[chalky]

Hey Guys! Need some help hear!!!

Can any1 plz fill me in with some info on Turbo kits for a low mount turbo rb20 or what type of turbos will bolt direct onto the standard maniflod???

Best & Cheap are not the same.

The cheaper one is, the nastier.

Therefore - define "cheap", ie, what is the budget limit? What are the power goals?

[chalky]

What im looking for is a turbo that will give my car a bit more bite? Its only a daily driver and just want something thats guna put out a decent amount of power for roughly about 1000 buks that will bolt direct onto standard manifold?

RB25 turbo - $400, 180-190rwkw

beat me to it

yeh i purchased the car with an rb25 turbo on it. Looking towards something that will put out a bit more KW, looking at around 250 +

I have Aftermarket intercooler, BOV, POD, 3inch Dump and 3inch exhaust. Timing Advanced,

Have Nitros ready to be installed which atm is a 150hp wet system.

Also have an Apexi Fc on order..

do some research buddy - there is a wealth of into in the forced induction section

but remember on top of the cost of the turbo and installation, to factor in a fuel system that will allow you to run 250kw (injectors, pump etc), then clutch/braking also into your budget, and tuning time

and with your nos make sure u dont blow the welds on the intake

yeh probly will do the turbo install myself.. fuel system is after the ECU. Also the car is running an auto transmission.

Will probly need to beef that up a bit??? no of anywhere in VIC that will streghten it up??

Yes in worried that my floor will fall out with the NOS also

[astrotristan]

i cant see you hitting 250kw safely with the stock rb20 fuel system, regardless of the tune - do some reading, call some mechanics

and im qld so no i dont hahaha sorryy

I think you'll be struggling to get a turbo for that power level on your budget. You might pick up something 2nd hand if you're lucky. Maybe do a bit of research to find the turbo you need then check out yahoo japan auctions for a good deal? Check out the RB20 turbo upgrade thread sticked at the top of the forced induction page. That will give you some ideas of what you need to make what power.

As for your auto, MV autos in adelaide can provide the bits to make your box handle that power and there should be someone in victoria who could fit them for you.

He's got enough NOS there to blow himself up period.

[chalky]

2 different mechanics have told me that my engine will be able to handle 100-150 hp shot off NOS. Anything else and i will be pushiung my luck.

250rwkw for $1000?

No.

You'll be spending upwards of $1500 at the least. The TD06-20G kit is arguably the "kit of choice", that is manifold, turbo and extrenal gate however.

IMO stock manifold, 250rwkw+ is not going to happen with a budget like that.

Considering...

1. You don't have the ECU to support (why its even running a RB25 turbo without a tune is weird...)

2. You do not have the fuel system to support

3. You do not have the drivetrain to support

I think you are a fair way off 250rwkw+

To the song of around $4000 short, BEFORE you even buy the turbo.

You need to support BEFORE - Not after. Putting a massive turbo on without using it is pointless, get the car ready, then do the turbo. You have the order backwards mate

i was actually thinking of upgrading my turbo also.

i dont have many mods just fmic and cat back exhaust i wish to buy a stronger turbo that can handle 11 to 13 psi safely without damaging it

roughly how much would i have to spend ?

RB25 turbo - $400, 180-190rwkw

However - like ALL UPGRADES - you need a ECU/Tune. Simply pointless without it

NS.com types are gradually creeping into SAU.

Fuel pump at the very least buddy.

the only turbo in your price range is a KKR or equivalent and many rb20's with supporting mods only make 210-220kw with alot of boost with these turbos.

Trust is the choice of winners....its a shame about the 6k price tag that comes with it....
