I need help .... i need to know what needs to be done to my car before i put a better turbo on my car. I have a front mount 3 inch turbo back zorst and pod. everything else is stock. im interested in putting a better turbo,

also i need to know what turbo to get i dont want to spend big bux and dont want huge power. i know of a few people putting highflowed 33 or 34 turbos on there r32's. are these reasonable turbos i should look for.

What i am looking for is a little bit more power but most of all relyability.

thanks for your help

based on my experience, anything more than the stock turbo requires a fuel pump

i can recommend an rb25 turbo and the only extra thing you will need is a fuel pump (as mentioned) and that will work with the stock ecu nicely

this will also maintain reliability

you might want to also consider a boost controller..

cheers,

R34 turbo would be better again, but a lot harder to come by and more expensive.

If you go and R33 turbo, you want to get it from a series 2 as they have a nylon compressor wheel and are rated at 180-190 odd rwkw.

I have an R34 turbo on the way for mine, can't wait!

I have a bosch 040 fuel pump and a remapped ECU, I also have 3" dump back, POD filter, EBC and front mount... will get it retuned once I fit my GTR injectors and Z32 AFM.

What rw/kw you expecting with that type of set up and if you dont mind me asking what would it roughly cost.

I managed to get mine for $530 shipped... But I have been looking for about 6 months!

I am aiming for a very responsive 200rwkw! Should be quite acheveable, just got replace the dump and cat I rekon.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
