rb20-calais

i have opted to go with a gt25, i am undecided on if i should go the 400hp or 440hp model, i realise an adapter plate will be around $100. The 440hp model is only like $100 cheaper... but will be laggier? will the 400hp model support 250kw@wheels... i am undecided... i have been told the 440hp model will hit full boost around 3500rpm as i know someone who has one on a ca18 and it hits full boost at 4100rpm thanx evan

thanks for the info joel i appreciate it thanks evan

hey, just wondering if anyone knows if there are differences between the afms. someone i know just did a rb25/30 in a vl and needs an afm... i have my rb20det one... will it work? Thanx Evan

thanks for your replies! Evan

Guys! There is 22hours left on the auction for my supra frount mount cooler and it will sell... it is at $110 ... that is a bargain i payed $300 6 months ago... start bidding!!! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...item=2420855035 BUY BUY BUY

yeh, I think a 2530 would be great but I am a bit sceptical buying a second hand turbo from japan. There is one at hikari for $1780 with a t3 flange although in the pic I cant see hks on the turbo so i think it is a garrett item... anyone can confirm? 2530 sounds perfect for what I want and I would buy a second hand one if the condition was known.

Guys, I have done a lot of searching and reading but there is not much information reguarding results with GT** turbos, mostly discussion is about the HKS items. I dont have a turbo I sold it as I was gonna do a rb25 turbo but i have decided to do the lot and have taken my car off the road. I really want to hear your imput on the differences between the GT25/28 and different driveability. The GT25 is rated @ 400hp and I was told it will make 250kw@wheels, but @ what boost? I was looking for around 220-230kw@wheels to be daily driven and maybe wind it up a bit for the strip. I have a Wolf 3D V4 with hand controller. To be able to fit the GT25 to my car I was quoted the following. $100 for the adapter plate welded to old manifold, $250 for 3" dump ($300) if i want a screamer and $220 for the lines(braided). Is this a good price? It was from Ricol Performance. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanx Evan P.S. I will have a cooler, fuel, etc to run the numbers... no comments on how its not just a turbo that will get me power

Doctor, Just Jap in Kirrawee send these turbosa away to be highflowed for $1500 ... give em a call as i am unsure of the specs. Evan

Qiktrak is upgrading their network as we speak, they also cover sydney metro, brisbane metro, melbourne metro... soon newcastle and wollongong. Evan

i have qiktrack. my dad has it on his xr8 and i have it on my calais with rb20... very happy with it and the service. Reputation is everything in security. Evan

i have blown a standard rb20 turbo, first time i drove it i accidentally had the boost set to 30psi (was max thought it was set at stock) i had no guage and it went hard for about 5 secs.... then BOOM...... SHREEEEEEEK!!! new turbo evan

my mate has a rb20 in a 180sx... he is very happy with it evan

i am also considering buying one of these coolers, any help appreciated. thanx evan

Guys, The cooler off my car is for sale because i am upgrading. Its a supra type with both inlet/outlet on the same side. There is piping but it suits a rb20 in a vl so it will need modifying for other applications. pics @ http://www.pbase.com/rb20calais Offer me some cash and we'll negotiate. Evan p.s. located in sydney.

i am also doing this conversion will report when it is done my findings evan

i have the same problems... my computer is standard, will i need to disconnect the boost solenoid to run more than stock boost? how do i do this? evan

sorry has been sold thanx anyway

cool. one of my mates is giving me his highflow off his vl ... with high compression it made 170kw@wheels on 14psi without a cooler (tolulene). i am going to trial it on my rb20, if it is too laggy and has bad driveability i will not buy it and get an rb20 turbo. i am leaning towards this because it can hold over 200rwkw and i know its in great condition. Thanx for your help. Evan P.S. anyone else used a highflow on their rb20? pros? cons?

what is the lag like? more or less? what setup do you have? thanx evan

hey, I want to buy a rb25 turbo and i think i have found one seems to be in good condition and the right place. The picture of the turbo i received has the part number as 45V1. I did a search and it said this is the part number for a r34 rb25 turbo but also i saw something that this is also the code for a vg30det turbo? is this the case? Anyway here is the link to the pic of the turbo http://www.pbase.com/image/17845412/original It looks in good condition but is it an rb25 turbo? please any help appreciated! thanx evan

i also run motul turbolight in my rb20 i am happy with it evan

greenline have them for like $450 delivered (depending on exchange rate) i emailed the australian agent and he confirmed this but i didnt ask... would we have to pay customs on it? evan
