Turbo Upgrades To Rb25

[-SKYLINE-]

Its that time again!!! Turbo has shat it self............. so im looking at doing a decent upgrade. Im not to sure what i should be going for and i was looking for feed back/advice on what other people are running and what power figures they are getting. Currently im running stock turbo and i use the car for drift.

Any help appreciated!!!

The slide turbo's appear to offer a cheap excellent value upgrade.

I couldn't bring myself to spending 2k on a GCG highflow for only 250rwkw odd. Spend another couple hundred and throw a tidy little GT3076r 500hp turbo on the side of it, thicker headgasket, 20-22odd pounds of boost and you'll have a damn good attempt at cracking 300rwkw.

Shaun at Boostworx doesn't have issues having the rb25's holding together at such power levels/boost so it may be worth speaking to him to see what he recommends with regards to your spool expectations etc.

depending on what horsepower you want, when you want it to hit full boost, what mods you have done to your engine already

determine what turbo you should choose, i suggest you see an expert.

cause you dont want to waste all your money on something thats not going to suit your aplication

thats just what i think

I got my GT3076R turbo recently from ATS (Adelaide Turbo Services) and its going extremely well. Havent had a single issue yet and it looks extremly tidy and has stock appearance. Of course for now I have gone the option of using a Rb25 stock exhaust housing for the turbo but once I decide to get more power and redo the dump I'll get a different one put on. @ the moment looking for ~240kw or so before my engine shits itself then I'll have my own crack at 300kw with a different setup on the same turbo.

HKS GT-RS / GT2835proS will be my pick for RB25

around 275rwkw

good all round performance

Paul, did you end up having the std compressor housing machined up to suit or did Bill simply use the gt30 comp cover and run a silicon elbow to the ic piping?

[Pauly33GTS-t]

machined cubes. it was sent away somewhere and machined. thats why it took a few days longer than he expected because the guy that did the work for him took a while to do it.

3040 or 3540 hmmmm
