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.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
