I just bought a freah import red top rb20det after killing my silvertop and i have two turbo's in my shed vg30 and sr1 rb25 both have minimal shaft play and are ready to bolt on, so what should i put on? The motor is pretty much stock apart from the hks pod, hybrid intercooler and 3inch zurst. The future mods will be remap ecu, hks head gasket,arp head bolts and a hks boost controler.

Any help to save me a day's work would be much appreciated :P

Cheers

Dave

RB25 FMFW. :D

The RB25 turbo runs the larger compressor.

The VG30 runs the rb20 compressor but with the larger r34 GTT turbine and usual r33/r34 rb25 compressor housing.

So.... If you can.. Drop the VG30 turbine housing on the RB25 turbo and you have the a R34 GTT turbo which makes the most power out of all.

did the same thing with my car when i suspeceted the turbo blew up, but found out later it wasnt the turbo, but if i was to do it again, and a little less cheaply! i would do the r33gtst turbo, as the vg30 is rather ;larger and laggy as a mofo! getting technical with the 30 housing on the 25 turbs is beyond be , but i would go the r33 gtst for sure if your chasing responsive, or big numbers go the vg30

i just put a vg30 on my r31... i recommend it completely sure the there's a tiny bit of lag(starts to boost at like 3500rpm)... but wen it does boost up its a hell of alot of fun... for normal drive and fuel economy lag is good...

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
