want to make rb20 with 220rwkw..how?

[FLY-SKY]

hey guys,

i wanna get 220rwkw out of my rb20det, any advice?

[WazR32GTSt]

hmmm well you could do this:

for performance increases:

- 3" exhaust: dump/front/cat/cat-back/muffler

- high-flow panel filter in original airbox

- cold air intake

- turbo: many options from higfh-flow rb25 turbo to something like a 2530 or whatever

- FMIC

- re-chip standard ECU or get a PowerFC

- EBC + boost increase

for reliability increases:

- gtr fuel pump + fuel pressure regulator

- oil cooler

- trannie cooler

that should just about do it!

please correct me if anythign i said was inaccurate...

cheers,

Waz.

cheers any other opinions??

would the 2530 get me to this mark? as ive read soem other threads about 2530s on rb20s they seem to be making about the 200rwkw..

A well tuned rb20 with a 2530 could make 220rwkw, but as already said, they seem to be making around 200rwkw. It depends how far you want to go really, a tune can make or break a combination so it is quite important. Im pretty sure that alot of those RB20's making 200kw off of a 2530 are running stock ecu (correct me if im wrong about this) so a PFC should be able to extract more power out of it.

No one is interesting in trying the Apexi turbos, or the Garret based Tomei turbos?

[b0neR]

The Tomei turbos look interesting but how much would they cost?

[Roy]

I dont think the prob is so much the cost, but the ones i have seen have T25 flanges, but i expect they are available with T3.

If you look at the light tune drift cars in Japan with SR20s etc, a good percentage of them use Apexi, Tomei, Trust turbos, then if you look outside of Japan you have Turbonetics, Garret so many choices... but it depends on your budget

A 2nd hand 2530 for $1500 represents good value, but if you have $2500-3000 to spend on a new turbo then dont forget to look around at what other manufacturers make.

where using a t3 t4 garret turbo and where making 230rwkw from our rb20. we have got forgies in oursa but that only for reliability, but my cuz has got wolf, FMIC, turbo and exausht and he is making 200rwkw so for more punch i would say mabye even a set of cams?
