Well it looks like a typical ebay ad... has a typical ebay price...

Forget it. The single most important part for the RB20 is the turbo, you need to spend money there, or the RB20 will just lazy.

RB25 turbo for 180-200rwkw.

HKS2530 for upto 230rwkw

Above that you have a lot of choices, but response takes a hit (3071, TD06 etc)

well a the moment i have an r33 s2 turbo on my rb20, my cars pretty much stock apart from turbo, fmic, bov and full 3 in exhaust,

i have a greddy emange ultimate, nismo 555c injectors, splitfire coilpacks, z32 afm to be put on at some stage and what turbo do you guys rekon would work well with this setup, mainly a street car and occasional drag, this car is an auto to with a 3200rpm stall converter,

i also have a nitro system to be hooked up at a later date.

any help would be much appreciated.

Considering NO2 is illegal to even have attached on the street... i don't see the point of taking that into account for a street car.

Fair enough if it was a trailer/racer deal... but IMO it sounds like you want a HKS2530. 230rwkw or so, will pair nicely with a reasonable stall.

Still not "great" but its certainly not terrible!

the n2o would be for race purpose only.

ok well how much is a hks2530 worth and where can i find 1?? and are they a direct fitment or will i need upgraded manifold etc

my aim is for a turbo that will come onto boost no later than 4000ish

Often wondered what the TD05-18G would be like. Its basically an EVO MR turbo so should be rety punchy on an RB20 and make more power then a 2530

240rwkw~1.4bar, more punchy than the TD06, very drivable with a 25, not quite there with the 20, but driving the TD06 and had a mate with the TD05 I can say its a good in between choice.

A lot more stealthy than a big f**k off Trust stainless highmount too! :P

And about 1/3 the price for the kit.

Underrated choice for sure!

Its funny how they advertised that you can get 560HP out of .58 A/R turbine internally gated. Its just not going to happen.

I would believe this is a typical mismatched KKR430 spec turbo falsely advertised to 560HP to rip off low budget consumers. and there is no way it can bolton to your OEM setup.

If your budget allows we are happy to build you some thing to match your desired driving ability and power level using proper Garrett and Mallet components or high flow your current turbo

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
