What im looking for is a turbo that will give my car a bit more bite? Its only a daily driver and just want something thats guna put out a decent amount of power for roughly about 1000 buks that will bolt direct onto standard manifold?

yeh i purchased the car with an rb25 turbo on it. Looking towards something that will put out a bit more KW, looking at around 250 +

I have Aftermarket intercooler, BOV, POD, 3inch Dump and 3inch exhaust. Timing Advanced,

Have Nitros ready to be installed which atm is a 150hp wet system.

Also have an Apexi Fc on order..

do some research buddy - there is a wealth of into in the forced induction section

but remember on top of the cost of the turbo and installation, to factor in a fuel system that will allow you to run 250kw (injectors, pump etc), then clutch/braking also into your budget, and tuning time :P

and with your nos make sure u dont blow the welds on the intake :P

yeh probly will do the turbo install myself.. fuel system is after the ECU. Also the car is running an auto transmission.

Will probly need to beef that up a bit??? no of anywhere in VIC that will streghten it up??

Yes in worried that my floor will fall out with the NOS also :P

I think you'll be struggling to get a turbo for that power level on your budget. You might pick up something 2nd hand if you're lucky. Maybe do a bit of research to find the turbo you need then check out yahoo japan auctions for a good deal? Check out the RB20 turbo upgrade thread sticked at the top of the forced induction page. That will give you some ideas of what you need to make what power.

As for your auto, MV autos in adelaide can provide the bits to make your box handle that power and there should be someone in victoria who could fit them for you.

250rwkw for $1000?

No.

You'll be spending upwards of $1500 at the least. The TD06-20G kit is arguably the "kit of choice", that is manifold, turbo and extrenal gate however.

IMO stock manifold, 250rwkw+ is not going to happen with a budget like that.

Considering...

1. You don't have the ECU to support (why its even running a RB25 turbo without a tune is weird...)

2. You do not have the fuel system to support

3. You do not have the drivetrain to support

I think you are a fair way off 250rwkw+ :P

To the song of around $4000 short, BEFORE you even buy the turbo.

You need to support BEFORE - Not after. Putting a massive turbo on without using it is pointless, get the car ready, then do the turbo. You have the order backwards mate :P

i was actually thinking of upgrading my turbo also.

i dont have many mods just fmic and cat back exhaust i wish to buy a stronger turbo that can handle 11 to 13 psi safely without damaging it

roughly how much would i have to spend ?

RB25 turbo - $400, 180-190rwkw

However - like ALL UPGRADES - you need a ECU/Tune. Simply pointless without it

NS.com types are gradually creeping into SAU.

Fuel pump at the very least buddy.

the only turbo in your price range is a KKR or equivalent and many rb20's with supporting mods only make 210-220kw with alot of boost with these turbos.

Trust is the choice of winners....its a shame about the 6k price tag that comes with it....

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
