Hi everyone,

I'm in the middle of doing a rebuild on my rb26, and I'm starting to think about new turbos so I don't destroy all my good work with the shitty ceramic ones that are on it at the moment. I'm looking at........

..HKS 2530's, Garrett 2860's -7's and -5's, and GTR R34 N1's. It appears that the -5's and the 2530's are identical....ish, and that the GTR R34's and the -7's are also the same, and that there is very little difference between them all, except that the first lot output more power.

I was just wondering with all these turbo setups, do they bolt straight on to my existing setup (R32 GTR with 3 inch turbo back exhaust)? Or do I have to get dump pipes/different manifold? Also, what about tuning, do I have to get a power fc and tune it straight away, or is it fairly safe to run these setups just bolted on, and with the standard ecu tune, until I can afford power fc and tune?

Thanks in advance!!!!

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
