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

Jurnal bearing 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?

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
