btw.. I made 164rwkw which is 221hp on 1 bar of boost.

Its not just about peak power its the mid range that gets you there so the RB25DET will be quicker in accelerating to the peak power.

Considering though the RB20DET does do extremly extremly well in the power department. Especially considering the RB25DET has VCT, bigger turbo, higher static comp ratio etc..

Snoop, are you doing the conversion yourself? If you are then i'd honestly put about $2500 aside for things such as timing belt, fuel pump, filter, oil, sparkies etc. Second of all, you will need to do something about the sump hitting on the sway bar and the clearance of the engine ie hitting the roof. Are you good with wiring? If not then put aside about 300 at least for getting someone to do the wiring and adjusting. If you already have a sr20det then stick with it. I promise you you'll be better off.

The front cover turned out to be stock aswell, I originally thought it was a VG30 item but that would mean it would be smaller than the RB25.

The turbo is still running fine after two and a half years( with a greddy cooler which I think increases its life)

I am having it rebuilt because a friend of mine was helping me pull it to bits and snapped my turbine off the shaft with a badly aimed hammer....=(

Rebuild specs b4 u ask are

compressor- T04B V trim

top 52mm

major 72mm

VG30 .7 A/R exhaust housing and turbine
