I've just been told the rb25 highflow I thought I had is actually an rb20 highflow :/

does anyone know how much the tiny rear housing will flow on a rb25?

I know it's going to choke power, but can anyone shed some light on roughly how much it'll make on a rb25 with all supporting mods + 256/264 cams and e85?

I'm wondering if I should try get a op6 rear housing or just leave it as it is and get a hypergear in the coming months...

Cheers

Technically the Rb20 and Rb25 's turbine housing end are the same. It depending on what the configuration is when the high flow was done, usually the RB20det's wheel sizes are smaller for better response. If that is the case it will chock the Rb25det in upper rev range.

I can still high flow your stock Rb25det turbocharger and produce a responsive 260rwkws mark, while the OP6 usually make 30kws more. That is also about at the limitation of factory exhaust manifold with internal wastegate assembly. Once setup on a high mount with a proper external gate, there will be another 30kws of gain.

If you've got the turbo handy could you show us a photo of the front and rear? might be able to gauge how 'hi flowing' it may be by judging the size of the turbine/comp wheels

these pictures are of the current profile 21u highflow. i guess you can compare them to yours

Hi Stao, I don't have a rb25det turbo, how big a job is swapping over a turbo housing? Could I just put an op6 rear housing on it to free up some power in the upper rev range? Lol am I going to have some 190kw idle spooling turbo if I leave it how it is? :/

Im just going to use this turbo to run the new motor in, eventually ill get an internal gate ss2 off you. No more highflows for me

The turbos on the car now, it's going to be tuned this week, but I had a good look at it before it went back on, and it looked identical to that photo. Same size & style wheel

Will not bolt on. And you rather use the high flow you have then that configuration.

I know it won't bolt on, was just curious if it would physically fit in the stock location. I'm not keen on a .63 anyway, just saw one come up cheap

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
