How much HP would i get by putting a hi-flowed r33 turbo on an rb20?? Will i need 2 get bigger injectors?? And who's the best man 2 take it 2, 2 do the work??

that first question is very vague

it depends on what boost youre running, what fuel system you have to cope with the new amount of compressed air being shoved into your plenum etc

also, what wheel sizes have you chosen for the hi flowed r33 turbo...have you put a t04 compressor cover on with a 56mm compressor wheel or a 52mm wheel. what AR is the compressor and turbine???? ....you see how vague the question is and how its impossible to give an accurate answer without providing more details.

youll need more fuel if youre gonna run more boost to take advantage of the new turbo. i wouldnt add extra injectors ever. its hard to get the ancillary injectors to atomize the fuel evenly throughout all cylinders which may leave a couple prone to detonation.

if youre changing the turbo, your best bet is to change the computer (fully programmable aftermarket ie. power FC for skyline, i used microtech for my VL) and the injectors at the same time for betting flowing ones (again, i used r33 GTR injectors because they are top feed like the VL and flow 440cc). by this stage, it all adds up.

by this stage youd want a higher flowing fuel pump and maybe an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

the best way of finding someone to do the job is to ring various workshops and ask their opinion on the matter. some will only be too happy to help and provide great advice. then you decide who you felt most comfortable with and who gave the most honest advice and stick with them

goodluck!

I've got a SAFCII & the fuel pressure regulator so will i still need a new computer??

The high flowing is goin 2 b done by turbotech so i still dont know exactly how they r high flowing it.

I'm really just curious on how much HP i mite get b4 i go ahead and do it, better know now whether it is worth doin it then costing me down the track and not getting the HP i want.

But thanx it gives me a rough idea of wat other costs r involved and factors i need 2 look into.

no worries

youll have to keep the standard injectors for now then. youll be able to squeeze a couple more psi through the squirters with the adjustable fuel regulator.

the inprovement will be quite good cause the car will actually be making more power up high and not plateau as before, which is good when combined with the reviness off the rb20 engine.

just make sure you keep a good eye of the air/fuel ratios on the exhaust gas analyser when on the dyno...im sure the workshop will do this for you

So many factors 2 look into with TURBO's.

OK last question 4 da night, will i get around 300HP with a standard r33 turbo on an rb20 with: sard fuel pressure regulator, apexi power intake, splitfire direct ignition system, SAFCII, 3" exhaust from turbo back with 4" tip, 600x300x76mm Hybrid Intercooler, running max boost the r33 turbo can handle.

Thats my plan anyway do you think it is possible. All i need now r the parts, if its worth it, thats y i ask 4 ur opinions. :confused:

Thanx :)

I agree with u on that one TJ... good condition Rb20s wit standard turbos can make 250rwhp, id expect a hi-flowed rb25 turbo cud make anywhere from 280-300rwhp!

If tuned right on around 1bar of boost of course... good luck and let us know where u go and what the outcome is as i maybe doing the same :(

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
