Hi Guys,

At the moment I have a blitz LM

cooler, boch 044 pump, exedy organic clutch, pod, bleed valve, re-mapped ecu

and its currently making

158.8rw kw's on (13psi) although Im starting to become bored and would like

to add another 90 odd kw's to that.

Im not sure on what turbo to buy, something responsive, good for a daily

driver and able to make good power at round 16psi.

I was advised by www.horsepowerinabox.com to go for the Garrett GT28 as viewed on the website.

What do you guys think of that turbo?

Has anyone bought one or know anyone that has bought one?

Also it a T25 flange, is that bad to get an adapter for a smaller flange?

thanks

Mark

hey mate :P

GT28 is seems to be mainly targetted towards the SR20's ..especially seeing as its got a T25 flange.. but seeing as the RB20DET is 2L might suit fairly well and would be responsive.

But I think the power rating is low 200's. If you want another 90rwkw you'd probably want something a bit larger

You did not mention exhaust or dump. If you have not done these then that would be your cost effective next step.

You dont want to loose too much response by going too big in the turbo either with the RB20. I have rebuilt mine to T4/T3 for about $1500 (ATP Melb.) but could not get to 180Kw on dyno. But I am leaving it in there and improving everything else until the turbo is the last thing stopping me to get 250AWKw :P

i have a gt28 440hp bb on my rb 20 makes good useable power after 3500 makes 226 rwkw on 18 psi still t25 flange also..... i would concider selling my complete bolt on rb20detup if u were in the market turbo has done about 4000km since new...

Hey...got a dyno print out you can post up?

dude,

here's a 350hp GT25 (446179-0031) for you;

http://board.performanceforums.com/forums/...readid=67178962

although if you'd like more power you'll need to go for the next one up, i.e., 446179-0032 which has a larger compressor wheel, hence more air-flow.

PM me as a friend might have one of these for sale.

dude,

here are the specs of the HKS GT-RS turbo

http://www.hks-power.co.jp/products/turbo/...rs/ac_gtrs.html

and before u start jumping up and down about the power, take into account the mods that were down to the SR20 in test.

also, if u look carefully enough, you'll see that the HKS GT-RS has the same 'GT35' wheel as the Garrett GT25 (-32), although it has a smaller 51.2mm inducer (hence, 52-trim).

sounds interesting

thanks for the info rs500!

I am not yet ready to purchase although in the next 3-5 months i will be, and I just want to find out what will be the very best for my needs without just purchasing then regreting.

Ofcourse at the time i am going to do injectors, fuel reg and possibly a wolf 3d or power fc through greenline.

I want to have 200ish kw's on lower boost like 10psi and possibly 250kw's at high boost.

I was even considering the HKS 2535. New from greenline they are $2,200.

I cant believe your mate is only making 200kw's with the 2530, there are heaps of people on the forums that have claimed 220 and even 230 (at 1.2bar) with the rb20 & minimal mods.

Different engine, different tune, different engine/diff/transmission oil, different dyno, boost read before / after intercooler different air temps etc etc. A dyno figure gives you a number, best look at what percentage increase over your original figures

just get a GT-RS turbo on it. rated at 400ps and with response similar to a 2535 you should get a nice power curve, and no one else has done it yet.

ive got a 2530 on my RB20 and its great, but i want to make a little more top end. response and midrange is fantastic, but i would like that little bit of extra pull up top.

Considering my turbo knowledge is pretty much nothing still, what turbo would you be looking at to get that top end pull? As thats what Im after atm, and Im HOPEING with the extra weight of the cefiro it might help kill a bit of the lag (although would probabaly be worse off boost/down low)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
