damn really thats awesome ive been to one tuner here in perth and said nothing but negative comments about the turbo so i got a bit worried and made this post they said i will have endless problems with boost, do you have any problems with boost and can iask what other supporting mods u were running with this turbo

cheers sam

The int gated housings are only new to the market... i'd sad hardly anyone would have one on there car

so there will be no results as such.

If it performs like the ext gate version (which it should) then there is a zillion threads about those :(

you have to order a 1 bar canister for the gcg gt30 for the internal wastegate actuater or a hks one , otherwise she will struggle to hold much over 17psi of boost. that is why external wastegated gt30 are better than internal wastegates. i should know ive run both on my rb25.

Just like the XR6 turbo (as they are essentially the same turbine housing but running a smaller wheel).

Throw a decent actuator on it rated close to the boost you intend to run.

Its silly to use a 6-7psi actuator when you intend to run 12psi+.

supporting mods needed:

-aftermarket ecu

-aftermarket injectors (nismo 550 or 740cc direct bolton fit for r33 rb25)

-aftermarket fuelpump (i see ur looking at getting a 044 fuel pump, i would say go for something like nismo or tomie as they are direct bolton takes not more than 30mins to install one)

you should also consider buying some rims if you only have stock rims (reason why is with aftermarket rims you can run larger tyre size which can help with traction)

Aftermarket clutch

and if you have money left over, good shock and spring setup, camber kit for the rear (so u can get rid of that negative camber when u lower the car), good brake pad upgrade ....

good luck!

gt30 seems alittle big for me thou ..

ps check ur topic in wa about pfc, as i can help

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
