Hey guys im after a turbo upgrade for rb20det..i've looked around the forum and seen alot of people recommending what turbos are good for what...ect anyways what i was after was the most repsonsive turbo on the market for about $300-$600 mark? Im on a very tight budget and the current turbo is not working propley...and a few other things needs to be change on the car?

here is what i've got on my car...

-rb20det stock internals

-3'' catback

-stock injectors

-alternating between stock and pod filter

-stock turbo

Ohh and anyone know a good dyno place around the south eastern suburbs..? and prices of a tune up?

They are just copy tunes off other cars dude with a touchup.

They are "around about" right and for all intents and purposes work well...

Personally i would pay the extra for a full tune specific to each car with the remap.

CEF11E does around about tunes if you want him too or he can do a road tune or even on a dyno (specific mods/tune) if you want to pay for the dyno time

Dr Drift tunes off a dyno and he does REMAPS specific to the cars and mods not a map off someone elses car

CEF11E is cheaper because of the style of tuning

Dr Drift charges a little more due to dyno time

I researched this like 2 - 3 months ago before I bought my PFC

Thanks for the reply guys... I just found out today that my blow off has a leak...so cars been running abit rich...feeling laggy and has no powered grrr so the good news is that i dont need a new turbo as i thought...but will be leaning towards an r33 turbo now neways.

But my question now is how can i make the car more responsive...im not all about power, i just want something that will kick in right away when i step on the accelerator. Lets face the facts how many streets can you go down at full speed? and when u do the boys in the blue and white will probably pick you up and be more than happy to give u a lot of head aches.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
