Hey there, from doing a little research, correct me if I'm wrong, but does the stock rb25 turbo bolt directly onto an rb20? Is this a worth-while cheaper alternative for a turbo upgrade? Also current mods, cat back exhaust, 12 psi boost, fmic. Would I need a re-tune? And what's the best amount if boost I should run if I do the upgrade? I'm located in Melb, Vic (south eastern suburbs) if anyone has an rb25 stock turbo for sale in great condition, n this is a viable option plz let me know. Thanks

Yep, should bolt straight on and they have a bigger turbine housing than the standard rb20 turbo so you will get a bit more power out of it. Keep the rb20 actuator though and it Would definitely be worthwhile to get a retune once you put it in.

I have one I'm willing to sell for $200 plus postage ($20 or so). It was never boosted past the stock level of 7psi and was only in the car for 105,000km

Let me know if you're interested.

The r33 and also r34 turbos bolt straight up to an rb20 and are a very good cheap upgrade. I had an r34 turbo on mine with the op6 rear housing and that made 176rwkw on 13psi untuned. They should make around 190rwkw with a tune which is a nice little setup imho.

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.
