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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
