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.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
