Straight Bolt On Turbos For Rb20det

[StOjA32]

Hey guys .. ive been buying bits and pieces to mod my car.. after speaking to my Mechanic he advised with what i want to do with my car that the ceramic wheels will not hold on the Stock turbo...aparently they dont like a little boost tweek.

i was looking for a straight bolt on .. what are my option? maybe soone would know a link where i could surf..

the mods ive prepared so far are:

3' zorst with dump pipe

k&n pod

fmic

front facing plenum

P.FC

better fuel pump (havnt got it yet)

looking into some good injectors too

1 tonner clutch

Your help is much appreciated

get an rb 25 turbo and high flow it.

very straight forward, not too expensive

^^^^good idea^^^ wat power you after man, id go a hks 2530.

[StOjA32]

what would a high flowed RB25 turbo be good for boost and power wise?

im guessing they arnt too expensive compared to other turbos.

when high flwoing used turbos .. does that increase its life span also?

forget the front facing plenum.

stock RB25 turbo on to an RB20 with about 13psi boost seems to be about 190rwkw with the rest of the mods you mentioned.

a highflow of that turbo (prices ranging from $1K to $2K) will give you about 240rwkw at just under 20psi.

after that, there aren't any direct bolt on turbo's and the mods get alot more expensive.

since you have a stock car, get a stock RB25 turbo, all your other goods, tuned and you'll be happy for a while.

That sounds like what im looking for 190rwkw...how come i should forget the front facing plenum?

All i gotta do is find the best place to buy an RB25 turbo

Front facing plenum is a waste of money at the powere levels you are talking about.

do a search for "Plenum" to find many threads on this.

I'm sure they are a usefull upgrade further down the track, but at the power levels under 250rwkw it is a waste of money.

also, there are no "OFF THE SHELF" rb20 FFP's available.

I think PlazmaMan makes some.

pretty expensive though.

[StOjA32]

but if i already have a FFP surely theres no harm in using it... it will reduce my cooler piping and bends. its still benificial i say.

if you say so

Your wasting your time with the front facing plenum in my opinion as well

Max you will get from an RB25 turbo is 190rwkw and front facing plenum isn't worth the trouble as more than likely you won't see any gains

[TTT]

I'd sell it, use the money for much more useful mods..

suspension, tyres and braking seem to be missing from your list.

My r32

With a rb25 turbo @ 14 psi i made 197rwkw

With TD06 20g 8cm i now make 250rwkw

Both were straight bolt on but the td06 needed a new dump.
