Thanks alot everyone for all the responses. Have done abit more research and thanks to the help from you guys i have alot more to base my descion on and i am thinking towards the HKS 2535.

Just wondering... Is there a rule of thumb for injector sizes?

dont know if it is the same with rb20's but with 25's the cc is a rough guide to hp at the wheels, so 550cc should get 550hp at the wheels @ 100% duty, you really only want to see 80% duty tho so realistically 550cc should be good for a safe 440hp atw, the 300 your looking for you should go 350-400, i would suggest 450-500 tho as the power bug will bite you and they give you a bit of room to play with.

I believe gtr injectors are 440cc and with a balast resistor are a straight bolt in for rb20's, add an adjustable fuel pressure reg and they should be good for near on 500cc and should be cheap, depending on the price of the balast resistor.

A while back someone here , Lithium ? , made up a Hi Flow using a Garrett GT2871R (48 comp trim) cartridge in re profiled I think RB25 turbos housings . I think his was in an R33 GTS25T and from memory he said it was very smooth power wise with a bit more everywhere .

Something like this should be more than capable of making 300 hp on an RB20DET and it uses housings intended for an RB engine .

That was my setup.

Yes, it did everything I asked of it. 300rwhp @ 12psi and extremely tractable/streetable/responsive at low-middling engine rpm. The spec might have sounded a bit small, but the car covered ground pretty quickly without needing heaps of gear changes.

One issue I saw was boost falling at higher rpm, and power flattening at 6000rpm. I believe the RB25 turbine housing may have been the culprit, and considered swapping in a larger OP6 housing profiled for that cartridge.

Eventually it was bought by a guy who fitted it to an RB20, with pretty punchy results by all accounts.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
