installed my turbo kit....


Recommended Posts

I got a turbo kit off ebay for my engine. It has IHI ball bearing turbo RHC6, greddy wastegate adapter, trust wastegate with downpipe, trust compression pipe, and EGT gauge.

It took me 2 days to install the turbo kit. It was a pain in the ***. I had to custom make 3 exhaust nuts hand filed by hand to clear. It took about an hour each to transform a 17mm nut into a 14mm nut. Next my friend accidently broke my wastegate nipple. So i had to drill it out and install another nipple for the boost line.

BUT OMG IS IT WORTH It...it doesnt spool until about 3800RPM but when it does it hauls ***. I get pulled back hard. I LOVE HOW IT SOUNDS...it sounds much more like a "skyline" its nice...at stock wastegate boost its about 10psi...and it kicks but!!! and thats with the SIDE MOUNT IC...it feels to be about 250WHP.... thats with stock IC and injectors no fuel tuning...i cant wait till i dyno tune...

Hey thats an RB20! Cool. Be very interested to hear about your resutls once its tuned. Not many ppl throw that sized turbo on Rb20s.

Am i looking at the pics tight, the car is LHD...what is it a 240SX? Any idea what ECU you will be running, and im pretty sure you will need bigger injectors:thumbsup:

Good to see someone having a go with an RB20:)
