Rb20Det With Holset Hx40W

[JamSkyRB20]

I am in the market for a new turbo as my ceramic excuse for a turbo gave way....A friend of mind have one of these selling and I'm interested but would like to know if anyone has had any experience with any of this specific turbo on a RB20?

Considering how little/hard results are to find.

And the fact it's directly off a diesel motor - I'm going to have a guess @ not so great and excessive lag for the power result.

How much power do you want/what is the budget?

I'm just looking for 350rwhp and the budget is low hence the idea..I'm from Jamaica where the exchange rate her is not worth shit. so a turbo on Ebay.us that goes for 1000usd cost me 88,000jamaican dollar and by the time i add shipping and hadling to jamaica....I over 120,000jmd and its stilll not on the car as yet..so you may understand where i'm coming from.

Thats the car i want it for.

Get a .69 housing fitted to it. Then it wouldnt be to bad .

but a hx40 is a 400rwkw+ turbo. Really isnt what your requiring

Full boost around 5000rpm = not too bad?

[stagefumer11]

hard to tell what it would be a .69 fitted on a rb20

think about it this way, its the same as hammering a nail into your wall to hang a picture frame with a sledge hammer.

@TiTan plz explain.

I will get that .6* Back housing for it.

[JamSkyRB20]

TITAN Plz explain..

And the .6* backhousing was what i was planning on going with...btw do i have to machine a .63 to that size or are they manufacturers that actually use a .69 on their oem turbos?

[Guilt-Toy]

if your not going to spend money on ecu tuning and injectors and fuel system then going to this turbo is not going to work for you.

better off finding a replacement rb20 turbo on ebay and be done with it.

while its possible to make the power you are after with that turbo you might as well take the turbo off completely and not bother replacing it as it wont come on boost untill 5000+rpm before losing all traction and needing to change gear.

a 0.6x exhaust housing on a big turbo is still massive for a little RB20.

Read this and it will explain a lot to you

Ok titan you have managed to convince mi against that turbo...I have found an alternative here on our local classified section.

http://www.wheelsjamaicahost.com/wheels_forum/index.php?topic=156825.0

Its a JDMSPORT T3/T4 it has a 63 back with a 50front I'm hoping this will gain better results...

what do you guys think of this alternative?
