Hey peeps

Seen alot of people post different views on this so i want some confirmation!

I bought an rb25 turbo and plan to hi-flow it, can i then put this straight onto the rb20 and it will run ok?

Or will i need a new afc, ecu and injectors?

The car has 3' exhaust, fmic, fuel pressure regulator (to be put on) and electronic boost controller set to 0.6 bar and 1 bar.

What parts will i need to change, what would i need to do to get the car running well with it on? Obviously if i boost past 1 bar ill need new injectors/afm to make higher power im well aware of that! More curious to know if it will run fine on 1 bar with the hi-flowed rb25 turbo...

Help would be much appreciated as this is something im looking to do in the future :cheers:

Thanks :cheers:

I know it will physically bolt straight on, even to the current dump pipe but does it need any of these other bits? Seems like if it did might aswell be better off spending abit more on a bigger HKS turbo thats all, and obviously id have to wait a fair bit longer to get a new turbo done if it needed a new ecu etc!! :cheers:

havent done it but am looking to do so, I would think injectors/afm/ecu fine for rb25det turbo upgrade but for a high flow depending on the output would need these three done. Also fuel pressure reg prob not much good unless ur injectors are maxing with rb25 turbo (non high flowed).

im not sure of a few other things though:

in terms of bolting her on i guess 2 new exhaust/dump gaskets and apply maniseal apparently?? Also is there torque settings that you have to use on these bolts on the t3 flange and to dump? Or do you just have a beer and a ciggy and get the spanner n im making too much fuss??

People also seem to say use the rb20 wastegate actuator cause it holds 9psi as opposed to 7psi for the rb25 one - how does this relate to your boost controller say an electronic one?

Sorry for the hijack but hope u and others would also be interested, and we get some details from dudes datve dunnit do deir durbos...didnt mean that it just evolved...ok i shut up now :Oops:

With a 25 turbo on a 20 they do get really fuelly. Even at standard boost levels, higher boost it gest worse.

It will work fine but not be ideal.

Say good by to "any" economy you had. Also you will obviously not make the full power potental of the turbo until its tuned. This has been my experiences anyhow :cheers:

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
