G'day,

I just bought a vl with an rb20det in it, the bloke i bought it off put a hi-flowed rb25 turbo on it. I was just wondering if someone could tell me the differences between these two turbos? Is there any size difference? Also, i want to get an aftermarket computer for it, what is the best computer for this motor? Are there any avaliable that plug straight in?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Pat.

hi patrick

you can do a search on the word hi-flow or "highflow" to learn about them and the changes they make to them to get more flow out of them.

the main differnces between the rb20 and rb25 hiflow would be larger housing and compressor wheels (and housing) and new bearings/core.

the unit would flow more air and give more power etc etc. a lot of guys use the std rb25 turbo on the rb20, so using a hiflowed rb25 turbo on the rb20 is even better

there are quiet a few ECU options for the rb20 but not many plug and play options, the main true plug and play unit is the apexi powerfc

it will be around $1800 for you with a hand controller as the unit isnt made anymore. its a direct plug and play , first key start unit however and lots of tuners can tune it

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
