Just sent my R34 GTT turbo off to GCG to get highflowed. Being doing abit of research and the max power is around 270rwkw from a R33 with cams. Mine also has cams ( tomei Poncams 260 ) and since the R34 has slightly larger exhaust housing... Is it safe to say that i should net 280rwkw with all the supporting fruit and a good tune? Now that would be pretty dam impressive from a highflow!

A 10rwkw variance can be attributed to Dyno more than anything dude.

The figure will be between 250 & 270rwkw depending on the happieness of the dyno.

Thats around what most people get, so thats what you will get. I dont think you'll make more than anyone else when you have all the same gear :O

If you do only make 250rwkw, doesnt mean there is something wrong (i can see you posting a whats wrong" thread if thats what it makes)

Just remember its a dyno, tuning mainly is the use so results of a 15rwkw variance are not uncommon... so aslong as you get 250-270, she will go quite nicely i think :D

Okies all dyno read diff..And many factors contribute to a final dyno reading i guess. But a highflowed R34 will produce more then a R33 highflow right? surley the bigger rear would make a difference to the reading after taking into account diff tune and dyno machines?

I believe the R33 your refering to making 270rwkw was with cams and the bigger vg30/r34 exhaust housing so effectively when you highflow yours it will be exactly the same size turbo.

as R31Nismoid was saying, the happiness of the dyno could already be the 10-15rwkw difference.

Some of my experiences;

Example 1

R34GTT with R33GTST GCG Ball Bearing High flow and standard Neo cams = 253 rwkw.

R34GTT with R33GTST GCG Ball Bearing High flow and 260 Tomei Poncams = 265 rwkw.

Gain from changing cams = 12 rwkw (up to ~20 rwkw at some rpm points)

R34GTT with R34GTT GCG Ball Bearing High flow and 260 Tomei Poncams = 275 rwkw.

Gain from changing turbine cover and tuning = 10 rwkw

That’s my R34GTT on our race team dyno, which is most certainly not “happy”.

Example 2

R33TST with R33GTST GCG Ball Bearing High flow and 256 Tomei Poncams = 260 rwkw.

R33GTST with R33GTST GCG Ball Bearing High flow with VG30 turbine cover and 256 Tomei Poncams = 273 rwkw.

Gain from changing turbine cover and tuning = 13 rwkw

Ian’s R33GTST on another dyno, since results collate, most likely not “happy” either.

You can draw your own conclusions from the above.

:D cheers :D

SK,

in example 2, am i correct in reading that you made more power with a R32GTST GCG Ball Bearing hi-flow turbo?

please clarify.

Sorry, trying to type too fast

I have fixed the original post, I think that answers your question.

At what boost level were those power levels reached SK?

1.3 and 1.4 bar respectively.

Dropped from 1.5 bar when we ported the cylinder head, less restrictions = more power at lower boost

:D cheers ;)

hey SK,

thanks, that makes sense.

hey, actually, again in example 2, you state the same mods although with different power levels, that being from a different turbine cover. what turbine cover was that?

Example 2

R33TST with R33GTST GCG Ball Bearing High flow and 256 Tomei Poncams = 260 rwkw.

R33GTST with R33GTST GCG Ball Bearing High flow and 256 Tomei Poncams = 273 rwkw.

they are all rated the same :rant:

i think the housing difference is very minor, just in the opening to the dump and stuff.

I think Bass Junky compared them... or was it someone else

Yer I did some measurements some time ago now, the R34/VG30 housing from memory was ~5mm wider.

I find it interesting how HKS tend to ran narrow skinny housings with a greater height where as the stock and garrett housings are flatter but wider.

I edited it again to clarify, I thought the "Gain from changing turbine cover and tuning = 13 rwkw" told the story but it now reads a bit easier.

:rant: cheers :O

PS, my problem is so many posts and such slow typing speed.

Gary,

I'm curious...

The R34 and VG30 turbo's I had sitting here a while back were identical in general size not looking at comp wheel machining as the R34 comp wheel was considerably larger.

My understanding is that once the VG30 and R34GTT turbine covers are machined out for the GCG (high flow) turbine they are exactly the same.

:rant: cheers :O

SK what was the lag difference between the stock high flow and the one with the larger exhaust housing?

staring boost rpm and full boost rpm

thanks

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
