from GCG:-

The factory turbocharger is a ball bearing T3 sized unit with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit we replace the ball bearing pack with a new one while replacing the turbine wheel and compressor wheel with hi-flowed models. The upgrade comes in two stages.  

XTRGTST-STG1 450hp rated          $2250.00  

XTRGTST-STG2 500hp rated          $2450.00  

what's the response time like on the turbo upgrade compare to the factory ceramic and the HKS 2530(seem to be popular)?

was telling me his brother has a GTST, they high flowed the turbo, match ported the standard manifold, fitted a 3 inch exhaust, FMIC, fuel pump and reg, kept the standard injectors, a wolf 3D and got 200RWKW and pulled a flat 13 at calder park with street tyres at 107MPH.  

The Wolf is alot cheaper, but l have heard it cannot support bigger injectors, is this true?

not going to hammer workshops, but for 200rwkw that hi-flow may aswell be a paper weight as thats a dead waste of $1500. Even 210-220rwkw i would question. Guys around here seem to bring home great results with the GCG turbos.

Personaly i'd get bigger injectors and not bump rail pressures with a reg.

If you want an ECU... get a PowerFC. Take the car to ICE Performance or Racepace Motorsport for the tune. By far the best in Vic for an RB tune/work

Who said the PFC was expensive? @ ~$1100 with Hand controller from nengun... i dont think you'll find better anywhere.

PFC's are cheap as dogsh*t these days. I purchased one the other day. Great prices.

EDIT: just noticed someone went thread digging :headspin:

I have just pursched myself a 95 R33 gtst with the following mods, FMIC, full 3 inch exhaust from the turbo, air filter, and a HKS boost controller. I have talked to alot of people about up grading the turbo, but they seem to tell me different things and now I do not know what to do. Do l highflow the existing turbo? or opt for something big such as a T04 with a custum manifold? and who in Melbourne is the best place to talk about turbo upgrades. My aim is to get the car to run in the 12 second bracket.

dude,

i'd recommend you speak to dennis at P.E.T Modifications (9464-4225 or 0425 799984) as he would be able to advise you which way to go for the power that you want.

also, if you were looking at hi-flowing your original turbo, he can get that done for you, so give him a call and have a chat with him. just tell him Goran (RS500) sent you and he'll help you out.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
