Ideal turbo for rb20 240z?

[rb20_z]

Hi guys,

I'm currently swapping an r32 gts-t RB20DET (68000kms) into my '71 datsun 240z.

Mods: 600x400 i/c

3 inch zorst with dump pipe, hi-flowcat,

wolf 3d ver. 4

The car weighs 1100kgs

What turbo do you guys think would be ideal for my setup, it's going to be a daily driver but i want to get some power down to the ground.

I also dont want to spend lots of $$$ on it, as i've spent enough through this project as it is

Thanks for any reply guys.

word seems to be a r33 turbo for a mild 20-30rwkw benefit and then down the track a high flow and you would be laughing, or could just high flow the stocky, then like new

other good option is a 2530 or gtrs depends on ur preference/$$ i guess

A highflow 25 should be enough for a descent kick in the pants.

What do you have to modify to get the rb into the Z?

friend of mine has a 260Z that we were talking about droping an RB into. Probaly a RB25/30 though.

What kind of horsepower level are you looking for?

250-300 hp: Garrett gt28rs (0.64 a/r)

280-350 hp: gt28rs (0.86 a/r)

320-400 hp: gt2871r (0.86 a/r)

350-450 hp: gt3071r

380-500 hp: gt30r

ok has anyone actualy seen how a rb20 with a GTRS goes ? im looking at getting one.. but i've heard of people having them on rb25's but not 20's... are they really as good as i've heard? (meant to have low to mid range of 2530 and topend of 2540)

I had an rb25 turbs on my 280 and liked it. If your not looking to spend much i think the rb25 turbo is a good choice.

What are you doing about fuelling?

for the zed, use the rb mounts, shorten them so the engine doesnt hit the bonnet. The sump has to be modified, (im just going with a fabricated one) as it hits the crossmember.

other than that its a nice cosy fit

Ok, So going with an RB25 turbo? what about the vg30?

Thanks guys
