VG30 compressor 48mm and matching housing $60

RB25Compressor (from my car) 49mm top 62mm major slightly higher flow than the VG30 and different trim. $45

Install on your existing turbo for a lag free power gain

just need a balance-$35

hi matt,

i have a rb20 and i have been thinking of this for a while.. so do you only replace the compressor wheel. do you need the stock housing machined. lets say that i gor the rb25 comp wheel what power increase do you think and would this be the same power as if i were to just buy a full rb25 turbo.

thanks

If you bought the rb25 compressor you would have to machine your housing($50) The VG30 comp and housing would totally bolt on but make 10kw or so less. You will pick up between 20kw - 50kw depending on your tuning, mods and boost. I have made 225rwkw with the RB25 compressor. Depending on the A/R exhaust housing difference between your current turbo and an RB25 turbo you could estimate lag and power differences.

Any of these wheels will make give you a large power increase.

oh im interested now . so the compressor wheels that you are selling are steel?? i know you said $50 for michining but how much for installing and fitting.?? and what would be the best one of yours for sale for the most and easiest to install on my car..

thanks much

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
