Comp housings definitely are different sizes. Didn't pick any easily measurable difference on the turbine side for either housing or rotor between RB20 and 25.

Also RB20 comp impeller is smaller inducer + exducer. Just a smaller unit, flows less. Later series 2 RB25 also went to a nylon/composite impeller. Lighter weight.

Turbine housing is SLIGHTLY larger a/r for the RB25 turbo, runs the exact same wheel. The compressor housing is also slightly larger as said, and from memory is around 66mm exducer vs 60mm for the RB20 turbo. Can't remember the inducer size, but its definitely a couple mm or so larger too.

The series 2/Nylon compressor wheels seem to be a bit larger again, from the ones I've looked at

s2 and s1 33 turbos are the same size, just have the different compressor wheel material. the r34 turbo is bigger than them though.

I am fairly sure ages ago I had a S1 and S2 pulled apart side by side (back in my stock turbo days, so this is like 5 years ago and brain fade could be coming into play) and the S2 compressor was as you say, made of different material but was also a little larger... also the composite S2 wheel was a "single blade" style design while the S1 one was twin blade.

yeah the blade design is different (due to the different characteristics of the materials) but as far as i'm aware the size was the same. but i'm no expert on it so you may be right and i may be wrong. i was only aware of the r34 turbos being bigger

anyone know if a R33 compressor housing and compressor wheel can be transfered onto a rb20 turbo? for slightly quicker boost without restricting the airflow?

Don't see why not, people do some bastardising with RB and VG turbos.... have a search for the 240kw $300 turbo or whatever it was...

cool, only reason im asking is cause im buying a cheap rb20 turbo for 100bux and theres nothing wrong with my r33 turbo except its a bit whiney when im cruising off boost (which is why im replacing it) so i thought i could do a bit of a swap between to two so im not losing out.

They are all BB.

If you perform a search and go back far enough this information has been covered so many times but every new thread that gets opened with more misinformation means there is even more for the next person to trawl through.

I understand that it can be hard to search when there are lots of threads on the same thing but it is worth the effort and there are very few questions that haven't been asked or answered on SAU over the last 7 years or so.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
