I'm about to boost my n/a 34. Intercooler etc is sorted and fab work.

Q1. Do rb25 turbos and rb20 turbos use the same oil lines ? Because I have a set of speedflow braided oil feed and return lines an I want to know if they will bolt straight into rb25 turbos.

Q2. How would an rb20/25 turbo go if I get it rebuilt with a billet wheel and high flowed with a kinugawa adj actuator ?

Q3. Cost vs cost, which is better ? ^ that or going straight out and buying a kinugawa TD06 20G ?

The plan is to only run around 10psi as the n/a motors have higher compression values then the 25det neos. To pair with this, I'm just going to run the factory low mount manifold with a 2.5" twin entry dump, greddy type FV BOV and drift boost tee.

What's my best option ? Cheers guys. Kinugawa TD06 or rebuilt rb20 or 25 turbo with billet wheel and kinugawa actuator ?

Not much. Picked up a GREDDY FV BOV, permaseal gaskets, factory turbo manifold, twin entry dump and boost tee for $180 and I already had speedflow braided oil feed and return lines.

Looking at $400 for a return flow cooler with piping, $1k for a nistune install and tune then I'm looking for an op6 turbo or something similar.

You running factory non-det injectors and fuel pump?

If you're buying injectors and a fuel pump I'd sugest going straight for E85. its perfect for the higher comp motor and you will make more power on that small turbo

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
