I currently have an R33 RB25DET, it looks like it has leaned out on the sixth cylinder, so rebuild is required. I am looking at rebuilding the engine with Arias forged pistons 20thou oversized & might as well get a metal head gasket at the same time.

Now at the moment i got the standard turbo running 10 pounds, front mount, 3'' turbo back exhaust with custom screamer pipe, ebc, splitfire coil packs etc. I am looking for more power when im doing the rebuild so at the moment my list is;

Rebuild with Arias Forged Pistons & Metal Head Gasket

Apexi PowerFC

Nismo 740cc injectors

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Nismo fuel pressure reg

I am undecided on the turbo though, i was looking at either the Garrett 3071R or the Garret GT30R from sliding performance but i wanted some suggestions on a turbo to get. The car is a daily driver and reasonable boost response is required. I also may get some Tomei poncams depending on the turbo but i want to use the standard manifold and have an internally wastegated turbo. I was also looking at a HKS GT-RS but due to it costing 4000 i don't think it is possible at the moment.

How much power are you chasing?

740cc injectors would be a overkill for a daily driven car (petrol) UNLESS you after 300+rwkw. 550cc should be right. remember its a 6cyl not a 4cyl like Silvias/Wrx's

for the money of HKS GT-RS the GCG Highflow (half the price) seem to be producing similar results without the price tag.

my 2cents

250rwkw daily driver with the ability to boost it up to hopefully 280rwkw to 300rwkw, i want to run 12s and in darwin with the heat you need alot of power. Has anyone run a GT3071R or GT30R on an RB25 and do they know approx what it makes boost at & what it is capable of power wise. I also don't mind spending a little bit more money to get get good parts, i don't to get a turbo and run it at close to max performance all the time.

Yer im in the same process as you but my only last decision is the turbo and im leaning towards to Gt30r from Slide as its Internally gated & will bolt on to std manifold and should see around the 310rwkw with the correct motor! Anyone using a gt30r internal gated turbo?

How laggy will this turbo be, i have been told 1 bar boost at 3750rpm without cams, and if i got poncams how mcuh quicker would it spool.

Garrett GT30R 500hp T3 Internally Gated Turbo

Included :

GT30R 500 Hp Dual Ball Bearing turbo with 0.82 exhaust (optional 0.5 and 0.6 front cover) with internal wastegate

Wastegate (Adj actuator kit) with dual diaphram (reduces lag)

Wastegate housing kit

CNC Machined braket

Turbine:

84 trim 60mm GT30

Compressor:

76.2mm 56T compressor

Exhaust housings:

T3 inlet, T3 5 Bolt discharge 0.82 A/r, 3 bolt dump pipe flange

Sounds like it bolts onto the stock manifold which is good. does it come with water and oil lines? do you need a custom dump pipe?

Have you thought about the HKS PRO-S kit comes with everything needed to bolt in place 300+rwkw is possible with cams and its probably less laggy.

cheers

Making 255-260rwkw at 18 psi without cams. get to 18psi between 3000 and 3500 rpm...

VG30 Zaust housing ar anyone?

the GT30r bolt onto the Stock manifold, But the Dump will need modified slightly & bradied Oil & water lines are required!

Gunmetalr33 when do you see full boost & how much power are you making?

Cheers

Alan

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
