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.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
