Hey guys im looking at upgrading the turbo on my RB20.

At the moment i have a Rb25det S2 turbo on it and it goes alright but i just want a little more.

I stumbled across a Turbo thats off a VL Turbo thats got a RB25 in it.. The turbo is a HighFlowed T3/T4.

Im not the most experienced turbo man so i need some feedback and help!

Will this turbo do wonders for my Rb20 as iv got a few more bolt ons to put on also such as Greddy E-MANGE Ultimate, Nismo 555cc, Splitfire Coil Packs

Also since this turbo is highflowed it shouldnt have all the ceramic bits anymore?? they should be steel or will it still be ceramic??

Any help will be muchly appreciated

Cheers

how well is your current setup tuned?

do you want more average power or higher top end power at a given point?

there are ways to make the car quicker without more top end power so keep that in mind

a highflow of your current turbo is probanly the best option (in terms of gain and power) but also probably the most expensive

the problem with the T4/Rb25 VL spec is unknown age, condition and specs, so it could be perfect, or it could be ass

on a 2 litre, its very crucial, whereas on a 3liter (from the VL) any spec will perform half reasonably

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
