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.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
