Hey peeps

Seen alot of people post different views on this so i want some confirmation!

I bought an rb25 turbo and plan to hi-flow it, can i then put this straight onto the rb20 and it will run ok?

Or will i need a new afc, ecu and injectors?

The car has 3' exhaust, fmic, fuel pressure regulator (to be put on) and electronic boost controller set to 0.6 bar and 1 bar.

What parts will i need to change, what would i need to do to get the car running well with it on? Obviously if i boost past 1 bar ill need new injectors/afm to make higher power im well aware of that! More curious to know if it will run fine on 1 bar with the hi-flowed rb25 turbo...

Help would be much appreciated as this is something im looking to do in the future :cheers:

Thanks :cheers:

I know it will physically bolt straight on, even to the current dump pipe but does it need any of these other bits? Seems like if it did might aswell be better off spending abit more on a bigger HKS turbo thats all, and obviously id have to wait a fair bit longer to get a new turbo done if it needed a new ecu etc!! :cheers:

havent done it but am looking to do so, I would think injectors/afm/ecu fine for rb25det turbo upgrade but for a high flow depending on the output would need these three done. Also fuel pressure reg prob not much good unless ur injectors are maxing with rb25 turbo (non high flowed).

im not sure of a few other things though:

in terms of bolting her on i guess 2 new exhaust/dump gaskets and apply maniseal apparently?? Also is there torque settings that you have to use on these bolts on the t3 flange and to dump? Or do you just have a beer and a ciggy and get the spanner n im making too much fuss??

People also seem to say use the rb20 wastegate actuator cause it holds 9psi as opposed to 7psi for the rb25 one - how does this relate to your boost controller say an electronic one?

Sorry for the hijack but hope u and others would also be interested, and we get some details from dudes datve dunnit do deir durbos...didnt mean that it just evolved...ok i shut up now :Oops:

With a 25 turbo on a 20 they do get really fuelly. Even at standard boost levels, higher boost it gest worse.

It will work fine but not be ideal.

Say good by to "any" economy you had. Also you will obviously not make the full power potental of the turbo until its tuned. This has been my experiences anyhow :cheers:

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
