Vg20 Turbo

[blackprincegts]

Hey!

I have an r32 GTS with RB20DE. I am converting it to turbo however i am not using the DET motor.Yes yes, plenty will call me stupid for attempting this but thats another matter.

I have recently come across a few VG20 turbos for sale at a jap wrecker with only minimal shaft movement. I noticed that externally the VG20 turbo appears identical to the one used on the RB20DET silvertop.I tried bolting it up2 the RB manifold and it went on no probs. All oil and water lines are an EXACT match.The only differece I can see is that on the VG turbo it has 16v 10 written and on the RB turbo has 16v 6 written onit. Does anyone know what these numbers mean?

Bassically im after all the info on the VG turbo i can get. I have searched everywhere on the net and there isn't mucht available.

I presume its taken from a maxima or cedric or something.

I am not after anything mind boggling in performance.I simply want to feel some boost and take advantage of the turbo torque. So you's rekn that this turbo should be able to satisfy my requirments? I can get the turbo for like 130bux including dump pipe.much better that the $400 they want for the stock RB unit.

As many opinions and info I can get would be muchly appreciated.!!

Cheers

have you checked out he FS section?

some people sell their rb20 turbo for less than 150...

as for your question... i would have thought the vg20 turbo was from the vg20et from the older 300zx? or was that the vg30? not sure...

Nah thats the VG30e and et in the Z31.Yeah these turbos are definatly the VG20ET ones. I believe that the VG20DET turbos are somewhat desirable due to being ball bearing.

Thanks for the input WAZR32GTST

The V on there seems to be the version number..

I have seen/had a few RB25 turbos, and generally like V6, etc is a latter revision.

RB20DE+T should go alright if done carefully.

the vg20det turbos are ball bearing and have a slightly larger exhaust wheel than the rb20 turbos. they are otherwise the same. they will provide enough air flow for 160rwkw on an rb20 at 14psi.

great little turbo for what you are after.

I hope you are going to use an rb20det computer and injectors!!!

Nah at 1st i plan on running the GTS computer and injectors. I figure this should be fine running on 6psi. It will probly run richer using my computer anyway which is really what i need to try and keep combustion temps down.

Thanks for the input people..

I have recently found some info on the turbo in question anyway. Would appear that it is the same as the redtop eccs rb20. Non-ballbearing..
