Hello

I am ready to begin saving to buy a bigger turbo for my R32 GTS-T.

I asked a few months ago and I was suggest to try hi flow with Hyper Gear or similar company, GTRS, or one of the new Garrett turbos(dont remember which one).

My goal is 400hp. I want a responsive street car that will go on the highway and sometimes go to the track(no racing). But street car is the main.

Is it still a good choice to go with hi flowing a rb20 or rb25 turbo? Or should I look at something else?

Something else.

a lot has changed in the last few months of turbo tech for bolt on 20 year old engines. ..

Oh wait. No. That hasn't happened. And won't.

Meaning for the exact same reasons a Hypergear hi flow was recommend it is still the best option for you.

Street car, responsive and RB20 in the same phrase doesn't really get along.

I'm far from 400hp on my 20 and the car is not user friendly on the streets nor responsive for daily driving. Getting a better turbo could help but it won't make miracles. On track though there is no problem of responsiveness, but still far from 400 hp.

Good thing is, you can lend the keys to a person who never go above 4000 rpm without sweating. lol

Smaller HP goal, lower responsiveness goal or bigger capacity engine for street use with a 20.

HKS2530, GT2860RS, the smallest Hypergear hi-flow unit.

You may try an EFR 6258 if you can get a T3 flange welded on the housing.

All these turbo could be called responsive on a 20 for street use and will yield 220rwkw give or take.

Any bigger than this and you will degrade the fun on the streets.

Thank you.

I was waiting till I was ready for the stage of saving up to buy the turbo before asking more questions.

I will start saving now.

There are only 3 realistic options for an RB20 according to the 1998 issue of Hyper-rev

1. 350hp or less (response) 2530 or similar

2. 350 to 400hp (kills the entire bottom end) Trust TD-06 or similar

3. Increase displacement (RB2.2, RB2.3, RB2.4, or RB25)

They reached these conclusions 15 years ago; very little has changed today.

Lose some weight, you'll go faster.

Making 400hp & response from a RB20DET is not going to be cheap.

Making 400hp & response from a RB25DET is more cost effective and you'll spend less time & money.

More money for hookers & cocaine.

But then the tax costs more in Japan or some crap. That's his excuse anyway.

Which I find hard to believe. Why did Nissan bin the rb20?

IMO its a waste of time and money going to a 25 if you want 400hp when a bolt on 20G setup gets you there and is cheap, reliable and frankly my car was awesome fun like this for close to 10 years.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
