Hi kids,

I just wanted to post before and after pics of taking the GCG Turbo upgrade path for those that are interested. Can never have too much info!

I bought a second-hand RB20 turbo and shipped it down to be rebuilt & hi-flowed. Here are the pics:

I will post dyno comparison soon (hopefully) when I finally get it bolted on.

Cheers,

Jason

Can you measure the machined inlet diameter size of the compressor housing

I would like to compare it to my high flow on my RB25

I do not who built mine, it does not have a XTR badge on it and it is a Rb20 compressor housing, which has a smaller compressor oulet diameter than the stock RB25 turbo I took off.

Does anyine know if they use the same size compressor wheel in the Rb20 and Rb25 compressor housing?

I have just installed a high flow in my RB25DEt, and it was better value than a HKS 2530.

Its a direct fit, and boost comes on just as good as standard.

From what I can measure so far it improves flow (and kw) by about 20% at the same boost, but has the ability to boost much higher. At this stage I am only running 14psi and get 220rwkw vs my std turbo that got around 180rwkw

More to the point, when the hell did you get a laural!?

And what engine is in the laural?  RB20 Id guess.  Really interested to see how it goes hey.

haven't got it yet - still waiting for it to be fixed and registered - but yeh its an R32 RB20.

at the moment its only got the stuff in my signature - not sure what boost its running but it goes pretty average - hopefully the GCG turbo will make it a little more exciting with a bit more boost - and hopefully it spools OK.

i'm wondering if i'll have to get a new dump pipe or whether the existing one can be machined to match the rear housing??

oh and I don't mind spending 1950 as long as its brand-new-reliable, and I don't have to change any piping or oil lines etc!  been thru all that before too many times!!  pipes/lines/silicon/clamps - it all adds up in the end!!

Or did back in the twin turbo days, but you have now seen the light :thumbsup:

But hey, its about the same price as most of the other similar options. I hope it works. Might be worth it on mine.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
