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.

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

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.

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?

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?

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
