The Turbo Conundrum!

[sanger]

Hey guys thinking about getting my engine rebuilt and while its out i thought i may well have a look at upgrading my turbo seeing as though the ceramic wheel 17yr old one probably isnt going to take to well to having extra air thrown at it. Im aware of all the dont go above 14psi and you should be right sort of deal but this turbo is getting kinda old now and id rather get it sorted while the engine is out. Anyone got any thoughts on rebuilds\hi flows with steel wheels or going with an r33gtst or 34 turbo?? are the r34 turbo wheels ceramic as well?

Obviously i would be looking to get a re tune but im still looking to stay within the stock fuel injector level with maybe looking at getting an upgraded pump.

Thanks

Just get a slide or gcg hi-flow,depending on your budget.

if you do a search champ this has been covered many many times....

Any after market turbo you get is going to be able to pump more air than stock injectors can handle. You can always keep the boost down but where's the fun in that?

If you're going to spend the money on a rebuild, spend some on injectors as well.

sinistagtst is right. this has been covered plenty of times. try the search button and ull get lotsa info.

im currently am doing a rebuild of my rb26dett in my 32 gtr at the moment. doing all my research now and ill be getting it started around march next year.

from what ive figured out, to figure out what turbo suits u the best u need to figure out what the car will be used for mainly and what kinda power figure u want.

im guessing at the moment for around 300 to 400 awkw with stuff all lag. i hate lag. ive decided on getting the hks gt-ss turbos. they would suit me the best i think.

a lot of people that i talk to say that its not worth just upgrading to a better stock turbo. eg: 34gtr turbo. u may as well spend the little extra and get a way better turbo

Not looking to get much more power only round the 160rwkw 180rwkw thats why i wasnt going to go to aftermarket. I dont want a race car just wanted a little more kw for my road car that gets maybe 3 or 4 track days a year!

Dude, seriously engage the use of the search function

160-180rwkw RB20's have a lot of threads, also read the sticky threads as they will give you a good idea of things without searchin also

Stock injector wont limit your power with a highflow so go for it.

Cheers for your 2c nib.

Nizmoid I always use the search engine how ever i must be a complete rookie cause if i search this thread for r32 i get no results!!!! So sifting through 26 pages of posts when i type in turbo kinda gets boring
