>_< Ha here we go again, last time I asked about a new brand of turbo (kkr's) it started a shitfight so any opinions/input, saw an add for these in the trading post while leafing through the parts section and have also seen them on ebay, asked the seller a few questions,their bush bearing they had a couple of dyno charts didn't look like too bad response/power curve and they pointed me to the hypergear website but my translator on my pc is up the shit and don't speak or read jap :laugh:

I dont see why you would keep picking wierd unused unheard of turbochargers.

There are plently of proven well backed up turbochargers for the gtst, theres literally 20+ pages of dyno cheets to scroll through. For the sake of saving $500 and dealing with extra lag, crap response, mistmatched exhaust + dump housings is it really worth it?

id like to be sponsered with a new turbo as mines on the way out and i cant realy aford the likes of a garrett. i think its good that a few new brands of turbos are coing out. it helps even the market out. solong as they still come close to normal power and lag ratios.

Results from the CA will differ from the results on the RB.

Do you have any RB results.

Apples with Apples.

The slide turbos are comparable to yours. They run a VG30/R34 highflow that makes up around the power you are on the CA without the need for an external wastegate.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
