Hey guys new to the forum and in the market for a 32 gtst. Just inquiring about the potential of the RB20 and what can be done with the car its self. Not looking for all out ball tearing power. I own an Toyota EP82 atm and its borderline go-kart/rag doll.. so i'm going to be setting it up more to the response/handling side of performance.

Is the 32 gtst able keep the power down well to the tyres.. if set up accordingly.. and

What is the limit of the stock turbo & stock cooler, max (safe) psi & hp..

Cheers

Stock turbo is good to about 150-160rwkw on a good tune and good condition rb20. Most people replace the stock cooler with a FMIC or a R34 sidemount, I can't really comment on what power the stocker is good till, you'd probably get heat soak with stock power levels.

You won't be able to do rev limiter launches with RWD but it does grip quite well. Its all about tyres really. Handling is great but really benefits from aftermarket suspension as the stock gear will be quite worn out. With 150rwkw I don't lose traction in first or second in the dry going in a straight line, thats with a blown rear shockies aswell.

get a 32 and put a rb25 in it. then your power potential will rise. you will be looking at close to 200kw on stock turbo with all the usual mods. the only problem is that high rpm launches won't be possible anymore unless you want to fry the tyres.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
