Anyone 1st off ever bought RB parts via Ebay from the United Kingdom * I realize RB parts will be more plentiful overseas* 2nd has anyone purchased and used this elbow/screamer pipe http://cgi.ebay.com/NISSAN-SKYLINE-RB20 ... 20b4b43dfb

Last question. What are BOLT ON Turbo options for my RB20 (preferably retaining stock elbow/no fabricating of the exhaust)

I'm not too turbo savvy with all the terminology so I'm not keen on what turbo's ppl use, especially since almost no one runs RB's :frown:

There are plenty rb products distributed here in the states, no need to out source to the uk.
In an s-chassis, those elbows most likely interfere with steering column. The syko elbow is the only off the shelf product that I can think of that caters to this issue but I believe you have to use an sr downpipe.
The rb25 turbo is a little upgrade for the 20. If you have some cash you can source a gt2871 turbo. Quick throttle response and with decent power out put.

That kind of design is what I was thinking in my head, but didn't think one existed already. For 200, it's not bad at all. If you say it worked, then you should get it, mount it, and post up the results here for others (me) to see :)

The second piece you posted is not a 'screamer' pipe, but a 1 pc dump / downpipe. You are most likely going to run into interference with the steering shaft. (not counting fitment)

Buy an SR downpipe, and modify the ''input' flange (~2.75" iD). It should already have the two bends in it to begin with.
Cut 2-3" below flange then pick up a slip-fit exhaust extension from AZ or O'Reilly. Make sure the rest of your exhaust is installed and bolted up to get the correct angles. Then just tack it up, verify, and then finish the seam weld.

An hour, tops, including mandatory Kaffee und Zigaretten pausen.. if that is your thing.
