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?

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.

      Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
