new to this so bare with me.

Just fitted a hiflowed rb25 turbo on my near stock rb20det on my r32 yesterday with minor mods fmic bov pod 3inc, and thought it would be a good upgrade considering there seem to be rather popular but im not seeing full boost till about 4800 5000 rpm is that normal? im getting a new ecu/nistune and walbro pump fitted next week. car has no low end power just dies in the ass if i drop the revs to anything out of boost.

would like to know what you guys out there with hiflowed rb25 turbos are seeing full boost at? any comments or advice tips tricks would be most appreciated cheers.

I dont have the specs on me but I Had my 33 turbo hi flowed a few years ago for my 32 and wasn't that much different then my new current td06 setup,all round- boost vs hp vs rpm range etc isn't worth it but seen as you have it already I'd try some cam gears as It picked up around 5-600rpm earlier with em..

i run a td05 and i get boost from 3000-4000 @ 1 bar

a 32 highflow comming on that late sounds odd. have you hade it tunes at all sice the new snail?

did u actually read his post at all?

#1 its a 33 hi flow

#2 his still running a stock computer - getting a nisstune soon

and yer mate from what ive read hi flow 33 turbos are pretty average on rb25's let alone an rb20... keeping in mind that 1 hiflowed 33 turbo may not be the same as the next

Have to remember an RB25 has +500cc of displacement, as well as VCT. Cam gears are a cheap mod and adjusted right can help increase response and bring that turbo on sooner without losing power

Imo, keep the 33 hiflow for the moment and as Fornoyd20 said, get cam gears and a tune - then decide. There's the potential for a gain of 5-700rpm lower boost through cam phasing and ignition timing alone. If you can get it to 'come on' around 4000rpm, that's about the point most turbo's will be doing so on an rb20.

A mate used to run a high flowed 25 turbs on his 20 and was seeing full boost way before that. Off boost driving was pretty poor but barable. A tune would help but as said it depends who high flowed it and what bearings are used, size of wheels etc etc. Tune better fuel pump and bigger injectors and decent boost control will see gains everywhere and you will be happy. The tuner will probably play with the timing anyway.

i used to run a highflow on my rb25 ( 2871, 56trim in stock housings ) , would pull hard at 2500rpm with a bar in at 3000rpm

my avcr does a brilliant job of bring on the boost, get a good boost controller and pile on some duty early in the revs.

What td05 is this ? 18g 16g maybe ? Just keen to know I'm thinking of putting one on my 20 And how much power is it making ?

Get a good R32 Highflow, mine is on full boost a bit after 4000rpm I think and pulls hard to the redline, right before the E85 tune was making 216rwkw with as good a response as you'll probably hope for on an RB20, drives nice off boost, remember a good tune makes all the difference.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
