I made a thread about turbo selection before and came to the conclusion of a kinugawa td05, should see nice response along with decent overall power and they're relatively cheap and decent quality, however its nice to see a couple more options out there on a budget

Fair enough, i'm well out of the rb20 game now.

Mike, I had a stock series 2 R33 turbo on my old R32, from memory it was almost as punchy in the low revs... and fell over almost as soon in the high revs, only made 174rwkw with a tune. May have been an issue with my decision to go for an ARC side-mount instead of a front mount though. Looking back i really wish i'd put in a kit to measure the air temps before/after the cooler, I bet that they were going crazy but I can't be sure.

You'd need to get some machining done to fit the correct profile, about $150 ish depending on who does it. Note i don't think you can do this for a gtx2860, only a gtx2863, i've run into issues trying to get gtx2860's sorted for gtr suitable comp covers. issue is that gtx2860's are smaller than 2530's (and all of the other gtr style ball bearing comp covers), so you can't exactly machine in extra material

You are confusing GTRs and GTSt. The comp cover can be an issue if you are trying to use std cooler pipes on your GTR with GTX turbo. On a GTSt just use the std GTX compressor cover that comes with the turbo! No machining required!

how much power/torque are you actually after?

Perhaps a stock R34 NEO turbo might just suit your needs.. I recently road tuned a R34 NEO turbo bolted to a RB20DET and it's not too bad in terms of lag and power.

Didn't put it on the dyno so no idea lol..

just put timing into the motor till I could hear a touch of knock then backed a few degrees off.

I'm convincing him to just put a RB25DET NEO into it lol

Ok, I have an RB20 turbo high flow from Hypergear on my car. First link here is when I got my E85 tune. If I had a biggier fuel pump and injectors I could have made more power.

I got sick of E85 and living further away from the pump than I used to, so I switched back to 98RON, this is that tune. Didn't have the budget to go flex.

    • To be determined, Luke, to be determined. 😁 Definitely the car
    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
