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?

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
