ones that aren't. the only difference is the spool up time. once they are up and going they perform just like a ball bearing.

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
