Hello

I have a RB25 on my RB20 but I am saving for a stronger turbo that will allow me to boost more and get more hp. What turbo would be good to get for this? I dont have 2000 dollars to spend on a turbo. What can I get for 1000 dollars? My goal is 300-350 hp. I will do the fuel pump, injector and computer upgrade later

Help

You are better off doing the ECU,full exhaust and fuel pump now before you go to a bigger turbo.

But if you want to be disappointed that your new bigger turbo is not making power because you are hitting R&R or running out of fuel then go right ahead.

I have an RB25 with a high flow, at around 300hp i am maxing out the standard ecu, fuel pump and injectors, from what i know the RB20 injectors and fuel pump are smaller than the RB25 so i cant see you making 300 - 350 on your standard items.

There are 2 gaurentee's in modifying cars:

1) Power costs money.

2) You get what you pay for.

You have to spend the money and lay the ground work before you can step up, if you dont have an exhaust with full 3" turbo back including cat and dump pipe then that should be your first upgrade and will give you more power just there, pod/panel filter is also a must, then try upping the boost, after that ecu, injectors and fuel pump are next on your shopping list.

But if you insist on just going a bigger turbo then the easiest and probably best bang for buck would be an RB25 high flow.

Spend $200 and install nistune in your ecu.

Upgrade fuel pump, around $300

GTR Injectors $600

Find a second hand Turbo that will make the power u want

U could maybe do it all for 2K expecially if you find a bolt on turbo

Nistune/remap good option, nice flowing exhaust and FMIC.

Bosch 040/023 fuel pump for $180 delivered

You'd be mad to pay $600 for GTR injectors, you can get brand new (with warranty) 550's for that.

As mentioned many times: cheap, reliable, fast pick 2 of the three :P

Agree with all, except GTR injectors can be had for as low as $200(if your patient), but don't forget resistor pack ~$50 or make one for about $20.

You will have to budget for a tune, unless you confident in doing yourself.

While the RB25 turbo will run on the RB20 quite happily, it will have a lot more potential to be unlocked by a good tune

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
