Im just wondering what aftermarket turbo are ppl on here running on there RB20DET and what sort of power are you making???

Shameless plug

Dont know exactly how much power it had as i never wound up boost and dyno'd it...but same turbo on RB25s make 250-270rwkws. So on an RB20 i would have thought 230-250rwkws would have been realistic

the TD06 uses a different manifold, with ext gate.

see Troy's link on post #2 for all the details.

it is a much different set up to the 2530. if you are chasing good power (over 240rwkw) go for the TD06

Well thats what im hoping but plenty of ppl are tellling me that due the valve size and std cams RB20s wont make good power once you start to venture over the 300rwhp figure????

If thats true then tha lesser response of the TD06 wont pay off up top :Oops: Just grabbed another std RB20 to get the thing back on the road (more money :) ). Should know Friday....but ive been saying that for a while now :rofl: the GTR cams i have are dead, might see if i can get another set somewhere but would rather some 256 8.5mm jobbies

HKS2530 is pretty much the sweet spot. Much more and it becomes a bit of a pain in the arse on the street. Unsure of the 2535 does on the rb20.

LOL...depends how you drive on the street. :P

Id actually say its easier/nicer to drive then a 230rwkws RB25 (ie torque monster) i drove recently as the thing isnt ramping hard onto boost all the time. When you want to GO its a concious decision as you have to wind 4000rpm into it then it takes off.

But i think a 2530 is the money...std injectors, std AFM and std ECU for a nice and reponsive 210-230rwkws...what more can you ask for?

Im mainly interested in drag racing, if i had a PowerFC, Bigger Injectors what would be the best turbo i should get that i can make at least 230-250 RWKW without tons of lag

I was thinking of the TD06 but i dunno if it would be my best option

as for the 2530 im thinking it would be good but weather it will be able to flow enough air for 240kw?????

2535 would flow enough easily i would think.. better off getting cams and gtr cam gears and have more midrange and top end.. with something like 1.3 bar.. 1.4bar i wouldnt be suprised if you could reach 250kw with this.. of course, coola, exhaust, injectors, computer as well tho..

anyone know if the 2535 is external w/gate or not and will it bolt up to the rb20 manifold?

I put the same post on skylinesdownunder.com and someone put up they are getting 294RWKW from a RB20 with a GT30 and 100 shot of NOS????

GTR cams i take it you just use the ones from a stock RB26DETT??

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
