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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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.

      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
