Hi guys just after a little advice, in the next few weeks im putting my vl in the shop to have intercooler piping made, and at the same time i am going to get them to put in my ebay manifold and dump pipe, which still allows turbo to sit in factory position and re use all existing oil and water lines etc.

What id like to know is my options for a turbo upgrade, rest of engine package is pretty stock xcept for front mount and plan to run more than factory boost so i only want a mild upgrade that will still be responsive but have potential for more power.

Im thinking of going series 2 rb25 turbo, will this all bolt up like factory....what do i need to get with it???

I dont want to spend huge amounts of cash on the turbo as i dont plan on chasing massive power with this engine, so is there a decent ebay upgrade turbo or perhaps a sponsor has an upgrade turbo that will bolt to all factory positions, id like to spend around $600 tops on an upgrade aftermarket turbo, i know ill get a 33 turbs for $300 so just after some advice.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Scotty

Read this thread (which just happens to be a sticky) :)

"RB25 turbo onto RB20DET - Exactly what is needed"

And read.

Easy as pie, either way without management you wont get very far IMO. Cant afford management - dont do turbo.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
