Do the right things...I have tuned RB20DET, RB25DET, and RB26DETT, here is the bottle neck for the RB20DET:
1- Exhaust (for sure...it's turbo)
2- Front Mount Intercooler (don't push the stock one over 240WHP)
3- Injectors (Stock one will be maxed at ~ 230WHP)
4-Turbo (Stock turbo is small....and kills the top end power, maximum 230WHP)
5- MAF (good up to ~280WHP, then upgrade to the 300ZX 90-96 same physical size but able to read more air)
What to do,
#1 Exhaust 3"
#2 Big Intercooler...why not a stock GTR one, good for 400WHP
#3 The stock GTR injectors + resistor pack would be a good upgrade, they can puch ~400WHP max
#4 GT2871R 0.86A/R with the T3 flange option or GT30R...if you are on a lower buget, a simple T3/T4 with the right trim will be good! (we have done a GT30R on a RB25DET, and full boost was like ~3000 RPM)
#5 Z32 MAF, part number end by N62 (make sure you get this) it's 80mm, or if you want bigger, the Q45 MAF, 90mm both measure almost the same flow level.
And for sure....ECU tuning to calibrate all this and make a reliable setup with big power!!!
