Hi looking to get more power from my 20det.

I know that its proberly been cover befor.

Anyways my car atm is running

3" mandral from turbo back

Hybrid fmic

Stock ECU (have a mines ecu in garage for it)

Stock fuel pump (getting upgraded to to walbro in tank unit)

Stock turbo

I only looking to make around the 180-200kw atw. As its my family car.

What would be a good resonable turbo upgrade? Have around 600 to spend on turbo

i was thinking a series 2 25 turbo??

some sort of t3/4 hybrid

Was also thinking of a high mount set up??

Any help would be great.

No point going high mount, use your standard manifold with a S2 RB25 turbo + elbow. You can retain all your current lines, dump/exhaust and intercooler piping etc as its straight bolt on

Get the fuel pump in and get the ECU remaped

You should see 180rwkw + but that won't get you to 200rwkw

Its been done a million times

If I was going for a responsive 200rwkw I would go with a HKS2510 or maybe even a HKS2530, even an RB25 high flow but not too huge - all those will blow your budget of $600

for $600 an rb25 turbo is within your budget and power levels

its a close fit, and requires very little work to make it fit and work

good response and more average power, dont bother with an ebay t3/t4

they're junk, laggy, old school technology and require extra work to make it fit

should i also look at injector upgrade to like gtr ones??

Nahh no need.. i did the same thing with the RB25 turbo.. You'll just need a fuel pump lke a Bosch 040 or 044 then put in the ECU and its 180-190KW

My setup is almost complete just need to get the exhaust fitted and get the re-map done from CEF11E

hows the engine running with the rb25 turbo untuned?

it depends on the boost your running. stock rb25 boost and it'll be fine, but wont feel any different to the stock 32 turbo. when i put one on my 32 i wound it up to 13psi and found it was slightly leaning out top end.

    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
    • Cut sump up and extend. Win win 😂 
    • All, What's the recommended torque for the 1/2 head studs for RB30 twin cam conversion with RB26 head?
