On top of the spoon feeding, I was going to say that 260+rwkW is TD06 territory. First time I saw it was on the JMS car waaaaaaay back at the end of last century. 265rwkW with a loooooong wait until boost came in.

TD05 might stretch that far these days with the help of E85. Might. Wouldn't count on it.

H ah aha... with the welded on box to mount the wastegate off (on the standard manifold)?? is that the one?

I'll venture to say that short of 12:1 CR and methanol, your not going to get rb25 turbo response from a 260rwkw turbo on an rb20.

Here are your options:

1. An rb20 highflow from hypergear, will get you into the early 200's (call it 210-225rwkw) and will come on very similarly to your rb25 turbo, with a good spread of torque and still be light and revvy.

2. A td06 18g with an 8cm rear, will give nothing untill 4k but give you the old school turbo hit and a butt load of mid/top range torque and decent power.

3. Something in between that will not quite make the power you really want, but will be annoyingly laggy for the end result....

I love rb20's and to be honest the most fun I had with one was with a stock turbo.... An rb20 highflow that comes on nice and early that delivers 220rwkw will be a much quicker car on the road 90 percent of the time that a 260rwkw rb20.

thanks xrated that's more of the type of help I was after.Thats the thing with these forums.there either really helpful like yourself,or they spend more time filling the forum with shi@ about how your questions been covered before.obviously I haven't found what I was looking for or I didn't understand what ive found.If people have nothing useful to say why talk,let some one else on the forum that enjoys chatting do the typing...

Ok.

Where's my thanks.

Nevermind

.

I am so surprised that with all the info available easily to you you still need the spoon feeding.

Good luck digesting the info thrown at you

Be sure to update us with your achievements at the end of it.

And by the way these forums are very helpful, even when people don't spoon feed you.

The fact that tonnes of people share what they have learnt and their results and that that is able to be searched by anyone is priceless.

Back in the day you wouldn't just walk up to a guy at the track and expect him to tell you exactly how to make your car fast like theirs, then blast them off they only five you a little advice, they would have laughed at you.

But now is just expected people will take their time to help complete randoms.

Welcome and good luck with your goals.

In the future could you take a little time to make your posts easier to read? A little formatting goes a long way.

maybe drop in a RB25DET and just buy a HyperGear high-flowed turbo for like $800 (not sure if he has that special still).. will pull heaps harder than any RB20DET and at the end of the day cost you a few thousand dollars less too!

Gees ben.ive posted what mods I am going to do.what I am trying to chase and your saying my post isnt clear enough.ok your entitled to your opinion.if you can point me out where I can find the info I need, rather than telling me to search, even after Ive already said I cant find what im looking for due to the rb20det "how to" post not working.i will be grateful. The second last page you referred to in the rb20det turbo page did not answer my questions and I have searched that forum before.

Huh.

On the second last page of the rb20 dyno thread there's a result from each of the turbos you mentioned. Both falling a fair way short on your power goal.

Surely that is helpful. I suppose I could have linked the specific posts but can't while posting on my phone.

The forum search engine sucks, as do pretty much all of them.

To search a specific site (tgis one for example) use Google and add

Site:/skylinesAustralia.com

to the end of your search terms.

Eg

Rb20 td06 site:/skylinesAustralia.com

Call hypergear tomorrow and ask for the most responsive turbo that will make 260rwkw on an RB20. Stao will sort you out since it sounds like you don't really know how to find the information you want.

or you can go to somewhere like CRD and hand over your credit card. If there wasn't a market for a service like that then these businesses wouldn't exist.

if E85 is an option for you then you can make more power on a responsive turbo which is nice.

If I were you I'd put an R34 Rb25det in with a hiflow on e85 and make a more responsive 340ish rwkw than your RB20 set up could ever be

The neo 25 did cross my mind but the cost put me off.it is only a gtst so I wanted to try to keep to a sort of budget.maybe im aiming a bit to high.i love the 20.i suppose im just trying to get it right.some say highflow the 25 turbo others say too laggy. I will ring hypergear tomorrow.the only thing I have to judge by is the rb25 turbo I have atm.the kinugawa seem cheap but which one is another story.maybe we need a post with lists of turbos and how they respond all on one page just for the rb20 as it is a critical choice.this is probably already out there and I just cant find it.cheers all.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
