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!

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

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
