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.

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When’s the tow ball on the 33 coming? 🙃
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
