mate tbh - the best bang for buck turbo on an rb20 is an rb25 turbo

pick one up cheap (300ish, give or take)

then up the boost to 12-14psi and you'll be laughing

they are wicked

[R31Nismoid]

Well it looks like a typical ebay ad... has a typical ebay price...

Forget it. The single most important part for the RB20 is the turbo, you need to spend money there, or the RB20 will just lazy.

RB25 turbo for 180-200rwkw.

HKS2530 for upto 230rwkw

Above that you have a lot of choices, but response takes a hit (3071, TD06 etc)

well a the moment i have an r33 s2 turbo on my rb20, my cars pretty much stock apart from turbo, fmic, bov and full 3 in exhaust,

i have a greddy emange ultimate, nismo 555c injectors, splitfire coilpacks, z32 afm to be put on at some stage and what turbo do you guys rekon would work well with this setup, mainly a street car and occasional drag, this car is an auto to with a 3200rpm stall converter,

i also have a nitro system to be hooked up at a later date.

any help would be much appreciated.

Well mate it depends on how much response ur willing to sacrafice but personally i rekon a tdo6.

Good for 400hp aswell and the nos will help give it a kick

[chalky]

how much response will i loose with a td06 and howmuch am i lookin at for one of those?

[R31Nismoid]

Considering NO2 is illegal to even have attached on the street... i don't see the point of taking that into account for a street car.

Fair enough if it was a trailer/racer deal... but IMO it sounds like you want a HKS2530. 230rwkw or so, will pair nicely with a reasonable stall.

Still not "great" but its certainly not terrible!

[chalky]

the n2o would be for race purpose only.

ok well how much is a hks2530 worth and where can i find 1?? and are they a direct fitment or will i need upgraded manifold etc

my aim is for a turbo that will come onto boost no later than 4000ish

[R31Nismoid]

It's direct fit - hence the joy of it

Check For Sale area, or a jap parts site... not sure if you can still get them new.

But nothing a rebuild cant fix.

2535 or TD05SH-18G 10cm. Bolt on kit for RB25, works a treat on RB20's too

[Roy]

Often wondered what the TD05-18G would be like. Its basically an EVO MR turbo so should be rety punchy on an RB20 and make more power then a 2530

[JonnoHR31]

and sell the emanage. nistune it

240rwkw~1.4bar, more punchy than the TD06, very drivable with a 25, not quite there with the 20, but driving the TD06 and had a mate with the TD05 I can say its a good in between choice.

A lot more stealthy than a big f**k off Trust stainless highmount too!

And about 1/3 the price for the kit.

Underrated choice for sure!

While looking for a good ecu for my rb20 ... i was thinking emanage... but whats this nistune u speak of ? take into consideration i know f- all about engine management so keep it simple and what would be best im after 230-240 at all 4 wheels on my gts-4 so i need an ecu that will be good for playing with different parts while i slowly upgrade bit by bit..

Its funny how they advertised that you can get 560HP out of .58 A/R turbine internally gated. Its just not going to happen.

I would believe this is a typical mismatched KKR430 spec turbo falsely advertised to 560HP to rip off low budget consumers. and there is no way it can bolton to your OEM setup.

If your budget allows we are happy to build you some thing to match your desired driving ability and power level using proper Garrett and Mallet components or high flow your current turbo
