Im being told that rb20's make power easier than 25's

Also that my mate has 270rwkw from his rb20det...

There was a thread created a while ago for people with rb20's making 260rwkw or more and all seemd to have trouble getting there

Just to confirm rb20's make less torque, have more turbo lag and as a genral make less power if the mods where the same for an rb25

?

No. A mate of mine has basically the same mods on his RB20DET as I have on my RB25DET. We both have upgraded turbos on stock manifolds, stock motors, aftermarket ECU and fuel system etc.

My car is tuned on BP98 at 17psi and makes 301wkw, same dyno his car tuned on 30% ethanol and 21psi makes 295kw. He gives me a bit of a run for my money on midrange torque - probably more to do with extra boost and better fuel, but his falls flat at 6000rpm and mine keeps making more power. On the same fuel and boost I have roughly 50kw on him, better off boost torque and way better midrange.

No comparison.

Il grab the list of mods and let you guys decide

apparently stock injectors, stock ecu.. 3incj zorst, fmic, 18psi, flat top pistons, to4e turbo and a tune making 256rwkw

il update if there are any mods i left out

stock injectors would not let you produce that much power.

I've owned both RB20DET and RB25DET, for someone to say RB20DET makes more power easier than RB25DET mod for mod, they must be on drugs >_<

Mod for mod, the RB25DET will make more power easily, why on earth would R32 boys be putting RB25DET motors into their cars? Go figure!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
