I heard from a few different guys planning to do with Hi flowed VG30. They sounded it'z not a hard job, but good value for money.

But still learning for the detail myself... not much can help.

Sorry for hijacking.. but wondering is R34 turbo same as R33?! (sorry, new guy to skyline)

To the OP - At the end of the day it comes down to wheel choice, combo, how much porting and so on.

The question is so open ended no-one can answer unless you at least post the FULL specs of the turbos.

As for ‘how long will it last’ - That’s like asking how long is a piece of string, no answer to that :down:

The .63 rear ended VG30's turbo can be high flowed to produce upto 300rwkws with supporting mods. RB25 R33 turbo's only capable of 230rwkws.

R33 RB25 turbos can make 250-260rwkw in a hi-flow form no problems. Have done so many many times before.

RB25 Dyno Sticky thread gives many examples, so 30rwkw more capable without a problem.

Are the turbo components interchanable between VG30, RB20 and 25. i.e. can you put the VG30 compressor wheel and housing onto RB20 core and with RB20 exhaust bits(or vice-versa) and bolt that to an R33 to get a heap of boost with minimal lag? I read Sydney kid put a RB20 exhaust parts on his Steaga to get the bottom end torque for towing he was after.

My GCG R33 high flow makes 242rwkw easily, tuner said it would have done 255 but i do a fair few track days so he didnt want to boost it too hard. Treated properly it should last a long time, like any good turbo should.

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
