RB25 builds, looking for advice on turbos - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

What's up guys, Im looking to do two rb25 builds in the future and would like some input on turbos. Ive done plenty of research but having more info never hurts. Im not biased towards turbo brands so suggest away.

Both motors will have built bottom ends with refreshed heads and tomei poncams.

One car is being built to slide, shooting for around 350hp with a bit of room to go higher and would like to stay bottom mount if possible.

The other will be a fun street car, top-mount, 450-500hp with minimal lag

lemme know what you guys think

Efr 7064 bolts to a stock rb manifold with no spacer and spools crazy awesome.

Top mount T4 divided with S200sxe in a 1.00 housing.

Anything big and ignorant with a hood exit of course.

I run stock turbo cause ceramic is lighter.

^^^THIS RIGHT HERE, anything else you'll want a twin scroll T4 manifold but that easily adds $2K to your upgrade. I would highly recommend the EFR.
