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

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
