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.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
