the turbos sounds good to me. Im not an expert or anything but I would be sure to ask them about the results of the turbo on a rb20. Maybe the can send u dyno sheets, and even pics of the cars.

as long as i have been researching I seen the hks 2530,2535 or a lil laggier 2540 and 2835 are most suitable for skylines.

Im hoping to get a 2835 in the future.

let me know how you go

take it easy

Beario,

Do you come here often

I've heard that the RB25DET turbo is a good swap on the RB20DET, and there's someone selling one on the www.gtr.co.uk forums just now, check it out

My thoughts are you could most likely do better. I have a Trust turbo so this applies to me as well, but the turbo isnt water cooled- so run an oil cooler, and isnt ball bearing-but it does have 360deg thrustplate.

And going on those specs i dont think it will make 500hp, how much hp are you chasing?

hi i am not looking for major performance say like 300-350 hp,i ahve an apexi exhaust(due to be changed for a hks single box exhaust)a hks air filter and bov,and a mines ecu..the turbo is standard and can only seem to boost to 0.5,i have put a bleed valve on aswell to see if i can get to go higher on the boost,but seems the more you open it the same it stays...and i have checked and double checked everything so i have jsu put it down to a dudd turbo....

I doubt that it's a dud turbo ... more like a dud bleed valve. Or you have put the bleed valve in the wrong way round. If the turbo was dud it probably wouldn't make any boost at all

That turbo you put a link to should be able to make what you're looking for on an RB20
