Hello

I have a Rb 25 turbo I am going to put onto my RB 20 DET. I have seen many aftermarket turbos. In the old posts, the 2530 is talked about a lot.

Which turbo will be good for me if I want 300 plus horse power, and is good for a daily driver with good mid range but can get up and go if I want it to?

Help please

a neo turbo on a rb20det with frount mount and exhaust stock ecu untuned will make 200kw at the hubs at 11 psi with the injectors on the limit . your stock injectors wont do 300 hp (maybe with lots of pressure ). slap some gtr ones in . so maybe look into that .

depends on budget and future goals

Speak to a professional like Yavus at UNIGROUP, there are 11ty GAZILLION ways to go, but really only one right way.

Make sure you know what you want from your car first though, budget-lotsa $$$$$-power-response-street-circuit-drags

Look at the RB20 dyno thread. From there work out a power goal that is reasonable for your budget.

If you have $4000 and want response but reasonable power go an HKS2530.

As an example I aimed for approx 220rwkw and bought the following. I fell short at 215rwkw but I have a very old engine.

In that case your looking at:

$1000-$1400ish for turbo/lines/HKS actuator

$300 for GTR injectors + clean and flow test

$240 for a Bosch 040 fuel pump

$500 for Just Jap FMIC

$60 for resistor pack

$40 for Turbotech boost controller

$250 for Z32 AFM

$1200 for Power FC

$800 for tune(depending where you live)

If you just want something cheap but less than 200kw you can pretty much get away with buying an RB25 turbo and chucking it straight on with a boost controller.

A dyno will not tell you how good or bad your response is, My dyno graph from 2 yrs ago was a nice smooth line up to 260kw which looked great but was as laggy as 10 laggy things, in the real world a dyno reading isn't the road, you need something from 1 st to top gear running up from idle to get a good reading of what is really happening .

Have a look in HPI no 124 page 81, excellent write up.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
