a 3076 will bolt up to a standard manifold, but you may need some oil fittings.

as for the ecu, any aftermarket ecu will do the trick. you are best of asking the person who is going to tune it what they prefer. by using what they know the best you will get the best tune from them. if u get something they aren't familiar with you won't get as good of a result.

and i think a 3076 might be a bit big for a rb20 unless you are chasing big power. it will partly depend on what housing size you get.

but i don't know that much about what turbo is suitable for rb20's.

It does fit on the standard manifold...but by about 2mm you are best off getting a spacer made up to give the compressor a bit more clearence, apart from that you may need new oil and water lines and the intake will need to be jigged slightly

actually the spacer you need is about an inch thick. i installed a 3076 on a mates 33. and you will need a new intake pipe as the compressor housing needs a 4" intake , and you need to make a few mods to the 'hot' cooler pipe.

a good bolt up replacement is a highflowed r33 turbo from gcg. they are a 100% factory fit, but as your turbo isn't standard some of the oil and water lines may have been altered, but a trip to a local hose place should sort you out.

ya an inch thick is what mine was too! i was saying it did 'fit' straight on to my manifold by 2mm but it was deemed more clearence would be wise ha ha

Im gonna be unoriginal and say that a GTRS or garret equivalent would be good on a RB20, cause the 3076 on my car felt a little laggy and that was with a 25

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
