Mr Rb20 Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 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 ??

T0nyGTSt Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 A 'cheap' option with good results is the standard RB25DET turbo. Fits right in (pretty much). All that other fuel related shite is some while down the track IMO. T.

meggala Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 if your going the hiflow it will make more power than the vg 30 turbo 1 bar on either wshould be ok but I would upgrade the fuel pump and get the car dynoed asap after fitting the turbo b4 you give it big boost cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16806-vg30high-flow-turbo-upgrade-what-other-upgrades-required-fuel-system-etc/#findComment-347596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32-GTS Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 hi-flow the stock rb20 turbo. much much better than a vg30 or rb25det turbo and it bolts straight back on. after 280rwhp though i would be changing the injectors and afm.

Cubes Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 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.

S13 Silvia Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 What are the results like for a stock rb20 turbo hi-flowed? in terms of spool up time, max boost etc. Most people seem to go for the VG30DET or RB25 turbo's.

Cubes Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 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.
