RedDrifter Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I am wndering if any of you turbo guru's out there might be able to enlighten me on if this seems like a good idea? Now the GT2860RS discopotateo has had a good rap from what I have heard especialy on an RB20. Now I am asking this as my brother unfornately became another victim of the ceramic wheel of his vg30 turbo that was on his RB20 (R32). So we were thinking of doing this for a few resons. 1) The turbo will still look stock 2) The disco potateo seems to be a sweet turbo on smaller displacement motors 3) The vg rear housing will loosen up the power at the top end. Now will this make it too laggy down low? All so could anyone out ther be able to tell me what the A/rs are for the rear housings on the 3 different sized nissan turbos. (VG30/R34_Rb25, RB25, RB20). Now I don't know alot about turbos aprt from there basic pricipals etc so I am sorry if I sound silly. Thanx guys.

salad Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 i should only be as laggy as the vg30 turbo with the highflow as the A/R is the biggest factor of when it will boost. did your bro find it laggy with just the stock VG30 turbo?

It came on round 500rpm later than stock turbo but it was only on the car for about 5 mins and it spat the ceramic wheel at 10psi. Bit of a bugger but thats life.

salad Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 im talkin about when you put the discopotatos internals in. should only be as laggy as the stock vg30 turbo, maybe a bit heavier due to heavier/bigger wheels Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/106137-vg30-turbo-high-flow-idea/#findComment-1956450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Send it to GCG for hi-flowing Works wonders for the VG30's as the rear housing is bigger than R33 turbos Thats my thought anyhow. It'll be a little come on later, i mean going bigger generally speaking does that. But the use of cams would offset it a little, and he's be into the 200rwkw range easily Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/106137-vg30-turbo-high-flow-idea/#findComment-1956516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx240 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 send it to turbo australia, they graft a complete garrett ball bearing core into the stock covers. makes easy power with buggerall lag and you get a brand new core rather than one of those rebuilt cores that gcg sells. costs around $1500 but for what you get its worth it.

I would dare say that would be the path we would go down. A new core would be the way to go I guess.
