I am thinking about going to a turbo upgrade.

At the moment this is what is done to the car:

- POD

- Brass button clutch

- 3" from the turbo

- Short Shift kit

- FMIC

This is what i plan to do after the turbo upgrade:

- Injectors

- Cams

- Fuel Pump

- Power FC

- Suspension

What turbo would you suggest and what price is it ruffly.

I have been told with the stock turbo and some modz i cant get anymore than 220RWKW.

I want between 250RWKW and 350RWKW, so please advise the right turbo and modz for my needs.

When i planed my turbo upgrade, i wanted it to look as std as possible so i bought a 2nd hand hi-flowed R33 turbo and fitted the VG30 exhaust housing (a R34 hiflow is equivalent and doesn't need the VG30 housing)

My mod list includes variations of all your above mentioned items but i also had my head "race ported". Even though this has given me more flow, i now realise that it also has made the combo a little laggier, but i have no regrets ;).

End result: 270rwkw@15psi

Standard bottom end; so we stopped tunning at 15psi, then lowered it to 13-14psi to make a reliable 250rwkw and fine tuned the setup at this level.

theres a massive difference between 250rwk and 350rwkw so you should think carefully before deciding, the cost difference is around 10k.

250rwkw it would go for hks gt-rs or garret equiv, z32 afm, 550cc inj, powerfc, heavy duty clutch, tyres, suspension work, cold air intake, intercooler, boost controller, 3.5" split dump zorst and cat back

for 350rwkw it beyond the safe internal limit for rb25

so youll need to open it up to safely make that power.

ie: cams, pistons, injectors

you need a larger turbo (more and more lag)

with forged pistons, cams most likely

bigger clutch, better suspension work

and so on

as the power graph increases linerally the cost graph increases exponentially.

Im new to this and was just wondering what mods id need to fit a Garret T28 to my R33 GTS25t (RB25DET) without ending up damaging the engine ie-FMIC,Boost controller etc planning on having all these but wondering wether its safe to do them one at a time or wait and have it all done at the same time, my stock turbos on the way out so was thinking of fitting the turbo first and the rest later is this wise/safe any feedback would be apreciated

T28 isnt bolt on.

Better to purchase one that it IMO. Ease of installation saves costs.

Please search for more info on upgrades and what you need

OR read these threads below, all the info you need is in the second link for supporting mods.

    • Yeah the rule of thumb with an LS is 7psi per 1000rpm. That is decidedly not enough at 6800rpm. I mainly looked for the scenarios where knock started to be picked up and it was later in the session when things were hotter, and oil was thinner, and the pressure was lower than it should be. (i.e very horrible). I am hoping with thicker oil (I was running Penrite ten tenths 10-40, the manual specifies 10-30) that does not leak that it's much improved at that time!!! I am using Project Mu Club Racer CR pads. I'm also using the Project Mu 335C fluid. The symptoms imply that it was fluid that boiled, but no bubbles seemed pretty weird to me when I bled it today. I want to try Castrol SRF as it has a much higher wet temp but, well, I have new Project Mu fluid lol... so I should at least use that. The pedal on track was really noticable. It went from basically normal feeling to instantly near-floor. The car did pull up as before, it was just very much nearly at the floor before the brakes engaged. At that point I pretty much decided the day was very done, it did *kinda* come back during that very slow cooldown lap into the pits. Felt perfectly fine driving home.
    • f**king around with the bro
    • Ludenham   44.2 tops day no issues  
    • Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.
    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
