just a quick topic on r33 standard turbo...yeah its ceramic exhaust wheel...a turbo mech says he can replace ceramic wheel for a steel one and some other minor mods allowing up to 600hp out of it...i am a sceptic on this...he claims to do it as a "as new turbo" for 1700 bucks

comments anyone?

a 450hp high flow, yeah no probs, $1700 is a good price, 500hp high flow yeah no probs, runs gt30 internals etc, costs more than $1700 tho, but 600hp? how?

farks me mate ...this guy has been building turbos for 25 years does alot of mine turbos too... Turbo Repairs mackay qld winton is his name if anyone want s to talk to him... i dun think its possible mtself....

not 600 hp anyway....

A 'genuine' 600hp isn't possible unless its a GT35r. :whistling:

A GT3040 got close on an Rb25 here in SA, it had the works on, on the engine dyno with mid 20psi something it made 580hp at the fly.

Clint was running the .82 GT3040.

It went on to make 338rwkw on a dyno dynamic once the motor was in the car. So quite a drive train loss, didn't really add up to me but its only a figure, but still its considerably higher than I've ever seen from the GT3040. No doubt running some nice fuel, it was running a Motec M800

600hp hi-flow...

i'd say impossible with the size of the R33 turbo housing.

Its not a .82 rear... and i doubt it could be machined to be even close to that.

Either way, the 600hp would probably be a mis-match anyway and hae a number of issues.

If its true ill buy 10. easier to fit one of them than to go to all this trouble. But unless its got a comp cover this big, i dont think so. Be nice to find a turbo that will flow that and be able to low mount without pulling your hair out.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
