R33 Turbo In An R32

[r32line]

As the title says, has anyone done it or know of it being done? what mods did you do with it? Will it run without putting too much strain on the rest of the engine?

Cheers

It's pretty common.

Sliding performance sells hiflow rb25 turbo's for the R32.

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?

Also, are standard injectors and standard fuel pump up to the job?

Injectors and fuelpump can handle to about 200kw i think, best to get second opinion

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

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.

do you have a turbo back exhaust? more airflow = faster spool

ive got one on my r32 its pretty easy to do the change over just make sure you get the r33 elbow with the new turbo. i run mine a 1 bar and have no pinging or anything that i know of... hauls arse on 1 bar.
