R33 turbo has larger housings, so its usually rated at stage 2 500hp instead of the lower stage 1 highflow that is rated at 450hp.

If your going to get a highflow make sure you use an RB25 turbo. (identifiable from the 45v2/45v3 etc on the compressor cover, RB20 turbo are stamped 16V)

the rb20 turbo is smaller. generally a non-highflowed rb25 turbo is an upgrade on a rb20, so a highflowed rb20 turbo would probably be just a touch bigger than a stock rb25 turbo. and a highflowed rb25 turbo would be bigger again. if it is going onto a 25, don't bother with the rb20 turbo.

i have an rb20 with a high flowed rb20 turbo done by GCG in it and some extra mods and my mate has the same mods on a rb20 but a rb25 turbo high flowed ad there is a little difference but not much but mine is less laggy. he has driven both and wishes that he had of high flowed an rb20 turbo instead like i did.

As far as I know the RB20, RB25and RB25 Neo GCG Ball Bearing high flows all use the same cores, compressors and turbines. The RB20 and RB25 turbine covers are the same, the RB25 Neo turbine cover is slightly larger. The RB20, RB25and RB25 Neo compressor covers are all machined to suite the same compressor. So it is my understanding that they all flow the same.

then why is the rb25 turbo a common upgrade for a rb20?

The standard compressor and turbine are larger on the RB25 than the RB20.

The standard RB25 turbo flows the same at 5 psi as the RB20 turbo flows at 10 psi.

Stick the RB20 wastegate actuator (10 psi) on the RB25 turbo and you have a worthwhile upgrade.

But that has nothing to do with the GCG ball bearing high flow compressor and turbine.

:D cheers :D

      Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!

      Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.

      Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
