we used a rb25 turbo on an rb20 and it was making 271rwhp on 17psi

so there is nothing wrong with using a 25 turbo iether just personal preferance and budget..

Rb20

VG30

FMIC

Fuel Pump

Exhaust

198rwkw @ 15psi

Did 1 run on 17psi and was going past 208rwkw when it ran out of fuel and was backed off, probably didnt have much more than 210rwkw.

Hey bro

Yep i am going to be getting it tuned in perth.. i just got a yellow sticker so just been busy trying to get that off.. but after that the plan is to buy some r32 gtr injectors, and then give it to all star garage and get them to install a nistune chip and then get them to tune it.

Thanks niran

Ballbearing vg30 t3 turbo

Hey man

I think it goes by the versions.. There was another thread where i asked the same question as you did and its somewhere on skyaus most likely on forced induction.. Besides that if you already have the turbo you could go to a jap shop and ask them too

i recently got a vg30 turbo to bolt onto my rb20, i have a few questions though, how do i find out if its ceramic or steele? it sais 45v2 on it.

Also, im putting the rb20 actuator on the vg30 turbs, will it hold 15psi or will i need an external wastegate?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
