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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
