Hey guys I have an r32 with an rb20det. Ive had it for about 5 months now and has the following mods

rb25 turbo (steel wheeled by Steve murch)

z32 afm 

gtr injectors 

walbro pump 

turbosmart fuel reg 

frount mount

allloy intake pipe 

waste spark setup 

3.5"exhaust 

stainless dump pipe 

38mm tial waste gate 

chipped ecu

A/c removed

Turbosmart boost controller

Its currently running 14psi and full boost doesn't come on till 5500rpm but pulls hard all the way to the redline which is too much lag for my liking. Any ideas on why it is so laggy?

Any help would be appreciated

Yeah I got the car like that. Yup im guessing it was chipped for everything by the previous owner.

Yeah got a screamer but yeah the wastegate is opening properly.

I'm not sure if it's been high flowed but my mate has a standard 25det turbo and my exhaust side is different to his so yes maybe?

Check to make sure gate and any where else arn't leaking first.

Rb20det don't have VCT and turbo selection needs to be treated same as a S13 SR20det. So those mediocre high flows that felt just alright on an Rb25det will drive laggy as hell on an Rb20det.

Rb20det high flow profiles are very different to Rb25dets.

Get another dead or alive RB25det turbo, we can high flow it to factory alike response with possibly more power.

oh that would be mean. How much would that cost?

oh and found out why it was so laggy.. i replaced my 25det turbo with a 20det turbo and noticed how heavy the wheel was of my steel wheel 25det turbo. it hardly spun compared to my mates standard 25det turbo.

now boost comes on ALOT earlier almost no lagg but i miss the pull of the 25det turbo..

    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
    • Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.
    • I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
