Rb20 Turbo Upgrade

[Locknut]

Hey guys and girls!

My boss lady has given me around $600 to spend on my 89' R32 GTS-T Skyline. I'm hoping to find a reliable bolt-on turbo upgrade within the budget? I'm running a blitz tuned computer, high flow exhaust, pod filter, front mount intercooler and adjustable boost controller, running the standard turbo and around 11psi boost. Can anyone suggest a good reliable turbo upgrade so I can get rid of the STD ceramic turbo and wind up the boost reliably?!?!?

Cheers

Adam

Not enough money.

look five columns up

there is a whole section devoted to your question

^^^ what he said. And $600 is a tad short. I have a HKS 2535 on my skyline I wish to sell. $900firm. With water and oil lines. And HKS elbow. Direct bolt on. Save up for another month and shoot me a pm.

Alas, yes, I thought I'd be pushing a steaming pile up a hill with a pointy stick...

I have spend hours sifting through threads on this great forum but sometimes it's easier to just ask the question directly (even if it has been asked since Adam & Eve were around)

just run 1bar with your standard turbo for now

RB25 turbo and a Walbro Fuel Pump (didnt see one mentioned). 12-14psi max...

blew my op6 turbo at 10 psi, much abuse though

best to save up for a hypergear SS1 or look for a 2nd hand hiflow for cheap

What were you making with the 2535 and what supporting mods did you have? And rb20?

I'm also interested in this turbo in the not too distant future..

235 rwkw on 14psi.computer injectors zorst cooler fuel pump on a rb25. Will be pretty awesome on the rb20 as well but. Had the turbo 6 ish years 15,000km's on it. No chipped/bent fins. No shaft play. $900 pretty firm. With all lines and HKS elbow. Read the rb20 dyno results. Quite a few in there running a HKS 2535.

Oh okay, sweet.. I'll have a look through that.. I am currently running a t04e high mount.. 18psi.. 171kw haha

[Joshbigt62r]

Yeah they are a really aged turbo these days haha. Would be laggy as hell also I'd be guessing. HKS 2535 would be a world apart from the old to4e

I had a HKS2535 on my old R33, made 246kW but the rear housing was glowing brighter than a flame thrower LOL

great response though, would easily have made 1.3bar boost under 3k rpm

[Joshbigt62r]

E85 and 38mm tial gate off the housing and problem solved for a responsive 275rwkw.

Cheers Josh
