RB20 red to silver top turbo difference

[S13 Silvia]

What differences are there between the red top and silver top RB20 stock turbos?

Are they both ceramic turbine?

Did the red top come stock without a BOV?

[SteveL]

Main difference is that R32 type (silver) uses a ball-bearing turbo, but all red-top are plain bearing. As far as I know they all use ceramic turbine wheel. Red tops did not have a factory BOV.

A turbo engine without a BOV? :confused:

whut abt SR20s? the red-tops and black tops?

[MrMayhem]

from teh depths of memory

HR31 theres two types of terbs

Nics a 33mm inducered plain bearing ceramic shitter

eccs 43mm inducered plain bearing ceramic

Silver theres two types also

R32 43mm inducered ball bearing ceramic

laurel/cefiro 43mm inducered plain bearing

u know how the S13 comes with the redtop but the 180sx Type X comes with the black top? which is better? heard the redtop is faster?

[Squizz]

The later model Black Top is the S14 motor with variable timing...

[MrMayhem]

no bb for ceffy no love they inherited alot of left overs from the HR31 also afm ignighter tps etc

[Squizz]

Don't suppose you have a definitive list of the differences between the R32 RB20 and the Ceffy RB20. I assumed (first mistake I suppose) that they were the same... So even an R32 Turbo would be considered an upgrade?

[MrMayhem]

the bb would be a time consuming not real rewarding upgrade

so far

- cas (eccs hr31)

- ignightor (hr31)

- tps (hr31)

- afm (eccs hr31)

- terbs (same as teh 32 bar no balls)

-(rumour is the mapping in teh ecu is different but i cant say for sure)

Sometimes Ceffys have 32 conversions though throwing all teh formentioned into meaninglessness...ness.

Your Ceffy appears to be a fine bit-o-gear

Hmm so a feminine version perhaps?

And thanks, Ceffy is starting to come together just needs a bit more stonk...
