ugh. what a morning. bottomed out hard. smashed my intercooler mounts. bent my castor brackets. probably f**ked my exhaust. rails look alright.

probably take it down to a chassis joint on tuesday to make sure everything else is fine, then start replacing the bent bits.

WTF?!?!? What happened Dave!?!?

hmmmm so dale has kindly done some research on this turbs i have

sittin here...

Seems its a TD06-17c.

which will apparently be capable of 17ish psi by 3700ish rpm,.....

kinda got my juices flowing!!

not sure what to do now, VG30 or TD06?

100 bucks difference in the 2, i know the VG is in good nic as it will be comin from jeff @ speedlab....

never seen this turbs on a 20 before so makes my decision a little harder

TDO6-17C = yes. i had one that i was going to use but i decided to go silly

HKS 25/30 is equal if not the better jap turbo :) (contradicting myself cos clearly its a garrett after all)

VG = laggy as f**k

RB25 turbo = laggy, but not as laggy as a VG

if you're goin to buy new, i can only give a bit of advice that dale gave me, and either go with a GT2871 or my choice the 3071 :)

If the TD06 can pull up 17psi by 3700rpm on a 20 I would go that personally. I was trying to minimise lag on an already laggy motor so I chose the HKS 2530 - it's the undisputed turbo of turbos for an RB20 haha.

Good luck with it, interested to see how it goes.

Edit: Never driven one, but I've heard the VG30 turbo is rather laggy on the 20.

damnit, should have read my second quoted post BEFORE writing all that haha

ugh. dont ask dude.

So want to ask hey :)

Anyway I'm slowly becoming more and more sober so yeah I'll just say that driving home from mannum and texting your girlfriend whislt tyring to decide which of the 2 centre lines your going to try and follow is not the greatest of ideas but I made it home and have just smashed through a maccas bacon and egg roll and am now going to bed :)

The HKS 2530 is almost the same turbo as the Garrett GT2860RS (Disco-Potato) with the only difference being a slightly bigger inducer on the compressor (0.5mm) on the HKS version. And considdering the you can pick up the dancing spud for around the $1300 mark it (i'd hate to know what the retail is on the HSK item?) would be the way i'd be going if tossing up between the two. I don't know if you can find a T3 flange for the 2860 though.

The TD is a lot bigger turbo than the 2530 though, it's even bigger than a 2871R and ever so smaller than the 3071R.

Does anyone have the wheel specs for the standard R33 turbo?

And just to make the decission making process harder, here's another turbo that is spec'd inbetween the GT2860RS and the GT2871R, A HKS GT2535; Bit more Exxy though;

I was going to buy a HKS 2530 brand new, while the retail isnt cheap they perform better than a "Garret rebuilt" 2530. The fin design is different so the genuine HKS ones spool faster. One of my friends got me an AWESOME price on a brand newy - about $400 more than a brand new 2871 - note the kit from a reputable dealer is $2999. But then I found a genuine 2530 with only 2000kms on it since brand new, fitted/tuned by trusted workshops/tuners here in Adelaide for less than a brand new 2871.

Garrett make the HKS CHRA's, the difference is that HKS clip some of the Garrett wheels and HKS make their own housings.

Ask discopotato03 one here for the details as he knows his HKS/Garrett stuff backwards.

your not going to like what i'm going to say but; you can actually do it yourself. They are a very basic turbo in terms of their bearing/core design.

The main thing is to make sure that you index all the compressor side parts that you take off so you can make sure that you put them back together exactally the same so you don;t then have to re-balance the assembly.

hmmm, ill give it a shot. if the kit gets here by friday, ill have 2 weekends to do it before

the rb20 goes in...

actually looking forowrd to gettin my hands dirty and doin some shit myself on this build, makes it more pleasing.

starting on ripping the 30 out today, perfect weather for it! :)

Ok Cheers, will give him a yell.

I dont know 100%, but I think:

RB20 Turbo = .46

RB25 Turbo = .58

RB25NEO/VG30 Turbo = .63

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
