My R32 GTS-T daily driver. RB20, big turbo, big power, but small budget.

    Loving the RB20 Stav. Its such a shame so many people chuck them for 25's cause they think they are rubbish. I had a cefiro a good while back with one in and it took all the abuse i could through at it, they're so underrated.

    Out of interest Stav, has the motor in this been swapped from a 20de to 20det or is it a de+t?
    Noticed the GTS badges on the fenders.

    Plus the diff sounds like it has the same traits as the one in my GTS

    Loving this project when you have had your fun with this can I buy the engine/turbo setup?! Sounds pretty much perfect to me! I'm pretty keen to keep my rb20 even tho I have 2 25s to put in I like revving the balls off it!

    I have the same turbo on my SR20DET Silvia. Should put out around 400hp on stock internals @ 1,5 bar. Spools up very nicely, on 5th gear starting from 2000rpm, pedal to the floor and at bit over 3000rpm I get over 1 bar boost.

    Very nice build! I demand to see more videos!

    Is that your PAS oil tank on the right there? Just wondering as with mine it's gonna be mighty close once the turbo's fitted, I plan on moving it but have you had any issues with it getting too hot?

    Enough of the gay badge talk, this is a car thats actually used properly.

    I made a heat shield to go around my PAS tank, and literally every pipe is heat wrapped, so it's never been an issue.
