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

    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
