Stao...To help me understand a few things what size wheels and housing does that turbo run?

Is that optimum with cam gears and the right bolt ons? You say full stock. Do you mean std intercooler, exhaust/dump etc? Or do you mean std internal engine? That graph doesnt appear that different in response to a GT-RS

I know its hard to compare a full setup with a bolt on upgrade...but, a TD06-20G like mine is crudely a 55/65mm turbine with an 8cm (read it is approx 0.57-0.62ish) with a 52/68mm compressor.

A turbo sized for around 210-230 only needs a 58 to 60mm compressor like a 2530. In which case you can get them to spin up harder than that graph? This is an rpm/boost plot for my 20G and a GT-RS

would something like this be better for my application? i honestly dont know much when it comes to turbos and sizing etc but this is apparently the garrett equivalent of a hks 2530

It has been years since I looked at the T3 housing options for a GT28 frame turbo. Once upon a time they never seemed to perform as well as the HKS range due to HKS offering their turbos in a good performing T3 housing. Hence my suggestion to grab a used HKS turbo just for their housing

That housing looks like the HKS housings, so perhaps someone can speak to whether there are finally good performing T3 GT28 housings out there. Discopotato and a few other SAU forum guys are freaks with what they know re housing options...fingers crossed they read this thread.

ATR43SS15 runs a .64 rear, 55mm turbine and a 64mm billet comp wheel, which is some thing that we also makes for the SR engines. In which Rb and SRs has some similarities. The SS15 on a worked SR have maxed out at 281rwkws on P98 fuel, which the 2530 can not reach.

Either way, the GTRS or the SS15 is made to be an internally gated bolton turbo, and it has to be forgiving on the exhaust side for it to perform, that is not required for an externally gated turbo. Plus been externally gated it would have given a more free flow manifold, gate that also helps in power making. If a high mount system will be used, you can use our Sl20.5 in a 8cm turbine, which will out perform a standard 20G with similar response.

i dont plan on going high mount, ive heard great things about the discopotato turbo on sr's in terms of power and response for street use, so in theory if the housing is as good as it was on the 2530 this turbo should perform as well?

for me response is a priority to power and 4000rpm until full boost is just not what im after, the 2530 from what i hear is more responsive and easily makes the power im after, if the garrett version turns out to be good as well i might opt for that being new and a similar price to the hypergear stuff

I'm just trying to find a turbo to suit my application I don't see the problem with that? existing mods are front mount, turboback exhaust, 255 fuel pump, pod filter, and coming soon a z32 afm, injectors and a nistune

See if you can find someone on these forums who can take you for a drive with a RB20 Hiflow, before you decide on turbo, what ever you do listen to Roy and Stao, their advice could save you a lot of money.

Personally I think you're worried too much about lag, the cheap option is usually the right option with a RB20

200-220rwkw you just might squeeze that out of the stock injectors and AFM

ATR43SS15 runs a .64 rear, 55mm turbine and a 64mm billet comp wheel, which is some thing that we also makes for the SR engines. In which Rb and SRs has some similarities. The SS15 on a worked SR have maxed out at 281rwkws on P98 fuel, which the 2530 can not reach.

Thanks for clarifying. So the RB20 results, did the engine have a full exhaust, FMIC and a decent tune? What do you mean by completely std?

thanks for all the replies guys, i do plan on getting the car tuned after putting in injectors and a z32 afm on my current rb25 turbo to see what power it makes and then re-tuning it once i have bought another turbo, after the first tune i'll have a dyno graph for reference as well which will make turbo selection easier

Up to you...but why pay for two tunes? Put that money towards the best turbo you can afford...not keeping your tuners dyno running/funded.

Stao...what turbine housing differences are there between the T3 one you make for the RB20 and the T25 you make for the S15?

Its actually an T2x turbine housing. T2x .64 is the only housing that provides good drive ability working with Rb20det engines. So we made a drawing and worked out a method that modifies a Standard T2x .64 turbine housing into a Nissan Rb Bolton turbine housing with a massive internal gate. That enables us making any RB bolton turbos using any T2x based wheels for better response. The SS1PU for Rb25det follows the same pattern.

at the moment my car isn't tuned at all, by getting it tuned it will run nicer, i'll make a bit of power and ill have a dyno reading of what everything is doing, peak torque/power/boost levels, with that info i can select a new turbo with much more information to go on, i also never originally planned to upgrade my turbo until a much later stage anyway, i might even be happy with a lower level tune for quite a while who knows

rb20det is a well trodden path.

Personally the most enjoyment I got out of any of my rb20 combo's was a stock turbo (with good supporting mods- intake, full exhaust, small cooler, pump, plugs etc), safc tuned r32 with 4.4 gears. Light revvy and fun.

My suggestion along with everyone else, is keep it cost effective and fun. Don't chase big power and don't think for a minute your going to re-invent any wheels.

Cheers

J.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
