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.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
