do a search this has been covered many times. not many mods need to be done as they both obviously use the T3 flange, main differences are the snorkel/elbow whatever u want to call it which comes off the comp. housing (few options there) and the actuator, RB20 actuator will hold more boost stock (without a controller). pretty straight forward but try and get all the lines etc just incase something doesnt line up.

I put an RB25 turbo on my RB20 about 2 weeks ago. Haven't got an ecu/tune yet so only running 12psi but it goes MUCH harder than the RB20 turbo.. just takes an extra 800-1000rpm to come on boost :) Oh and it will also hold the boost till redline, had it at 14psi but it was pinging over 6000rpm so dropped it back to 12psi (to give me a bit of leeway on cold nights) until I get a tune.

So its even more laggy??

Mine comes on boost at 3,000rpm, so ur saying it wouldnt come on till 4,000rpm now?

My Rb20 turbo used to start spooling a little over 2000rpm with full boost by probably 3000rpm, now it starts spooling around 3000rpm with full boost by about 4000rpm. My standard injectors and fuel pump are going fine, got an 044 to go in probably this weekend though. Then save for an ecu :thumbsup:

Edited by bubba

completely depends on ur tune as to how the turbo will react, u really need to get it tuned. im in the same boat, put mine on and have been too lazy to get it remapped, so lag is pretty brutal and im only running 8psi, but it still goes hard considering. main thing ull notice is up high where the RB25 turbo keeps on truckin where the rb20 fades off.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
