we used a rb25 turbo on an rb20 and it was making 271rwhp on 17psi

so there is nothing wrong with using a 25 turbo iether just personal preferance and budget..

Rb20

VG30

FMIC

Fuel Pump

Exhaust

198rwkw @ 15psi

Did 1 run on 17psi and was going past 208rwkw when it ran out of fuel and was backed off, probably didnt have much more than 210rwkw.

Hey bro

Yep i am going to be getting it tuned in perth.. i just got a yellow sticker so just been busy trying to get that off.. but after that the plan is to buy some r32 gtr injectors, and then give it to all star garage and get them to install a nistune chip and then get them to tune it.

Thanks niran

guys i need some info asap how do you tell the difference in the

Ballbearing vg30 t3 turbo

and the

Jurnal bearing vg30 t3 turbo

need info a.s.a.p?????????????????????????????????????????????

Hey man

I think it goes by the versions.. There was another thread where i asked the same question as you did and its somewhere on skyaus most likely on forced induction.. Besides that if you already have the turbo you could go to a jap shop and ask them too

i recently got a vg30 turbo to bolt onto my rb20, i have a few questions though, how do i find out if its ceramic or steele? it sais 45v2 on it.

Also, im putting the rb20 actuator on the vg30 turbs, will it hold 15psi or will i need an external wastegate?

      I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears.

      Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P

      Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information
