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??

    • You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc. 
    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.
