Im in the process of fitting 2 stock RB20 turbos to my r32 RB20DET. I know once its all completed i should get it dynoed. Anyway what im asking is for those ppl who have put bigger turbos on RB20's, wat have they had to upgrade first? ie what comes first. Fuel Pump, Injectors, AFM?? Also what type of bhp can they handle? Thanks for ya help

Thinking budget... then AFM can be tuned around if you exceed its voltage range, injectors can be given a new lease if life with a bigger fuel pump and adjustable fuel regulator.

So fuel pump and regulator should be high up on the list, along with the ECU.

Then from there suck it and see whether your intercooler/exhaust/clutch/fuelling/susp etc etc are all doing what you need of them.

As for how much power??????????? Depends on a lot of things, tuning/age-kms etc etc. One thing to remember though is the Gibson Motorsport R31s with their RB20s used factory crank/rods/plenum so the basis is there for a sound engine.

And dont listen to all those RB25 owners, they have no imagination.

Good luck, and remember lag isnt your enemy, sometimes great things come to those that wait.:P:D

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
