Turbo Choice..

[mozza]

Hey guys.

I've gotta R31 Passage, redtop Nics... Boring as batcrap really..

Anyway, it's gotta VG30 turbo, which I think is starting to play up. It's blowing smoke and only running (a huge!) 4psi, so I'm looking at changing it..

My question is - Is an RB26 turbo any bigger (ability to produce more power) over the VG30 turbo? Sorry, I've had a look around but can't find anything that says anything definitive.

I'm aiming for probably a 160-170rwkw, will the VG be able to produce that comfortably, on a daily basis?? If not, and an RB26 turbo is a better option, what's required in making it bolt onto the side of the NICS?

Any other suggestions?

Obviously once it all gets sorted, I'll get it tuned, as I've gotta SAFC ready to go in at the moment anyway.

Cheers,

Glenn

RB26 turbo's are around the size of a T25 so no they aren't a good power upgrade, but an RB25 turbo is similar to a VG turbo so go for that.

go rb25 turbo, will make the power your after and be slightly more responsive than the vg30

on a redtop you'll need the 25 oil and water lines to go with it

RB26 turbo's do not bolt on anyway. different flange etc

Ah cheers mate.

I can see why you prefer SAU to R31SC.... So much more maturity around here
