Hey mate.

Just curious as to why you say the High Flow's are only 300hp when GCG and a few other places all quote there turbos at 450hp?

Just did a bit of a serch and a lot of people are getting 230-250rwkw's out of there high flows... Sydney Kid being the exception with 264kw

Also Does it matter if I get a R32 turbo highflowed instead of a R33 one (if cost is a huge difference between the two)?

as I will be buying a 2nd hand turbo and getting that done so I can bolt it on when I have all of my parts ready to go.

I am looking to upgrade the turbo in the next month or so. Just waiting on the bank balance to rise just a touch more.

Thanks mate

Yes, the highflows are only rated at around that figure. And like I said previously, it doesn't mean you can't get 250 rwkw out of your engine with that turbo on. It just means that the turbo is working overtime and is not built to withstand punishment to that degree. Those turbos are capable of handling those horsepower figures but for how long? If you fit things like oil coolers and use a 360 degree thrust bearing, then you will have no trouble supporting 250 rwkw and still have a reliable turbo.

Another example.

Get yourself a 1000hp Skyline and bolt on a highflow turbo. Give it a couple of laps around Philip island and I bet there won't be much left of it. It will also reduce the performance of the engine somewhat.

It is all about getting the turbo that matches your engine and mods.

The other thing I forgot to mention was that I was getting almost 220 rwkw out of my RB20 highflow on standard injectors and standard ECU. That was pretty much the max for it though as injectors limit the horsepower.

So like I said before, you can still get the 250 rwkw but you can't gaurantee the life of the turbo. Plus for the extra $500 you would be mad not to put on something better suited and put out 300 rwkw

How much horsepower/kilowatts do you want? 230rwkw

What are you using the car for? eg. Street/drag

When do you want boost roughly? coming on from 2200...full @ 4000

Do you want power early or late in the rev range? mid-late - i dont mind a Little lag if if will give a better top end hit...must last to redline

What Mods you engine has or is going to have including computers or exhaust etc.? zorst, intake, FMIC, fuelpump, injectors, probably a power fc, possibly cams

Obviously, what car? S13 with a RB20DET

Intercooled? and is it large, small, medium? medium at his stage....VR4 cooler - apprantly flows enough for 230rwkw

Still running AFM or upgraded or no longer there? stock Rb20 80mm AFM

Custom exhaust manifold or standard? (custom exhaust manifolds give you more options) stock manifold - as below....preffered stock but non stock if price is right

External wastegate or internal(limited to virtually 450hp - internal gate preferred but external if price is right

thx jason :rofl:

Mate, if you only want 230 rwkw. I should be able to get you something for around $1700 that will come on full boost at 3000rpm and last way past redline.

General rule is....if your engine stops producing power, so will the turbo. Or even if the engine reduces in power, so will the turbo.

You would probably be best to go for something like a GT25/30. you would be best to wait until they come out with the T3 flange configuration as this will mean a couple of hundred less in fitting costs.

well i think i'll definately want 1x GT35r with the .82 housing so thats $1900 ??

and i may also want a 1.06 exhaust housing for the GT35r (my current one has .82) $ ??

if you want you can PM me more details or a contact number :D

Cheers

Dave

The 2530 on the RB20 is actually quite a nice combo.

Its all in by 4000rpm and makes really good power.

On the RB25 I think its a little small, especially when you consider they only make 220-230rwkw max. The stock turbo makes 190rwkw or with an adj. cam gear maybe 200 depending on the dyno.

Bare minimum on the rb25 I would go the 2535. 240rwkw is fairly decent for the outlay.

Comparing the rb20 to a 25 is like comparing a dyno graph of a 25 to a 30. :D

You are right, the 25/35 would be a better match with that engine.

I will be speaking to him tomorrow (Friday)

$1900 is correct for the Garrett GT35R.

He is getting back to me about the exhaust housing.

On another seperate matter. The T04's that I was talking about earlier for someone, he will be giving me an answer tomorrow also. He has been away in Perth for a few days so I haven't been able to contact him.

I have a contact who owns a very reputable TURBO business. They took over from Turbotorque around 3-4 months ago. I am getting VERY good prices for ALL turbos. I can pretty much get anything you want and to suit whatever. Prices are usually discounted by around $500 from retail so there are some massive savings to be had. Please post if anyone is interested.

EG. I just bought me 450hp Ball bearing turbo for a little over $1000. Retail on this particular one is over $2000 so you get the picture.

If there is enough of an interest I will see if he will give further discount for a group buy, however, a group buy is not essential. Sau members will receive further discount on top. These prices are NOT fitted. This will only put the turbo in your hand, or trailer - depending on how large you go.

where bouts u located.

    • 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"
