Hi looking to get more power from my 20det.

I know that its proberly been cover befor.

Anyways my car atm is running

3" mandral from turbo back

Hybrid fmic

Stock ECU (have a mines ecu in garage for it)

Stock fuel pump (getting upgraded to to walbro in tank unit)

Stock turbo

I only looking to make around the 180-200kw atw. As its my family car.

What would be a good resonable turbo upgrade? Have around 600 to spend on turbo

i was thinking a series 2 25 turbo??

some sort of t3/4 hybrid

Was also thinking of a high mount set up??

Any help would be great.

No point going high mount, use your standard manifold with a S2 RB25 turbo + elbow. You can retain all your current lines, dump/exhaust and intercooler piping etc as its straight bolt on

Get the fuel pump in and get the ECU remaped

You should see 180rwkw + but that won't get you to 200rwkw

Its been done a million times

If I was going for a responsive 200rwkw I would go with a HKS2510 or maybe even a HKS2530, even an RB25 high flow but not too huge - all those will blow your budget of $600

for $600 an rb25 turbo is within your budget and power levels

its a close fit, and requires very little work to make it fit and work

good response and more average power, dont bother with an ebay t3/t4

they're junk, laggy, old school technology and require extra work to make it fit

should i also look at injector upgrade to like gtr ones??

Nahh no need.. i did the same thing with the RB25 turbo.. You'll just need a fuel pump lke a Bosch 040 or 044 then put in the ECU and its 180-190KW

My setup is almost complete just need to get the exhaust fitted and get the re-map done from CEF11E

hows the engine running with the rb25 turbo untuned?

it depends on the boost your running. stock rb25 boost and it'll be fine, but wont feel any different to the stock 32 turbo. when i put one on my 32 i wound it up to 13psi and found it was slightly leaning out top end.

    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
    • Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.  
    • I was just watching these boys up in QLD AWD'ing their S13 too.  
    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
