use your standard RB20 actuator and you should get approx 10psi. This is all I would personally run if I valued my turbo.

o so run less than a rb20 turbo? i have my setting now ( ..low 10psi and hi 14psi) i thought having the bigger turbo on a car that wont push it as hard could run a lil bit more than they do on the r33s???? i no they are still ceramic internals.

I would not run 14psi.

Do a search on ceramic+stock turbo.

ive heard this before but I cant remember the logic used to get to this reasoning. Something regarding that the rb20 with 14psi it doesnt create the same load as a rb25 running 14psi due to the size difference and hence the rb25 turbo can push more on a rb20.

Someone smart should be able to confirm/deny this. Cbf working it out

It has to do with shaft speed. The bigger turbo flows more air. Boost is only a biproduct of the restriction present in your engine. Considering the restriction doesn't change, the larger turbo has a slower shaft speed to generate the same airflow that the previous turbo did, therefore, there is less load on the bigger turbo

rb20s generally flow less than rb25s. so at the same boost the rb25 is flowing more air and therefore the turbo is spinning faster. 12psi is considered fine on a 25, 14-15psi would be about the same on a 20

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
