I have just recently found out my RB25 turbo is on it's last legs so I thought i might aswell upgrade it while up there. I have heard of people saying good things about

Kinugawa Turbo's and just wanted to come on here and ask what the overall opinion of them actually were

Eventually I would like to achieve 350hp on a stock Bottom End RB20 is this acheiveable?

If so what turbo charger should I be looking at getting? I've heard TD06-20 are good for 20det's am I going in the right direction on this choice?

anybody on here with a 20det actually ever bought one of these turbo's got any feedback on relibility/performance/ ease of install (completeness of the turbo kit they sell)?

So far i've been looking at this which seems to cover everything you'd need for the install, but if anyone has installed one of these before, does it?

people seem to struggle getting the bottom front nut done up turbo to manifold

as the casting is to thick on the flange to get a spanner on there something to keep in mind

I was going to have to remove the core fit the rear housing then refit the core

or I was told by a mate he took to his with a grinder

What do you mean by 350 HP? Fly? Or at the wheels? Reason I ask is that you can pretty much do 300HP at the fly on a stock RB20 turbo, get reasonably close to 350 on RB25 turbo.

By the same token....I first saw ~350HP at the wheels done on an RB20 with a TD06 in about 1998. It's not hard. You can shit that amount in on stock bottom end.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
