Turbo Flanges

[cattivo_69]

Hi guyz

Can anyone tell me wat a vband flange is?

i have an rb20 with standard turbo on it. Now if i was 2 upgrade 2 say t4 like the pic below, will my dump-pipe bolt up to this?

by dump-pipe by memory has 5 bolts which bolts to my turbo. This turbo looks a little different? is it just a matter of taking that vband flage off? i dont have a clue....

if any1 knows let me kno

thanks

The v-band is a type of clamp. As you can see, there is no bolts on the rear housing.

So rather than having 5 bolts, there is a big metal strap.

It hooks in just near the rear housing edge, is an indentation that the v-band goes around/sits in.

Its similar to a hose clamp really, just for rears

V-bands are easier to get on/off. But you'll need a new dump made up to suit it.

And just FYI - a T4 of most types on an RB20 = the pits

u will need another v band flange and clamp, that turbo you can not remove that v band so you will have to have a custom dump made with appropriate fittings.

here is a link for them from USA

How much power are you looking for?

I achieved just under 200 rwkw with a S1 R33 turbo.

Very easy to install as they have the same flanges and connections

as your RB20 turbo.

Goes in order of power

RB25 turbo

HKS 2530

HKS 2535

That way you keep brilliant midrange

Lol...thats my line...

I suggest a t51r spl...

But seriously...look at a sliding performance highflow or similar or hks 2530/2535 like nismoid said...

T88 ftw

there is a guy in town with one of them on a rb20. makes 12psi at 4800rpm, redlines at 7200, so he has 2400rpm of usable power. made 288rwhp (214kw). sounds like complete arse untill it comes on boost.

You're shitting me right? a t88 on a rb20 and it makes 12psi by 4800?!

[mad082]

pretty sure it is a t88. all i know is it is stupidly huge. it might be 5800rpm that it makes boost.
