Hey guys..

Whats a decent turbo to suite rb20 that can provide around 230-240 at the wheels with minimal lag?

I currently have a GT3071r but find its a bit laggy for daily driving.. doesnt come on till 3500rpm.. im looking for something that comes on around 3000 if not earlier and still pulls through the whole gear range..

anyone got an suggestions or ideas? and if you have one has something they wana get rid of.. let me no. I'm also interested in swapping mine for something a bit smaller.. suites rb20/25 manifold direct bolt on.

also.. is there even much difference between HKS and garrett? or just a massive price difference!! lol..

cheers

Paul i have a standard R33 turbo and willing to do a swap plus $$ your way for that GT3071R mate....you could try the R33 turbo and see if that makes a difference....mine on 12 psi made 211 on a RB25 though....i have heard of my mates r32 making 190-200 with a few supporting mods and a R33 or R34 turbo....and apparently its very responsive

Im currenttly building my own turbocharger, should be the sort of thing you'd be after.

ie a garrett GT2871R instead of your gt3071r

Ive got a garrett gt2871r chra core, pulled it down and she's cactus.

purchased a new centre ball bearing cartridge, purchasing a garrett exhaust turbine shaft with 60-1 front compressor wheel and full rebuild kit

using my hiflowed and ported rb25 compressor and exhaust housings

all up $500 cost plus a rebalance fee at ATS or MTQ, less sale of current highflow chra

;) ba boom ! now theres how to save a grand on a turbo :(

mate i got a 25/30 making 17psi at 4300 and that is one of the more responsive turbos u can get for a 20 that makes awesome power

u gotta go for a 25 if ya want power

if not go high mount external and u'll get full boost at 4000 give or take

+1 2530!

There is a whole SAU forum dedicated to this sort of question with hundreds of different answer and opinions. Did you even do a search for "RB20 turbo" or something similar?

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
