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 !

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.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
