i might be able to pick up a high flow RB20 turbo from a mate. it was on his r32 gtst when he bought it, only running standard boost. he took it off to go bigger and he asked if i wanna buy it.

my question is how well will an RB20 high flow turbo perform on an RB25 ? are they too small? will it run out of puff up top?

ive got the usual first stage mods on my r33: full 3" turbo back zorst/hi flow cat (3"), front mount cooler, pod with cai, heavy duty clutch, upgraded coil packs, tuned ecu running 12psi on standard turbo..

the inlet side of his turbo has been machined to fit the larger compresser wheel and the exhaust wheel is steel.

dunno much more about it really, has very minimal shaft play, overall looks in good nick.

will it be enough to get around 210 ish RWKW on my rb25? or am i dreaming

any info would be great, thanks !

Im not sure if you can get the same results but it should give you what you want.

keep in mind, being a RB20 high flow, the exhaust housing is quite small and the turbo will run out off puff towards the red line. Also having a smaller restrictive exhaust housing means you have to relax on the timing a tad.

      Welcome Thomas! Sounds like you've made some progress. Are you able to drive it and enjoy it a bit now ?

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
