Thanks alot everyone for all the responses. Have done abit more research and thanks to the help from you guys i have alot more to base my descion on and i am thinking towards the HKS 2535.

Just wondering... Is there a rule of thumb for injector sizes?

dont know if it is the same with rb20's but with 25's the cc is a rough guide to hp at the wheels, so 550cc should get 550hp at the wheels @ 100% duty, you really only want to see 80% duty tho so realistically 550cc should be good for a safe 440hp atw, the 300 your looking for you should go 350-400, i would suggest 450-500 tho as the power bug will bite you and they give you a bit of room to play with.

I believe gtr injectors are 440cc and with a balast resistor are a straight bolt in for rb20's, add an adjustable fuel pressure reg and they should be good for near on 500cc and should be cheap, depending on the price of the balast resistor.

A while back someone here , Lithium ? , made up a Hi Flow using a Garrett GT2871R (48 comp trim) cartridge in re profiled I think RB25 turbos housings . I think his was in an R33 GTS25T and from memory he said it was very smooth power wise with a bit more everywhere .

Something like this should be more than capable of making 300 hp on an RB20DET and it uses housings intended for an RB engine .

That was my setup.

Yes, it did everything I asked of it. 300rwhp @ 12psi and extremely tractable/streetable/responsive at low-middling engine rpm. The spec might have sounded a bit small, but the car covered ground pretty quickly without needing heaps of gear changes.

One issue I saw was boost falling at higher rpm, and power flattening at 6000rpm. I believe the RB25 turbine housing may have been the culprit, and considered swapping in a larger OP6 housing profiled for that cartridge.

Eventually it was bought by a guy who fitted it to an RB20, with pretty punchy results by all accounts.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
