VG30/High Flow Turbo Upgrade - what other upgrades required ?? fuel system etc


Recommended Posts

I am in the final stages of deciding whether to fit the VG30 or highflow the turbo on my RB20.

My question is what else needs to be done to make sure the set-up is reliable for a daily driver.

I intend on running 14psi on VG30 or 16psi on a high-flow.

I already have turbo back exhaust, Veilside chip, filter, front mount, BOV and electronic boost controller.

I plan on running and oil catch can.

I believe the injectors will handle it so my question revolves around the fuel pump.

Will i need to upgrade the fuel pump ?? What will fit ??

Will a GTR fuel pump (R32-R34) fit and will this be sufficient ??

Will i need to upgrade the surge tank as well ??

Would i need to run a Rising Fuel Regulator ??

Anything else i have missed ??

I've had a VG30BB turbo and you do loose a lot of response for the amount of power you 'don't get. It is a slight upgrade on the RB20DET Turbo but it is laggy.

I would go the highflow over the VG30.. You won't be that happy with it. I wasn't.

The standard RB20DET turbo's highflowed.. I havn't seen any go over 210rwkw. Generally they hover just under 200rwkw.

Generally still around the 4k full boost highflowed. Thats the only problem with the RB20DET. Lag.

    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!  
    • We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
