Hi everyone.

I'm currently in the market for a new bolt on turbo for my RB20. I've had my eyes on the HKS GT2530. What are peoples thoughts on this turbo, lag, price and where to get one?

I'd also like to know if there's any other bolt ons that I should be looking at aswell.

I really don't want to be spending more than 2k on the turbo.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Seb.

(Yes I know this has probably been covered before)

i've been looking for an upgrade too. I've decided to buy a GT2871R in a RB25 housing to bolt on from horsepowerinabox.com (special order) . But i think you should get a high flowed and steel wheel converted RB25 turbo from GCG. Great power output for the price and you get a discount for being an SAU member. Good reliable bolt on

I personally really like the TD06-20G on the RB20DET.

Well more so Roy's TD06 setup on his rb20det's.

The average power that thing makes is simply awesome.

I have never seen an rb20det with such an impressive power curve.

      I have driven it slowly around the block, didn't notice any issue with the brakes. It is a vacuum brake booster.

      Stock speakers / head unit functionality

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Hi all, so some of my speakers still work some I don’t think work. The old head unit is still all functional. If I keep the stock head unit as I feel it’s vintage then can I just pop in new speakers - would that be plug and play? Would I need to bypass the amps in the doors and back? Heard there’s 3 of them.  anyone run a blue tooth into the stock head unit? Or is the only option running one of those tape decks with cable coming out?  my cd deck controller although rare I don’t think is working anymore either. Guess if I got that working with the speakers then I could load some cds.    just seeing my options here if anyone has some advise.

      My trusted mechanic is Tunehouse in Calder St, Marrickville. He's the guy who did the ECUtek dyno tune on mine. I'm nearing the 85k mark for my motor and I'm considering getting the oil galley gaskets done as preventative maintenance when the time comes. Since my garage isn't big enough for such a task, I'm definitely going to be handing it over to him. You'll be impressed by how clean he keeps his workshop. It gives you the confidence he and his employees will look after your vehicle with the same pride.

      The Bogan Sports Car now has fresh gear bag and diff oil The old gear bag oil was nice and clean looking, the old diff oil was average looking, not horrible, just dark, I've seen worse in other cars, much worse Good things was that both drain plug magnets looked good with zero bits of anything apart from a small coating of that typical black goo you get on the diff plug, it was probably the original diff oil, but nothing shiny The shifts are sweet, and the Torsen is Torsening like a boss (tested in the work vehicle maintenance yard after work). LOL In other noise related news, the Racing Beat axle back sound nicer than stock from outside with the roof down, but still pretty quiet, but it's not noticeable at all really inside with the roof up.....maybe it needs a header.....🤪  This is what a OEM header looks like 😝 > 🤣🤣🤣🤑
