i have a 3540 with the smallest exhaust housing on a 25det and a stretched rev limiter to 7,500 and it wakes up late 3,000's but pulls very very hard to the limiter.

so on a rb20 it will be alot of more laggy

i would go a 3071R or a 3076R .63 for rb20

Yeh, no doubt woudl be laggy. But if ppl put them on big power SR20s then i see no reason why not an RB20. Only you would want it to be a dyno car or a drag car, not a daily streeter.

If you are running 81mm pistons for a bump in displacement, with around 9.0:1 compression. Dont go too big on cam duration, say 256 and 8.8mm lift. Stick with std inlet manifold and make sure the 3540 is running a nice exhaust manifold and is well tuned with cam gears used to dial it all in.

I see no reason why the thing wont be on song in the mid 5,000rpm range. Wil be able to rev the thing to 8,800rpm and make a good wack of power, around 320-340rwkws (depending on the turbo spec)

Worst case throw a shorter diff ratio in the thing.

Whether it makes sense to do all this to an RB20 instead of a bigger brother its hard to know and not for us to say. But if you want a more streetable setup with i would think a 3076 woudl definitely give you a better compromise of power nad drivability.

Have you looked at the Turbonetics or ITS range ?

yeah i was assuming that it would be more laggy because of a smaller displacement engine with more pistons, so a shorter stroke? but sr20s are the same displacement with less pistons so bigger bore x stroke?

if its a streeter no way i would put that on a sr20 without MASSIVE cams and a 9,000rpm limiter, just too big of a turbo for down low power.

pffff dont listen to the RB20 haters. im putting a GT3040 on my RB20, will be slightly less laggy.

if you want response obviously its far to big, but with a full build it will be alot of fun.

two words.

do it......

there was a r32 in a recent zoom issue with a built rb20/gt3540

specs below, that motor has since expired but meh.....

To cut the list short -

Forged internals

Standard cams

Tomei cam gears (in anticipation for cams.....)

GT3540 turbo (high mount)

Turbosmart 38mm ext. wastegate (with screamer, love that sound!!)

110mm thick front mount

3 inch dump into 4 inch exhaust

Nismo 555cc injectors

Bosch 500hp fuel pump

Link ECU (upgrading to Microtech LT-12 this week)

Turbosmart E-Boost2

Alloy triple-flow radiator

Car made 293rwkw/393rwhp @ 21psi (more to come). Would post up the dyno sheet but I don't have a scanner!

^^ RB20 power thread is the best place to look. theres another two GT30 series powered RB20's on the page after the above one.

same here. i have a .82 rear housing. and boost comes on at about 3200-3500.. a greddy plenum helps.

if u are after PEAK power go for it mate. but it will only last for 2000rpm..

if your after response AND decent power go a 3071R

yeah mine comes on at around that aswell.. last time i drove it i stopped looking at the tacho and concerntrated on keeping it straight it shot up very fast fron around the 3000's thats full boost, not starting, but already at 18psi

respect to the almighty gt3540....

if u want a kick in the pants and would be happy with a constant whiplash injury go the 3540... but as i said before on a rb20....it will only last for 3sec :)

it just wouldnt do it, u or the car any justice

Yes but if you read the article closely it doesnt even start to see positive pressure untill 4600rpm

Buy that time even old dak daks will have hosed you off the road.

think of it this way......nothing nothing nothing......boost...wheel spin....rev limit, change gear and repeat....

GT3076 at the most for a street car.

But its your car so do what u like. :blink:

boo to the RB20 haters.

with the right cams you can dial in more than respectable response for the loyal old beast.

remember people that youre comparing other motors to the RB20, which is kinda dumb considering there in a completely different league.

i say go for it mate. then if you dont like it change the turbo.

in my opinion i couldnt care less if a dodgy old non turb r33 beat me, cause i know id be having a hell of a lot more fun. isnt that what modifying your car is all about.

that last comment always annoys me :blink:

my 2c.

meh you could do that with a TD06 and far less lag.... 293rwkw is nothing special...

your a bloody idiot esky mad.

such noobieness.

just go a 3071R or a 3076R .63 for rb20

ONLY if u like driving around on vacuum would u ever go a 3540

i agree with uras on this one, the td06 is underated. on a built engine with boost above 20 psi you will crack 300 rwkws and have so much better response than the 3540. some one has to say it lol, look at roys he uses a td06 on a 20 and that thing is wicked, not even a built engine and manages 260 or so, i know which one is the better choice. but hey up to you

yup... even the baby 06 the L2 makes 265-275rwkw at 1.2bar with std eng and 256/264's and will have upto 50-70rwkw more throughout the mid. At 1.5bar with plenum and 272's it would match that 290-300rwkw and still have much more mid.... or simply get the SH 06. the 3071R is also a good option but they are soft to drive and are no match for an 06.

Im my experience there are only two choices for rb20:

td06

and HKS GT2835 0.61 52t which is the small inlet version.

I think I can speak here as I have a little experance with this , I currently run a gt3040R on an rb20 a built engine and I spent thousands getting it to flow its great as it boosts pretty early and is fairly powerful car ran an 11.7 at wsid ,while this is great for a track car its not for a streeter as when it comes on boost its wheel speen city even with perrilli P zero's and on low boost ,low boost it makes 240rwkw but the way it comes on is a rush of power from 3900rpm to 5100rpm it goes from about 80rwkw to 288rwkw so in 1200rpm it makes 208rwkw thats a lot of power for the rear wheels to hold

I would tend to agree with Roy and URAS ,from graphs I've seen the tdo6 has a lot more linial power delivery to the garrett turbos as they come on in a rush and the gt3540 would be worse than mine .

I dont drive my car on the street anymore as for one its just too wild and two with the new hoon laws with that sorta power delivery with out r spec tyres there aint gonna be any traction and in front of a cop bye bye car so my engine is coming out the car is going back to stock to be sold of and I've now got a gtr so got better chance of keeping the power to the ground . This is just my opinion but hope it helps

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
