hey just got a high mount manifold and got 700cc injectors and

power fc and full 3in just trying to work out what turbo i should use

have been thinking of a gt30r with .63 rear housing but wat are ur appinions.

i dont want it to be to laggy but still want it to hi boost hard

sorta a street car and drift pig i'm going for

just let me know what u all think

thanks blocka

Well laggy +GT30 frame + RB20 = laggy no matter what you do mate. Thats how it is.

If you want it to hit boost hard, i suggest a older T3 bush bearing hi-flow. probably the best turbo to be....

It goes like this... nothing... nothing... nothing... HIT HARD BOOST VTEC yO!

However, if you want a decent setup that is responsive, makes the RB20 look like a reasonable motor etc

HKS 2530 is the winner of the battle, 220rwkw with as much of a 'broad' range as you'll get. Anything bigger and your not going to see anything before 4000rpm

Thats just my thoughts anyhow. Im a response setup person

+1 on the HKS 2530 setup.

If you want something a little different and you are willing to adapt, anything like a 2860RS, 2871R etc will do. Just need to adapt to the manifold and dump etc. Same as if you were going for the 30R.

With the right head setup, a 30R with a .6 rear will see 1 bar before 4500. There are a few better options for better response in that range though. External gated 3076R or 3071R, these are more responsive than the 30R due to the smaller turbine wheel but still retain a good sized compressor for overall hp.

lol

whats funny?

do you think the calibration on a dyno will always be accurate?

on my tacho on the street it was showing me i was making full boost just befor 4k, dyno showed it to be just after 4200 and the rev limit went to 7800 where the ecu was set to 7200.

3071 or 3076 with .63 rear externally gated sounds pretty good or wat about a 3037 with a .63 or .7 rear and a .6 front

i know that with the rb20 i wont get to much so i will eventually do a 25/30 combo but that wont happen for about a year

so how much would i be looking at and where can i get one

I had a GT30 0.63 sitting there for my 20.

Sold it and purchased a Trust TD06L2.

The guy who purchased the GT30 put it on a 20, made 240rwkw on 20psi.

I make 277rwkw on 18psi with heaps left in the thing.

that doesn't sound right for a GT3076R.

you must've had the smaller version GT3071R (with smaller/cropped turbine wheel) or the tune was bad.

It was not a 3076 or 71, it was the 3082, and I never used it.

The guy who bought it reckons his ecu he was using could not handle it......(strange for an aftermarket ecu :D, you are correct that something was holding it back however; my finger points at tune)

there are only two opitions in my mind for a rb20

1. 2530 GTRS

2. TD06LS

both excellent response with great power

if u want to do 25/30 save your money and do it properly stick with the stock turbo till u build it

go the HKS 2530 i got a t04 on mine and is laggy as all hell

L2 is gods gift to RB20... end of story.

Just so people dont get carried away with expectation....there is nothing excellent about the response of a TD06 or GT-RS on an RB20. The 2530 is marginally better through the lower rpm range but loses out big time up top.

So, I agree with the saving money for the 25/30, if you are not going to be happy with puinchy 200rwkws or laggier 250rwks odd and will end up going 30...then just save your coin.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
