hey im very keen on ur turbo mine blew on my rb20 on thursday i got a replacemtn for it but turns out the coolant inlet and return fittings on my car are too small for the new turbo are u able to measure the diameter of the banjo bolts that go into the coolant galories on the turbo i can see the bolts on the pic but cant see size. please get back to me need my car on the raod by monday

Bakker - There's a tutorial on changing the rb20 turbo over to the RB25 .

I'm sure it says everything is a straight swap out, ie use the same lines, except the elbow

Don't need the turbo but I'll ask for everyone else sake cause they'll prolly ask...

1) Do you have elbow?

2) Location?

Good luck with the sale :sick:

well ill the secound the fact that they r not a straight bolt on the oil feed is the same size

the coolant banjo bolts from an rb20 slide straight ing an rb25 turbo without even touching the thread

im also chasing the banjo bolts and water line for an rb25 turbo

this guy knows what im on about. im wondering if the turbo that iv got isnt an rb25 turbo and not an rb20 turbo. hmmmm. im gonna try putting a helicoil in and bring the port down 2 mm. the port is 18mm and the banjo bolts i have are 16 mm, it would be good if the banjo fittings were oversized so i could put and 18mm banjo bolt in.

check out the tutorial - osme of the older r ugly poos used 22 m banjos, in that case, you'll hae to source some either later ugly poo lines, or rb25 lines. the later ones are 24 mm

later ugly poos have the right size banjos. I've even seen 89 modesl with the right size bolts - I think only the very early 89 models had the 22 mm

Looking at the turbo, how do you tell from pictures whether it's a series 1 or 2.

I know series 2 had a nylon compressor wheel, ie do we look for a dull compressor wheel whereas the series 1 are shiney? Or did they change the design of the compressor blades making it easier to distinguish?

for 1 the wheel will make a plastic noise when u hit it u can see the difference and feel the difference

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
