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.

    • If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
    • Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90°s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.
    • Just a heads up. Mine has just failed. When i turn the car on it just reboots everytime then the word "Android" shows up then goes to a black screen. I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 😭
    • Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future. 
    • Yeah its tuned relatively conservatively being dynoed at 525hp with every bolt on and top end of the motor built wtih HKS vcam and springs etc.
