Gday,

I know this has been covered before and I have searched various posts so I have a fair idea but I want to join the 300rwkw club with a street tune of > 280rwkw.

I currently have an R33 GTS-t S1 with an RB25DET. Mods include:

batmbl split dump/front pipe, high flow 5" cat with 3"center, kakimoto 3"cat-back

Apexi Pod Filter

Hybrid GT spec intercooler

PowerFC with EBC add on

Cold Air Intake to help

So far the car has made a max of 250hp at 12psi. I will be purchasing the following items:

Z32 AFM

555cc Nismo injectors

Walbro fuel pump ESS342

My question lies with which turbo and clutch should I go with? I think I'll keep the factory manifold so that I can make use of the batmbl dump/front pipe. I want it to be suited more for circuit track racing.

Ive searched the RB25 dyno results page and these are the options I found:

GT-RS

Gt3540

T04R

Which will best suit my needs and thanks for everyone who puts input in, I just want best for my car! - Cheers

2835 would go close.

from your original choices: Gtrs too small, 3540 too big, to4r too big.

Garrett based turbos would see the 3071 go close (same basic turbo as the 2835 but un cropped gt30 exhaust wheel) or the 3076 do it easily with a bit of lag.

2835 wouldn't be able to use a 1 peice dump to suit the stock turbo, neither would and internal gated garrett.

A Garrett GT30 based turbo will get you over the line.

There are loads of threads/posts from discopotato03 on all the variants, characteristics and associated information.

Having a good search of his past posts/threads will give you all the info you will need :rofl:

I wouldnt purchase that walbro, get a decent Bosch pump.

While I respect your opion Nismoid, why not go for the Walbro - from what i know they have a 255L/h flow (above 300rwkw) at 45psi. I herd that whilst it requires a small bracket, strainer and wiring modifications it will run straight off the factory fuel line???

What about using the Garrett 3076 with a hks cast low mount manifold that has been extrude honed (thanks tridentt150v) ?? Should I stick with an internal wastegate or move to an external one?

Again cheers for all the info!

I recently went with a GT3076R, although a touch laggier than I expected (150-200 or so rpm) I can definitely say that I am happy with the mid range indeed. You will find you will need a clutch not soon but fairly shortly after buying your turbo as I am coming up to, not to mention the drivers side window motor, gearbox nicking from 3rd to 4th and a kick in the head needs attending to also.

Because i had that exact model and it was totally maxed @ 270rwkw/17psi. AFR's were in the 14 range.

Soon as we dropped a bosch in, AFR's went to the 10's instantly. The pump was correctly wired etc etc.

There are many other people who have had walbros and have encountered similar issues that which i have had, so mine wasnt just a once off unfortunately. Seems they can very much be hit and miss

when did it hit full boost by? how much power did you make?

I didn't say to do this set up in my PM, I was just saying what I have done. You will have to work out what you want to do and how to achieve it for yourself. My idea's on how to set up a motor may well be radically different to other peoples thoughts.

If you repsct his opinion then why dont you listen to him?

you will find that when running 550 injectors and a FPR you will need say 42psi base fuel pressure.

then crank 20psi of boost into it to get you to 300 kws and the fuel pressure is now at 62 psi.

this is when the walbro dies in the ass.

if you like your engine lasting once you get up to 270 kws and beyond then sell the walbro and get a 044 and mount it in tank in the same spot as th walbro. still runs on standard fuel lines.

its a no brainer....

I also went the GT30/40 it is quite drivable round town, but when you put the hammer down you better hang on...

Also spend some money on tyres, either buy loads of cheap ones, or get some DOT apporved semi slicks as 270+rwkw becomes tail happy... :rofl:

Or a tomei/nismo etc and direct + wire with relay etc.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
