Will this turbo suit my RB20DET? - Drifting forum

Garyowens · 18-07-2008, 22:18

Hi Lads
I have been offered this turbo at a very good price and was wondering would it be a direct swap on my R32 RB20DET? It is made by a company called power boost anyone ever hear of them good/bad/indifferent??? Would it be too big/laggy?

Gary

Here is a pic and the spec

T70 TURBO AR70, BRAND NEW NEVER USED
SHAFT & WHEEL TRIM 64.5mm
COMPRESSOR WHEEL 70 60.5mm (similar to Garrett T61)
TURBINE HOUSING A/R .84
COMPRESSOR HOUSING A/R RATIO .70
V-BAND OUTLET
T3 FLANGE, BUT COMES WITH ADAPTER PLATE FOR T4, SO IT FITS T3 + T4 MANIFOLDS.

Too big

Unless you like a 500rpm power band

Massivley too big, not direct fit, and its the same chinese made turbos sold by millions of ebay clowns with no real clue.

If he cant even work out how to take a sharp picture of the product he is trying to sell, god help him on anything that actually needs brains.

To be honest in the right application, turbo isnt that bad, but no good for you.

Cheers lads,i was getting it off one of the lads local to me for 200 but i tought it might be too laggy alright.
I'm going to go for this standard rebuilt model from conceptua instead https://conceptua-tuning.co.uk/produ...uct=87&cat=37I think its a better option and at least i know it will be reliable or can anyone recommend anything better?
