Best info would be to search. Youll find that 99% of the people will say Boostworks or Tilbrooks. regularly? well 5000k's of course, and the major at 100,000k's. If you want to make connections, make it out to as many SAU events as you can!

Yup as stated a search and you will find that most people will say Boostworx or Tilbrooks, but as there is another thread saying Tilbrooks are closing, that only leaves Boostworx.......

Also for parts you can see the twit above(ISC)......lol or head down to Japanese Motorsport or Jap Import Spares!!

i have to say jeff at the speed lab is awsome!! been to shaun once and he is great also!

my 2c!

depending on where you are, i'd also recommend Road & Track in Enfield. Details are in my sig :thumbsup:

Does anyone rate Car Toys for upgrades or people reckon they charge you too hard?

boostworx took 13 months to put together my mates GTR, then it shat itself first week for them to only take another 3 months to fix that, and then try and charge him, saying it wasnt a warranty issue, when they built the motor. i used to go to tilbrooks, now i am thinking JMS cause ive heard brady is there????????? true or not?>

yes Brady is there

um yeah as per statements above my vote is for Boostworx

pitty boostworx is a bit of a drive for some people..... *cough* Northen suburbs...

ive heard good things about fours and more thats if you are from up north.

my 2c? never sent my car off to have performance upgrades done to it...... not yet anyway!

Boostworx +9999999. They have a very good reputation around Adelaide. Shaun and Troy do some awesome work and really know their stuff.

rb24det, I've never heard of a workshop taking 13 months to rebuild a RB26? What was the reason? A delay in parts? They rebuilt + blueprinted my mates VR4 and that only took 2 or 3 weeks.

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
