i want to upgrade from my stock turbo, and my budget wont alow me to go all out at this point in time, so im thinking of hiflowing the stock rb20 turbo. i was thinking of throwing on a 33 turbo, but i think a hi flow 32 turbo would be more fun. anyone running a hiflow 32 turbo with any advice/ dyno graphs? cheers adam

hiflowing will set you back $1500~?

You can pick up a HKS2530 turbo for that price which will make 230kw atw w/ supporting mods.

The hiflow rb20 turbo would probably just hit 200kw atw i reckon

doesnt hypergear do rb20 hi flows for around $800?

would there be much difference in power/ response between hiflow 32 and stock s2 33 turb?

ah $800 ey not bad. Although a rb25 turbo sells for around $200~

for $800 you can import a hks2530 from japan

When i was looking back at getting a hiflow rb20 (at one point I had one but didnt fit on car) I was told it could make 210kw atw, whereas a rb25 turbo on a rb20 would make around 180-190kw but I couldnt find any evidence to back up the rb20 hiflow results.

I guess ask hypergear themselves how much power it can make and if its larger than a rb25 or is it smaller?

Let us know what you decide on.

$800 is bush bearing, not ball bearing.

Ball would be around $1500.

RB20's benefit the most from decent turbos - So if you are really dead set... spend as much there as possible, get a HKS2530 if you want the best suited

thats what im trying to find out. there is plenty of dyno results on the rb20 upgrade sticky about rb25 turb, but almost nothing on rb20 hiflow. i know it will be a few hundred $$ cheaper to get a 33 turb, but it will be a second hand turbo, quite possibly ready to f**k out on me. im not really after any specific number of rwkw, just a nice basic upgrade. i would imagine tho that 180-190 would be a realistic target, but a good tune is more important to me. i will let you know rekin. cheers adam

are 2530's BB? what hp are they rated to? are they a direct bolt-on to rb20 manifold? thanks nismoid

220-240 rwkw seems to be about the ball park for one, depends on supporting mods tho. Will bolt on to the RB manifold so long its a T3 flanged one.

personally i'd go a HKS GTRS over a 2530 but they are a little more exxy again

gtrs would be great, but the car is 17 years old. i dont want a track beast, i dont want some wank-off dyno number, ive spent the money on supporting mods, now i want a very basic turb upgrade.

The hks2530 is ball bearing, not sure on power rating. Will direct bolt on manifold, dump pipe another story...

HKS2530 came out in 2 models. Series 1 and Series 2.

Series 1;

- Has a unique flange and needs the matching HKS cast dump pipe to be able to fit onto car

- Has more fins on wheel

- No split between wheel/wasteage

Series 2;

- Has a T3 flange which direct bolts to rb20 dump pipe

- Has 9 fins on wheel which has been redesigned to be more responsive

- Has a split between wheel and wastegate as opposed to the series 1 hks2530

Im running Hi flowed Rb20 turbo, getting 222kw with 104 octane fuel (which cost an arm and a leg)

with

444inj

040 pump

jjr coil packs

3'' front dump

fmic

apexi ecu and boost control

z32 afm

Im looking at putting something else on so I can get 230-240kws

dont know what these would be like

how much does the 2530 go for brand new, compared to the GTRS.

is the GTRS also a direct bolt on like the 2530?

thanks.

what sort of boost do u run? how much was the hiflow if u dont mind me asking?

thanks.

2530 kit will cost u around 3k (imported, plus shipping) brand new, or more if u buy locally , i got quoted 3.5k from a HKS dealer in perth

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
