Hi, just wanna know whether a turbo with following spec would be good for my R33 RB25DET:

Compressor wheel major diameter 84

Compressor wheel minor diameter 56.5

exhaust wheel major diameter 73.8

exhaust wheel minor diameter 58

Compressor A/R 0.5

Turbine A/R 0.84

Flange dimensions 86*44.5

lubricant inlet 3/8"

lubricant oulet 2-M8*51

bearing system 2 floating

cooled by oil

My Question:

Would that turbo fit into my std. manifold?

At what rpm would it start to build up boost?

Is it safe to achieve my 500hp at the crank with that turbo?

without know the flange type you wont know if it will fit.

also what is the dump flange, as it may not suit the stock turbo.

oil cooled only sucks. also not ball bearing sucks.

your standard turbocharger is ball bearing and oil + water cooled.

start to build boost is impossible to say without compressor map or trying the turbo out yourself.

safe to achieve 500hp? not without supporting modifications no

$750 with 6months warranty.........

how do i differentiate between good/sh!t turbo?

Let me rephrase about the 500hp..... will this turbo be able to handle 500hp? coz it's rated at 650 hp.... forget about all other things for the moment.....

its not worth it IMHO and it will fail sooner or later.

There are far too many average joe turbochargers going around.

Buy a trusted and proven brand/item and it wont fail.

Plus there would be hidden costs associated in bolting that up to the RB25

If someone is asking $750 then you can tell that's not the turbo you want.

Laggy, unresponsive beast only useful on fully built motor with raised redline for drag racing. Or put it on a bigger engine. Needs different manifold and dump as well.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
