IF you want performance, dont go near the 1970's design T04/T03 or any other hybrid

there are FAR better options on the market.

RB25 turbo is probably the best (and cheapest) upgrade.

Please search, this has been covered extensively.

And read here:

now now paul... thats a bit negitive....

a mate of mine put an Ebay T04e on his rb20det, but had some supporting mods, such as 3" turbo back exhaust, front mounted intercooler, puel pump, etc running 15psi i think it was

it was very good .. in that the power was good.. however lagg was a big problem.. turbo wouldnt be in action til approx 4400rpm +

which kinda sucked

it was like ... lag lag lag lag BANG!

depends what your after really

-Ruffels

well I am planning the basics like:

- Turbo back exhaust with hi-flow cat

- FMIC

- Fuel pump

my situation is that my turbo is on its very last legs and sqeeling like a pig. I need a new turbo but I dont want a normal RB20 one but im also on a budget.

if it is a garrett t04e then pending price it may be a good deal.

is it interal gate? or external gate?

as stated above if the car is stock putting a turbo of that size on ur car is extremmely pointless, thou if you buy the turbo and then buy all the supporting mods it would be ok

to run the turbo you would need a bare min of

:intercooler (larger than stock size - FMIC)

:turbo back exhuast (3 1/2inch or bigger)

:Aftermarket ecu (pfc etc)

:Larger injectors (size depending on final power goal)

:Larger AFM (z32)

:Air-filter

:larger fuel pump

now that is just the engine side, of course you would need to upgrade ur clutch, suspension, tyre size etc etc

cheers michael :(

even at $400 it is pointless and will just be extra laggy for no gain.

you only have a budget to suit 250hp so whats the point of using a 500hp turbocharger. get a second hand rb25 turbocharger for $400 and it will be heaps better and more usable. youll have more average power too, making the car faster overall. i would also recommend a remap

how much roughly is a remap, injectors (probably used) and a AFM (used too)?

thanks paulr33....I see wat your saying. The turbo is actually $350....but i see overal wat you are saying.

Anyone selling a R33 turbo in good nick for $350?

check the for sale section, there is usually 1 or 2 2nd hand rb25 turbochargers for sale. you wont need injectors + airflow meter for 250hp which is a realistic budget based on your budget. a remap will cost you around the $400 mark. the car should drive significantly better with an rb25 turbo, boost controller and remap

Thats a KKR480... well it looks like one and has the same specs from me reading it :P

How on earth, without a link to the ebay item, and from the posts in this thread...

Have you come to think its a KKR turbo we are talking about here?

I dont get it.

Anyway, a 500hp turbo on RB20, as stated pointless.

Especially if you dont plan on injectors, ECU etc etc

Your best bet is an RB25 turbo, or then upgrading to a HKS 2510 or similar.

In short, stay away from ebay. Its more hassle than gain in many case

i have a similar question, i have an RB20, with full 3inch turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Fuel pump, ECU running on MAP sensor (no AFM).

i have been offered a stainless steel mainfold and brand new ( he has receipt) T04E/T3 with .67 AR.

how would this go on my motor? or should i just grab the mainfold and get a RB25 turbo too?

well that depends on what mods you have, when you expect boost to come on and if you care about reliability or not

there are several warnings, over and over about cheap ebay turbo's.

if you choose to ignore them and still thing its good cos its cheap go for it. but you've certainly been warned

    • I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump
    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
