VG30/High Flow Turbo Upgrade - what other upgrades required ?? fuel system etc


Recommended Posts

I am in the final stages of deciding whether to fit the VG30 or highflow the turbo on my RB20.

My question is what else needs to be done to make sure the set-up is reliable for a daily driver.

I intend on running 14psi on VG30 or 16psi on a high-flow.

I already have turbo back exhaust, Veilside chip, filter, front mount, BOV and electronic boost controller.

I plan on running and oil catch can.

I believe the injectors will handle it so my question revolves around the fuel pump.

Will i need to upgrade the fuel pump ?? What will fit ??

Will a GTR fuel pump (R32-R34) fit and will this be sufficient ??

Will i need to upgrade the surge tank as well ??

Would i need to run a Rising Fuel Regulator ??

Anything else i have missed ??

I've had a VG30BB turbo and you do loose a lot of response for the amount of power you 'don't get. It is a slight upgrade on the RB20DET Turbo but it is laggy.

I would go the highflow over the VG30.. You won't be that happy with it. I wasn't.

The standard RB20DET turbo's highflowed.. I havn't seen any go over 210rwkw. Generally they hover just under 200rwkw.

Generally still around the 4k full boost highflowed. Thats the only problem with the RB20DET. Lag.

    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.   
    • Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.
