the 25 also has a ceramic exhaust wheel and is prone to exploding above 13psi.apollas wrote:500 for a rb25 turbo? i think thats alot for just an rb20 upgrade. i think the 25 wont boost that much more than the 20 just that the 25 has better flow than the 20 due to the 20's ceramic wheel. i think thats it for the 25 but i may be wrong though (get a 2nd opinion)
but, imo, with that 500 just save for a bigger turbo
Did, whoever rebuilt that turbo, replace the ceramic exhaust wheel with one made from steel?black240j wrote:l my friend has an rb25 turbo rebuild with a different turbine, to make it spool faster and he wants 500 bucks usd, and i was wondering if it was worth it or should i get a t3 Garrett or something, let me know thanks alot
unless its a modified rb25 turbo, he is an idiotblack240jl wrote:he said its steel, and its set up to boost up to 20psi and to make 400 hp?
he spent 500 on modifying a rb25 turbo? wow..if you think about it he is probably selling it to you and using that 500 you gave him to buya better turbo for himself imoblack240jl wrote:it is a modified one, full redone, he has 500 into it and he wants 500 back out.., he has an sr20 and was gonna use it as an upgrade, hes running 14psi on his car now, im thinking about snatching it up, hasnt been used yet still brand new
Um no^^^^^ ALL RB 25 turbos have ceramic exhaust wheels man smh, they have different material front compressor wheels. All max of 14 psi. Ball bearing doesn't mean steel wheels loldrftup32 wrote:hi.. to start of mate these guys are talking a load of s***, first thing do not buy a t3/t4 they are s***. u would be a hell of alot better using a rb25det turbo but u must buy the correct 1,(45v4)or(45v3) as these are both factory steel internals, 45v2 and any other 1s u will find are ceramic shaft, and therefor these will snap if u ever use a top mount manifold with your turbo as u have to rotate your intake housing.. if to buy a 25det turbo make sure it is 45v4 as i stated before, if u buy a t3/t4 expect to be hiting boost at 4g ... pathetic, on my rb20de+t i have a rb25det turbo and it is crazy it does ezy third gear stand stills and holds drifts amazingly, al i have done is put a rb20det wastgate actuator on the turbo so it runs a nice 10 pound boost, only other modification is a walbro fuel pump, 2 and 3 quarter exhaust and the correct tune for a plus t, and is incredibly reliable, it goes so well the injectors are maxd out and it owes me the minimal dollar, cheers
