Rb20 In Bmw

obviously the turbo is the same as a garret then since MTQ use a T28 rebuild kit for them.

They are not the same...its has already been documented...first of all...its years older than the standard t28s we get on the sr20s...secondly...just because a t28 rebuild kit can be used does not mean its a t28...

as has been stated runnign more boost through the rb25 turbo is fine because its not working as hard on the rb20. the clutch is an exedy heavy duty.

also does anyone actually have facts or proof of 15psi beign a problem? the only proof i have so far is that my mates has been runnign 15psi all day everyday for the last 60,000km putting out 180kw at the rears with less mods. No noises coming from the turbo at all and it was checked for play a month or so ago when the engine bay was stripped and wire tucked.

on another note whats a good size/ brand of injectors?

It has been well documented too that 15psi on a rb25 turbo is a bad idea...even on a rb20...it will still be shortening the life of the turbo...if it runs 15psi but only reaches max boost during the occasional squirt then it might be ok...but hold it on full boost for a few laps on a track and see what happens...

My dream is to do a 1js in to a E36 bm

who cares if it blows anyway..

it's $350 to get a second hand RB25 turbo.

even less for an RB20 turbo

[rb20bmw]

the car wont be doing track work as yet i gotta get a new rear end strengthened and suspension fine tuned before i waste my time at a track this turbo will only be on till around december/january if all goes to plan with a aftermarket ecu.

who can recommend a good aftermarket exhaust manifold and is top or low mount a better option?

[Adriano]

low mount hks or trust cast manifold FTW

[rb20bmw]

the other question is do most low mounts keep the turbo in the exact same position as a standard manifold so i wont have to redo the exhaust and dump pipe and intake?

[limpus]

If you get the correct low mount turbo with the correct flange then everything else will bolt up...ie T3 flanged 2530/2535/2540/gt-rs and the like...
