R32 Rb20det

[doony]

looking at keeping standard manifold for street reason and budget and just upgrading the turbo, getting tired and a bit of shaft play. seals seem to be leaking too.

something bit fresher.

don't want a 25turbo.

something good quality but can still take a beating on 8,000rpm

VQ30 turbo?

or something along those lines?

typhoon turbo?

or something else i haven't really thought of

anything else to keep in mind? like

studs?

gaskets? anything you guys recommend

(If its any help) I use a VG30 single turbo on my x-trail, and I love it. boosts well.

might be a tad laggy on a RB20 however.

If you're on a budget try hypergear or an SR20 T28, the S15 bb turbos are the duck's nuts of stock turbos i rekon, wouldn't cost much to get the manifold modified to accept a t2 flange either!

You could always get your existing turbo rebuilt and/or highflowed too!

good luck.

get a rb25 hyper gear highflow!! $1200 roughly and direct fitment

can handle up to 20psi+ and comes on to boost between 1500-2700 depending on your set up!

great up-grade for rb20.

hopefully buying one myself within next few weeks as my standard rb25 turbo will die soon or later with mods im planning on doing ( plush the way i drive sometimes )

LOL why would you put a SR20 turbo on? Its more trouble than its worth...theres so many better options available.

Why dont you want a RB25 turbo? The VG30 turbos are laggy on RB20s.

What power do you want to make? How much money do you want to spend?

BTW a typhoon turbo (if youre talking about a FORD turbo, thats a GT35 haha) too big.

A mildly hi-flowed RB25 turbo would make decent power with good response, if you want to something even better, get a HKS 2530.

That will give you awesome response and 220-230 with the right mods.
