Ceramic Turbo upgrade
Okay so i came across this on a site the other day:
"What holds back the RB20DET is the Ceramic turbine wheel, the ceramic wheel is easily damaged by debris in the exhaust manifold or can become unbalanced and detach from the shaft. Ive seen this happen on a RB26DETT GTR!!! So please limit your boost.
The limit is a bit clouded, staying under 14psi is commonly agreed to be safe, but you will hit pinging problems before 14psi. Garret offer a conversion to steel turbine and at the same time change the internals to T3 spec, while keeping the stock compressor housing, Ive been told its about $1200. RB20DETs running this mod have dynoed up to 270hp at the wheels."
Has anyone gone with this upgrade? Does it sound like a good idea if i'm after around 200Kw's at the wheels? I already have a HKS pod, 3" exhaust and intercooler. I'd need a larger fuel pump (maybe a GT-R one) and an aftermarket ECU. But what about the injectors could i leave them in there? And Air Flow Meter ???
