hey guys/gals

i don't know a lot about the skyline motors and since i have just converted my S13 silvia to rb20det, i just had a few questions to ask...

what is the stock turbo on a silver top rb20det?

is it easier (or much less) to high flow a R33 turbo or just buy a second hand 2530 turbo?

is there a lot to be gained by high flowing the stock turbo's? i did a search but it came up with a lot of side tracked posts.

thanks

Ball bearing hi flow is the best for all round performance and obviously it bolts straight back up from whence it came. No aftermarket turbo will do that. The ball bearing hi flow from GCG will reach the power limit of the standard engine ineternals. I have used a number of them and they are the ONLY turbo I have found that I can get more power EVERYWHERE than standard.:rofl:

to clarify, if you will, do you mean high flow the stock rb20det turbo through say GCG? Is this turbo ball bearing stock or is that done when high flowed?

also i thought the rb20det internals would handle something like 250rwkw (is that right?, though i know injectors, afm, ecu etc need modding), surely the high flow doesn't get that much??

Yep

Both

Yep, but it does very much depend on the condition of the engine.

though i know injectors, afm, ecu etc need modding), surely the high flow doesn't get that much??

The GCG ball bearing hi flow produces enough airflow for 265 rwkw out of an RB25, done it quite a few times. There is no reason why an RB20 would be any different, as long as it has the right mods and the engine is in good enough condition.

Hope that answered your questions.:rofl:

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
