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.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
