So My Turbo Is No Good For Rb30DET? i only need to get a few more things togeather to finish the build, also quick question are RB20Det red top lifters the same as RB25DET ones? just a question. mayb i start a build thread.

That turbo will be OK, but it is not the best turbo [its not even in the top 10] for the job. Don't buy a cheap turbo and expect ace performance, doesn't happen like that. But you will make decent power, just not the best or most efficient etc etc. Look at the RB30 results thread and see how many are using that turbo, SFA. Then look at the turbo's they are using and the power they are making.

It will be laggy, unresponsive and probably won't last for big miles. So when your travelling from Mildura to Adelaide or something it will let you down one day, one day!!!

Thank you tridentt for that info and thank you everyone else for your input. anyone wanna buy a really really really good turbo?? haha

I guess ill be looking for a 35/40 then. then my motor will be a 25/30 35/40

quick breif on motor.

Rb30 Fully forged and oversized bottom end, all acl pistons, rods, seals, gaskets, bearings, n1 oil pump, underdriven harmonic balencer, block was acid dipped bored 40thou over decked.

head is Rb25det s2 reco'd, ported n polished, stronger valves, springs,

std cams, and lifters.

power fc, 2x z32 afm, hi mount, 850cc or 880cc cant remember but there denso's.

think thats about it. what turbo size would i be looking at?

wanna go big power but dont want it toooo laggy.

I made over 400Kw's with a GT35, thinking of going bigger but... make it easier.... but i'm hesitant to increase lag...

As for seeing what you buy, 6Boost is the cheapest and what ever you decide you want he'll get it for you.... and when you decide to get one of his manifolds he'll discount it for you as your a repeat customer...

I know it might seem like im flying the 6Boost flag, but i got screwed oround for 2 months when i bought my turbo, had to threaten legal action to get my money back...

Rang Kyle, got it cheaper and delivered in 5 days...

Plus you get after sale support...

mayb his the man to call. Still not 100% on the GT3540. not keen on the T04.

Im still keen on 350+ just not sure how much power my set up will do. id like to get the most out of it and since im buying a new turbo i would want it holding me back and havin to buy another one.

i deff want garrett.

    • Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.   
    • S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.
    • Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?
    • Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
    • ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
