the turbos sounds good to me. Im not an expert or anything but I would be sure to ask them about the results of the turbo on a rb20. Maybe the can send u dyno sheets, and even pics of the cars.

as long as i have been researching I seen the hks 2530,2535 or a lil laggier 2540 and 2835 are most suitable for skylines.

Im hoping to get a 2835 in the future.

:cheers:

let me know how you go

take it easy

My thoughts are you could most likely do better. I have a Trust turbo so this applies to me as well, but the turbo isnt water cooled- so run an oil cooler, and isnt ball bearing-but it does have 360deg thrustplate.

And going on those specs i dont think it will make 500hp, how much hp are you chasing?

Did you read Roy's post?

hi i am not looking for major performance say like 300-350 hp,i ahve an apexi exhaust(due to be changed for a hks single box exhaust)a hks air filter and bov,and a mines ecu..the turbo is standard and can only seem to boost to 0.5,i have put a bleed valve on aswell to see if i can get to go higher on the boost,but seems the more you open it the same it stays...and i have checked and double checked everything so i have jsu put it down to a dudd turbo....

I doubt that it's a dud turbo ... more like a dud bleed valve. Or you have put the bleed valve in the wrong way round. If the turbo was dud it probably wouldn't make any boost at all :D

That turbo you put a link to should be able to make what you're looking for on an RB20

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Hence why I suggested some tests.

      Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
