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

  • 1 month later...
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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
