Stock ECU - forget about anything occuring mate. Dont even wind up the boost until you get a tune.

GT35 - boost around 4,000-4,500 even with a .63, might be later. Hard to say.

You'll be lucky if you make 300rwkw on 20psi

You'll need to throw 25psi+ down it's neck to get anywhere with a 700hp turbo with a choked rear end. You'll also need a bigger exhaust for that turbo. 3" might not get you there.

All that said, you've probably realised a theme - buy something that is not a 700hp turbo for 250rwkw and be much better off for it. I think it's a very bad choice of turbo.

There are loads of better choices:

3071 - 260rwkw

TD06 - 270rwkw

HKS2530 - 230rwkw

Also forget the Iridi plugs, waste of money. Buy normal copper.

That's quite a big turbo with a tiny rear end for a tiny motor. You'll get more investing in an RB25DET motor and a little more boost. Seriously, an RB25DET stock turbo 13 psi with a tune, pump, injectors and what not will see about 220rwkw.

Once you start getting past 220-230 rwkw with a rb20 you'll get nothing but lag, the best turbos out there ie least amount of lag for a 20 will get you 230 rwkw max, once you start chasing more that means bigger turbo = lag, and i mean piss you of annoying lag trust me. The turbo you listed will be to laggy and is more suited to a 2.5 or 3 litre.

If you have the cash invest in a 25, pretty easy to get a reliable 260-300rwkw where as a 20 is kinda to restricted for anything over 230.

I'm sunning a standard turbo highflowed and have 219 rwkw and its not to laggy, still more then standard of course but no where near as bad as say a 33 highflow. I make full boost by around 4-4.5k, i personally think around 210-230 is perfect for a 20.:thumbsup:

A hks 2535 would prob get you closer to 240 or more but unsure how it compares lag wise to the hks 2530 which is a proven winner on a 20.

I should ad that e85 could be the way to go to, theres a guy on here who got 265 rwkw from his 20 with similar turbo as mine, just he has spent a fair bit of time on rb26 inlet manifold and a few other things, but still a pretty good effort.

A proper trust TD06L2 has been proven time and time again...

If you think it is really laggy then you should not have an RB20. It is a worthwhile compromise.

If you still want it for daily duties and a little track then you can't go past the HKS 2530 option mentioned or the 2871.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
