Im at the point where i want to upgrade my turbo and considering the success had with the gcg highflow turbo thats the way i want to go. Ive read the threads on rb25 turbo upgrade but just want to ask a few questions.

Basically what other mods do i need to do to get the full potential of the turbo?

So far i have:

Pod Filter

Turbo Back Exhaust

Blitz Dual SBC Spec S

Power FC

+ the usual suspension, brakes, clutch mods that have been done.

From what ive seen this turbo is good for 250rwkw to 270rwkw?So i just want to get the right parts for this power output..

I plan on getting:

Hybrid FMIC (600x300x76)

Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

Things im not sure about are:

Injectors, what brand, size, etc?

Z32 AFM is it needed?

Thats pretty much it i think, im just after your opinions and suggestions

Cheers

if you want just ~210 odd rwkw you should be fine with the stock injectors and afm. otherwise, the mods you've listed are more than suitable.

if you want more, some 550cc injectors will help and maybe consider a FMIC that flows a bit better, if you are spending 2k on a turbo to make the power, dont just spend $450 on a full intercooler kit. Get one of the Blitz/Trust intercooler kits.

Your on the right track there mate to get the full potential.

- injectors, JDM manual S15 480cc are probably your cheepest option but may be hard to come by. Nismo ones from www.nengun.com are a direct fit 555cc will be plenty big enough and easier to tune than the 740cc's

- I highly recomend the Z32 AFM for a smoother tune

- cams will help also the tomei poncams are proven performers you can get them from www.nengun.com.

- I think the hybrid or copy cooler will be plenty good enough

With the above mods 250rwkw is achievible maybe more but its better to aim lower with your expetations.

Also do a search for threads by sydneykid and gcg highflow

cheers

Thanks for the help guys i appreciate it..

Well im pretty much sold on the hybrid cooler just for the price and opinion of others who have them.

Also i didnt realise the bosch 044 can be mounted in-tank so im now going that route.

As for injectors ill go with 550/555 (depending on brand) just looking around for the cheapest price/good brand, etc.

Z32 sounds the way to go..

But as far as turbo choice, im stuck between the gcg highflow (450hp) or a GT30 which is internally gated and has a rear housing to suit the rb25. These are both the same price but the catch is the gt30 needs oil and water lines to be changed around. Anyone have a suggestion here?

Cheers

All depends on what u want...

A mate may be able to help you on here, he made 330rwhp with stock injectors and is getting a proper tune soon! Gcg hi-flows are good on rb20s and awsome on rb25s

You can always go a vg30 exhaust housing if u was searchin for more lag/power down the road with the turbo too! Lots of options

    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
    • I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
    • A CigWeld EasyWeld 130 can be had from ebay for $360 delivered. Good for 0.6 to 6mm, which would be fine for my requirements. I guess that on top of that you would need to buy a regulator, hoses and wire. I already have gloves and an auto-darkening mask. How is the gas bottle charged? Do you rent it then pay for top ups?
    • RB20 being an option from factory would mean no custom parts or fabrication required, just have to collect the right bits. Probably would be the easiest option I reckon for a motor swap. How common are SR20s vs RBs in Turkey?
