i want to upgrade from my stock turbo, and my budget wont alow me to go all out at this point in time, so im thinking of hiflowing the stock rb20 turbo. i was thinking of throwing on a 33 turbo, but i think a hi flow 32 turbo would be more fun. anyone running a hiflow 32 turbo with any advice/ dyno graphs? cheers adam

hiflowing will set you back $1500~?

You can pick up a HKS2530 turbo for that price which will make 230kw atw w/ supporting mods.

The hiflow rb20 turbo would probably just hit 200kw atw i reckon

doesnt hypergear do rb20 hi flows for around $800?

would there be much difference in power/ response between hiflow 32 and stock s2 33 turb?

ah $800 ey not bad. Although a rb25 turbo sells for around $200~

for $800 you can import a hks2530 from japan

When i was looking back at getting a hiflow rb20 (at one point I had one but didnt fit on car) I was told it could make 210kw atw, whereas a rb25 turbo on a rb20 would make around 180-190kw but I couldnt find any evidence to back up the rb20 hiflow results.

I guess ask hypergear themselves how much power it can make and if its larger than a rb25 or is it smaller?

Let us know what you decide on.

$800 is bush bearing, not ball bearing.

Ball would be around $1500.

RB20's benefit the most from decent turbos - So if you are really dead set... spend as much there as possible, get a HKS2530 if you want the best suited

thats what im trying to find out. there is plenty of dyno results on the rb20 upgrade sticky about rb25 turb, but almost nothing on rb20 hiflow. i know it will be a few hundred $$ cheaper to get a 33 turb, but it will be a second hand turbo, quite possibly ready to f**k out on me. im not really after any specific number of rwkw, just a nice basic upgrade. i would imagine tho that 180-190 would be a realistic target, but a good tune is more important to me. i will let you know rekin. cheers adam

are 2530's BB? what hp are they rated to? are they a direct bolt-on to rb20 manifold? thanks nismoid

220-240 rwkw seems to be about the ball park for one, depends on supporting mods tho. Will bolt on to the RB manifold so long its a T3 flanged one.

personally i'd go a HKS GTRS over a 2530 but they are a little more exxy again

gtrs would be great, but the car is 17 years old. i dont want a track beast, i dont want some wank-off dyno number, ive spent the money on supporting mods, now i want a very basic turb upgrade.

The hks2530 is ball bearing, not sure on power rating. Will direct bolt on manifold, dump pipe another story...

HKS2530 came out in 2 models. Series 1 and Series 2.

Series 1;

- Has a unique flange and needs the matching HKS cast dump pipe to be able to fit onto car

- Has more fins on wheel

- No split between wheel/wasteage

Series 2;

- Has a T3 flange which direct bolts to rb20 dump pipe

- Has 9 fins on wheel which has been redesigned to be more responsive

- Has a split between wheel and wastegate as opposed to the series 1 hks2530

how much does the 2530 go for brand new, compared to the GTRS.

is the GTRS also a direct bolt on like the 2530?

thanks.

    • 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.
