Yeah I think they may have stopped selling them new. Might be a bit out of your price range but if you want the response I think Hypergear also do a ball bearing highflow, bigger than the HKS2530 for more power and only a little less responsive.

I ended up buying the Justjap type camgears. I have heard bad things about the HKS ones as they are only held by 3 bolts but I think some of the other brands such as OSGiken are pretty good. Realistically they won't make any difference and I would imagine even the worst would have lives longer than most current RB20DET's will live unless you have had a rebuild recently. Some people do say to replace the bolts on the Just Jap ones as that is the first thing that will let go.

HKS cams or cam gears ?? not worth doing cam gears on std cams i dont think HKS cams gona cost u about 550 each with the dollar the way it is

prob not necessary

im running hks 2530, hks 264 in and ex cams and the rest as you are above get 308 rwhp at 17-18 psi

cams moved the touque curve up a little something you prob dont need on an rb20 but holds peak power well but dont think they are a necessary... cam gear may increase mid range

the difference bewteen 220 rwkw and 230 rwkw is yes techincally diff but running it on road doubt you find it much diff other than numbers chasing

above sounds like a good proven solid quick package

yeah i am going for non ball bearing high flow turbo r33 from hyper gear - costing me $1125.00 inc postage..

will bolt that on.. then save up for the rest..

is there much benefit if i have the money when the time comes getting 800 or 900cc injectors over getting 440cc gtr injectors?? willl i notice much power difference once tuned if any?

No power difference unless you were to upgrade. You only need a big enough fuel system to keep mixtures at a certain Air/Fuel ratio. the GTR injectors are easily enough for what you need. I have heard of some people having problems idling with larger injectors, you can imagine that the bigger you go, you lose 'resolution' IE 1% of 440cc is 4.4cc, 1% of 900cc is 9cc so I think this is the reasoning behind it.

ok excellent.. thankyou for that.. sounds great.. ill post on here and let you guys know how i go...

please though, if anyone else has any comments or ideas which will help me out with the upgrades please comment on here.. all information helps me greatly

Replace fuel pump if stock asap (they're quite old now). Mine was going lean running stock turbo and made a world of difference just upgrading. Pretty cheap and easy DIY and it's not worth the risk of running lean.

ok.. but shouldnt i replace injectors same time i do fuel pump or doesnt matter??

can i upgrade to gtr injectors now without getting a tune?

thanks, ben

def do fuel pump, that is just a given

cant just run diff injectors with no tune run rich and kill things... u also have to run resistor pack with ur injectors as they are diff impedence etc

too easy.. thanks for that...

do injectors need to be professionally cleaned if i purchase second hand ones??

and wat about fuel pump?? all ok to just hook new one up?

thanks, ben

yeah thanks i was going to put a gtr fuel pump in it i had decided....

but almost seems worthwhile getting like a walbro or bosch 044 due to the amount they are being brand new?? and the fact i could buy a gtr one which could be a dudd... im thinking better off getting something new which will last long long time garunteed

ive been told there is no harm at all getting bigger fuel pump as it just means it can push through more than enough fuel needed but only sends through as much as injectors need?

thoughts on this..

Correct.

Forget about the 044, its too big. The 040 is what you want, its the closest thing to 'bolt in' and will do the job more than easily. Dont go a GTR fuel pump, its old and like you said new Bosch ones arent expensive. Steer clear of Walbro pumps.

Forget this idea you have about 900cc injectors. Bigger is not always better, you have to be smart about things. Go the 440s. If they come out a engine that its running perfectly, and if you dont let them sit around, there shouldnt be a need to clean them, but if you want piece of mind, go right ahead.

The comments about cam gears not doing anything on standard cams is complete bullshit. Cam gears make a huge difference to midrange and top end, more importantly power delivery. A gain of about 20kw depending on your turbo can be had in the midrange just with cam gears. No need to change bolts in GKTECH cam gears.

thanks for that mate... some very very useful information. im going to get highflow r33 turbo.. n will get fuel pump n hook both up at same time...

i have seen couple of power fc's for $1000 and i know getting nisstune will cost about $900 including tune...

any better getting power fc over nisstune at all?? information ive been getting is all contradicting..

or does it all not make too much as difference as long as someone can tune power fc that i get??

cheers

go a 2530, they are MADE for 2L engine, an RB25 highflow is an upgrade for a 2.5...... my 32 supposedly has a 2535 but it could be a 2530, way more than enough power for the street!

garret 2860=HKS2530

are u sure about that mate that highflow rb25 is only for 2.5??

contradicts what just about everyone on here has told me....

ive been told by hypergear rb25 and rb20 turbos are same shell just different internals so when u highflow them they are exact same

thanks

  • 1 month later...

Here's what i am doing.. i have finally got the money to do everything i want to do....

Now i have purchased walbro fuel pump new as i was told by local tuner they are the best to use with their tune - i am getting nisstune..

I have found a second hand highflow r33 turbo with 10000 k's on it.. looks like new.. one question. Is there any particular thing that confirms it is highflow just by looking at the pics? I cannot tell and have been told how to tell the difference to make sure i not getting ripped.

Also, I am going to buy gtr injectors and probably get cheap cam gear on ebay... will get the injectors cleaned and tested to be safe. Also going to get Z32 AFM and K & N Pod Filter to suit.

This should hopefully suit what i am looking for.. one other thing i am weighing up is splitfire coilpack... but alot of money when mine seem fine at the moment.. recommendations with this??

And this all up should see me getting what i am after at a fairly cheap price.. i have about $2500-$3000 to do all i want including tune which should see this out.. :angry:

Any other tips etc would be greatfully appreciated as i am going to be having this done over next couple of weeks

If you can post up a photo of its comp and turbine wheel then we should know if its been high flowed or not. But if you compare it to you stock turbo you would definitly notice the difference in wheels sizes.

    • This is lower price now given apparently nobody wants these or needs them. It's 550 but if someone sees it on SAU and wants to make an offer, please do so.
    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
