i have an series2 r33 rb25det

the following is the selection of modification components that i am in the process of purchasing

i am just after opinions as to turbo selection in this setup

i am not chasing massive top end power, just a well tuned, quick streeter. i consider a quick streeter around mid 12's

- sustec pro coil-overs

- bridgestone potenza's on 17inch work rims

- apexi pod

- hybrid fmic

- full exhaust - split dump - 3inch front pipe - 3inch high flow cat - HKS 3 inch system

- hks ssqv

- apexi avcr

- sard FPR

- Denso performance pump (rated around 300l/ph)

- inlet plenum (possibly bigger throttle body)

- 550cc injectors (considering high flowing standards???)

- apexi power FC

- stainless low mount manifold

- gt30r ( this is where i need opinions. should i retain the standard t3 flange or go for a bigger option?) also what other turbo's have the capability of performing what im after. also would it be an option to externally gate it with a screamer pipe or best not to????

thanks

Your on the right track but you could save a few $$$ and buy other things..

- apexi pod = K&N panel filter in the standard air box (no defect)

- hks ssqv = waist of money! keep the stock BOV

- apexi avcr = PFC boost kit instead or even a $35 turbotech will be fine up to 18psi

Use the SEARCH button... there are 100's of threads regarding this topic

Cheers

Edited by QRI05E

you wont need all that stuff

dont need :

plenum or Throttle body

sard FPR

low mount manifold - std would be fine for that typeturbo/power

GT30R, will still be laggy even in the 0.64 rear housing trim .. full boost at about 4000rpm .. and is externally gated

but should get your mid 12's goal.. then again a 2535 running 245rwkw can get 12.5

suggest something smaller like the 2835 ..

check out the RB25 results thread ..

anything will around 250-270 rwkw will get you the 12's your after

maybe the stock bov was stuffed. i know mine is, so is a mate of mine's. both leak at idle, and mine leaks up in the revs too.

and what stuff do you already have, and what are you getting, cause in your post in the dyno section you have some stuff listed. would've made more sense to say what you had, and what you were getting.

spot on, forget the plunum. the money you would spend on the plenum spend on suspension instead, to help you get the power down. and gt30 is probably a touch laggy on the streeter side. there are probably better suitable turbos to give you some good average power,

r33 hiflow

hks gt-rs

hks 2835

garrett 2871

You are on the money with this one Paul. Might be worth having a look at www.nengun.com for the RB25 GTRS turbo kit with injectors Power PC ect

If you only want 12's

Forget the following:

FPR

GT30r

Stainless Manifold

BOV

Plenum

Just saved the best part of 4k-5k there....

All you need is:

550cc injectors

PowerFC

Full exhaust

Better I/C

GCG hi-flow/HKS 2835 (bolt on replacements)

EBC of some kind

Decent clutch

You dont need anything more than 220-240rwkw for mid 12's on street tyres.

Any more spending is going overboard for no reason.

    • 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...

    • 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?
