I'd say not much more than 200rwkw...

it seems the RB25 afm (which has same resolution as rb20) allows tuning on the Rb25 up to about 220rwkw.

considering you would need more boost (air in) in an RB20 to do it, 200rwkw is a good guess.

you would probably get close to 200rwkw with those mods at about 14-16 psi of boost.

Yeah thats what i would have thought but i read this & it sounds like i would be beta off with the 25.

"The VG30DET BB turbo really is not suited to the rb20. It is much better suited to a large capacity motor that requires a free flowing hotside.

It runs the same chra as the R32 rb20; meaning, the compressor wheel and turbine wheels are exactly the same.

The only difference being, the vg30det bb turbo runs larger compressor and turbine housings.

The rb25 turbo is most definitely an upgrade, it runs the same sized turbine housing as the rb20, (from what ive measured) but has a larger compressor and compressor cover.

The R34 RB25 turbo runs exactly the same larger vg30 turbine housing, with the larger comp cover and larger compressor."

hi mate there was a topic on this not so long ago. with SYDNEYKID having this to say on them

There is not a black and white answer to this question. Just because the AFM reaches 5.1 volts output doesn't always mean it has to be changed

The only time you really need an AFM upgrade is when unanticipateable changes in airflow occur, ie; not linear with rpm changes. At high rpm (ie; past boost build and camshaft timing effects) this shouldn't be an issue. The fuel and ignition requirements are satisfactorily driven off the rpm change.

Keeping the above in mind, I have seen an RB30 run quite happily on an RB20 AFM at 265 rwkw. I have also had to change an RB25 AFM at 225 rwkw because the airflow changes where unpredicable (ie; not linear with rpm).

I hope this helps you. As i am currently hoping my set up makes 220 an i will be using the standard afm which is a rb20 one.

Cheers Jamie

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
