There are plenty of ways to skin a cat...so there are plenty of turbos that will do a good job.

Many ppl have good results with HKS 2510 or 2530s, then there are GCG 450hp Hi-Flows, then there is the Trust T517z, Apexi AX53...or an off the shelf 320hp Garret turbo.

Id be inclined to go with a 320-380hp Garret turbo, Hi-Flow or a HKS turbo. Whilst i dont think ball bearing turbos are the end all be all i think if given the opportunity they are a good thing if they fit your budget.

These sorts of turbos will net you 200-215rwks @1.0-1.2 bar (remembering that a std RB20 has arounf 110-120rwkws) . With a neat intercooler, a 3" exhaust, a better flowing filter and a re-chip or SAFC you will be on your way.

The money you save on injectors can go towardss a better clutch, and if you ever get bored of the power there is always a market fotr the HKS or GCG Hi-Flow turbos.

Hell if you use forged pistons then some of the above turbos work really well at 1.2-1.4bar, something i highhly doubt a VG30 will do. From things i have read VG30s are lucky to make 180rwks

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
