WelL done STEVE!! So i'm not the only one who believes in the .82 ex. housing. To me it is almost perfect for the rb25. all u need now is some cams and dial her in and u be smiling until the top half of your head falls of.

The guy who posted this originally has the GT30-40 intended for an RB20, so the 0.87 A/R would be crap.

Joel,

I was thinking about a better wastegate actuator as well. I don't really have a major problem anymore, holds 17psi well with the BOV mod I did.

I still don't quite understand how a harder spring would make a difference, although I haven't really thought about it either. Thing is, I want 8psi for around town and if the spring is set at "14psi" then I assume it will remain shut until that boost is reached? No good.

I dont intend runnign more than 17psi (1.2bar) anyway so I might be fine with the current setup, woudl rather spend on cams and nice exhaust manifold.

Freebaggin,

It also would come down to the EBC. Mine would do what ever boost I pumped in to it but I would notice some where around 500rpm boost would drop .5psi then creep back up to the dialed in boost. It strugged but would do it.

I have heard some good and bad things about the HKS EBC. Origionally I was going to buy one then at the last minute lost my deposit and bought a Blitz.

The older HKS EBC's are crappy, apparently the newer ones hold boost a bit better.

yep thats it.. I personally don't mind high boost all the time as with the RB20 if you drive normally the most boost it will make is around 5psi. BUT It is a bit of a pain in the arse when you try to take off a little quick in first and first gear snapps 1bar hard causing wheel chirp and makes you look like your thrashing it.

Got cams, dont think they, well exh, is dialled in too well as yet. I think a 0.87 may be a bit big for an RB20 too, but then again, I think a 3040 may be a bit big for an RB20 - depends on what you want though - Two different people can take the same car for a spin, one love it the other hate it.

Freebaggin, just stick with 1.2bar all day every day, it would make life more interesting:) You know you want to:p

Not sure if this info will help but i had a garret gt30 with a .7 front cover and .82 rear housing on a rb25. With 1.8bar i made 320rwkw. full boost was between 4-4500rpm. It was a very smooth power band. Power would start to drop off @ 7200rpm. It went to as low as 290rwkw @ 7600rpm with my old engine and set up.

I will defenetally post the resault... Mymechanic said : dont forget that u got stock internalls so dont exept big powrer , and i asked him how much u rekon? he said maybe 300 rwhp..

hes ganna set the boos to 16 to 18 psi and i think that would be enough for me for now till i get my internalls done or i swap the engine to RB25-26 and then i can talk about big power.. hehehe

So stay Tune...

Im with benm, i wouldnt go changing the internals of an RB20DET at that power level. Even though it is essentially a 100% increase over a std RB20DET, you are essentially increasing the effeciency of the engine with most of the mods (IC, filter, Exhaust) with only the turbo boost pressure increasing the stress on the engine.

There is evidence that boost doesnt actually hurt a turbo engine as much as revs as long as the tune is up to scratch.

Intersting to see your results...

Whoops - well I just got an HKS 3040 (1.12 AR exhaust ) & HKS high mount manifold - it may be a bit big for my RB25DET - but cause my internals are done, headwork, cams, cam gears and higher redline - I'm hoping it will be OK..... we'll see I guess...

What injectors did you end up running with this setup? I can't wait to hear about your results!

B-Man, that's gonna be fantastic mate, like you say, you've got the support gear to go with it and you'll be able to rev the tits off it to make use of the power band shift to the higher RPM.

Interesting the difference between the Garrett and HKS GT3040 CHRAs:

Garrett

Comp, trim = 56, 60mm/82mm

Turbine, trim = 84, 60mm, 55mm

HKS

Comp, trim = 50, 58mm/82mm

Turbine, trim = 84, 60mm, 55mm

Minor differences in sizes. With that 1.12 housing it will be huge power!

RBSileighty - ATM i got the standard 272cc injectors, my mech. said that hes ganna power run it first to see if i need the injectors if so ill upgrade them to 600cc ones.

I cant wait myself either to see the resault.. im ganna go and have a look at the car tomorrow to see how far he went. his 1 of the best mechanics around.

Cheers guys

one more thing i was ganna say was, i dont think if im ganna do my internals, why? coz dont forget that it still is a RB20, so may be next step for me would be RB25 or 26 + forgies + my turbo setup = low 11s.

How does that sound? its true that the turbo might be a bit small but by then ill think about it... may be a big ass T51R SPL $$$ or TRUST TD06 or 7.. GOD knows better :D

Any ways.. Stay tune.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
