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)

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
