Gtr Turbo Upgrade For A Rb20det

[Crans]

I rang an importer today asking if they had any R25 turbos in stock.

They advised me they didnt have any in stock and that this is a worthless upgrade on an RB20.

They did however have some GTR turbos in stock for $600 each and said these would bolt on no problems and would be a great upgrade for the 2L.

I want alittle extra power but I dont want to spend too much as im planning on an engine swap next year.

What turbo upgrade is the best to do and under $600 for the turbo?

Unless it were a GT2510 or GT2530 turbo no.

Definitely not an upgrade but rather a downgrade to the stock rb20det turbo.

[Crans]

bloody bastards were probably trying to off load a $600 turbo on me that no one else wanted

How bout hooking up another rb20 turbo to the waste gate of the one on there

mate im afraid for $600 your not gona get much for a highquality new turbo, 2nd hand however for that price id be looking for a r34gtt turbo, direct bolt on in regards to everything such as dump pipe, oil + water lines. with supporting mods should see you to around 190-200rwkw, your last post should be deleted lol, try at the top of this section of the forum the rb20 turbo upgrade thread, shows you alot of peoples set up and how much power they made. p.s dont use teh wrecker who tried to sell you a gtr turbo,, knows nothing bout anything and is trying to rip you off..

[Kinks]

yep buy from someone else whatever you do.

R33 turbo is a good upgrade on an RB20. More headroom and not much more lag.

[Crans]

it wasnt a wrecker it was a well know nissan performance shop.

I didnt think whats they said was right. They said a rb25 turbo wouldn't be much of an upgrade as its pritty much the same turbo as the rb20 turbo.

Don't really trust what they say now. What turbo would you reccomend for a rb20? im looking for aslittle lag as possable that will also work well with an rb25 budget around $1000

want to make around 200rwkw. THen in about a years time will be either building a stroked rb20 or sapping in an rb25

[R31Nismoid]

RB25 turbo is what you want. Peak will be around 180rwkw, but for $400, whos gonna complain about the extra 15-20rwkw.

Just get a happy dyno

You're such a whore

[MANWHORE]

Hahaha, alright, i'll type sometghing quickly

The gtr turbos are smaller than the gtst turbos. Nor are they direct bolt on.

The best turbo for your car under 600, unless if you snap up some ultra super mega bargain would be an rb25 turbo. around $400 for a good one. Flows about 25% more than stock turbo at the same boost.

Anything bigger and you need to start looking at injectors, afm, ecu, clutch, suspensions, wheels, tyres etc

[Crans]

I did use the search and have been reading up on what other people did for the last week. THen this shop just confuses the issue.

If I had a budget of $1000 what would be the best to get?

[Birnie]

Elcheapo - Go the RB25 as a few have stated.

or start searching for a HKS 2530 - They should be in the cheap side but extra cash needed for the water/oil lines etc....

But they will bolt straight on to the T3 flange and exhaust front pipe.

Slidewize can bid for you on the Jap Auctions if that's what you want

[Cubes]

If you can't track down a little HKS2530 grab a slide highflow. Run around with it like that for a while until you save the $$ to throw on a nismo FPR and ecu remap.
