Hey everyone, just wanted some people feedback on something, i have a rb20, and are undecided on what turbo to get? Thinking either a hks2530, 2535, or a garret 2860, i heard these are pretty much the same type, or i was thinking of getting a rb25 turbo high flowed, im chassing about the 230kw mark but want it to start making boost early, ill have all the supporting mods, just dunno weather the rb25 turbo will be laggy, hears they can be once there highflowed.

If anyone can give me some advice, or if they have done this, much appreciated guys

Cheers

Have you checked out the Hypergear thread? He does highflows and brand new bolt on turbo's, cannot recommend his work enough. If you can get hold of an HKS turbo cheap enough, should get the job done. Just not sure whether or not it will bolt onto your stock exhaust manifold, inlet/outlet pipes, or dump pipe.

Yer i have seen his website amd read a few things on here aswell? Have u used hos stuff before? Have u got a high flowed turbo that he did? Whats it go like? Spool time and stuff? Yer the hks are really hard to find and usually expensive aswell for a 2nd one. Yer the hks are a 6 bolt housing im pretty sure and ive got a after market dump pipe to fit any 6 bolt rear housing turbo anyway just gotta get the turbo!

Yeah i've got one of his ATR43G3's. 375rwhp on 21-20psi. Kicks in at 4200rpm so it is kind of laggy, but only compared to the measly little plastic/ceramic stock turbo :P

If i were after 230rwkw i would be finding a blown rb25 turbo and getting it highflowed, completely bolt-on, and its the cheaper option.

Why would the highflowed rb25 turbo be laggy? Coz stock would start making boost pretty early?

Its a hard decision i dunno what to get the hks are really expensive, and getting a rb25 high flowed is kinda like a new turbo, the main thing i dont want it to be laggy! Does anyone know much about when they say .63 or something? Is that ment to have something to do with the rear housing?

The RB25 housing is already larger, hi-flowing will further increase the size. Hence they are 250-290rwkw in hi-flow form... But they always nose over.

The A/R is just a relative size. It varies depending on the turbo and wheels in question... And how much meat is removed during hi-flowing

JordansR32, I just got one of the Hypergear RB25 hiflows last week. It's good, a brand new CHRA fitted to old housings, so really a new turbo. Not running a huge amount of boost through it as I'm on stock ecu, definitely tons more top end though. Not alot of instant response though IMO. From what I have read the HKS GT-RS and Trust TD05H 18G are great punchy turbos for the low 200kw mark? There's a Trust TD05H 18G bolt-on kit on ebay for sale at moment too for $1500. Or *product plug :)* I have my old R33 stock turbo for sale cheap suitable for rebuild, and also an R34 OP6 if you're chasing a bit more from the highflow.

Yer i think the hks garrett can handle more power and boost, i want to run about 20psi on high boost with a nistune and all the support mods, still tossing up my opions, ill have a look at the dyno results and go from there i think

Get the Hypergears SS1PU. That is a very responsive turbo with a super strong punch.

Wait. just noticed OP ask for a Rb20det turbo lol. For that power check out their high flows and the smaller SS1.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
