Series 1 has ceramic impellers = slightly slower spool up but can take higher boost.

Series 2 has plastic impellers = slightly faster spool up but cannot take as high boost.

Which is better?....How long is a piece of string? Decide what your objectives are, then work how you are going to get there.

:P why dont u get an aftermarket turbo? If you 'trashed' your series II, i assume its from running too high boost for it, so y not get something like an HKS GT2540 (what i got). it goes well, plenty of puff, garett guts (steel turbine, and ball bearings). stronger than ceramic or plastic...

uh, will dyno in two weeks when i get to perth. so not sure about output at moment. engine-wise i got: aforementioned turbo, hks blowoff, intercooler (aftermarket), 3.5" exhaust, apexi f'manage, forged pistons, metal head gasket (wont effect output), uh, thats about it i think. oh fuel pump. got other mods, but non engine stuff, like suspension, gtr wing (dont call me gay) wheels etc

yeah. sounds good. mine is internal wastegate, but biggest they make (i believe.) after that is the externals. friend of mine, who posts here, has one. hasnt fitted it yet. only thing i worried about is lag. i need a new computer to get most out of my current turbo. cuts in hard and late. like really hard. if i boot it in first or second, the turbo kicks in and the wheels spin. not chirp, spin. :P i getting camber adjusted next mechanic visit which should help. got 255's so cant fit anymore rubber under guards...

How much boost will the stock series 1 turbo take? Im running 12psi tuned with a haltech E6K ecu, FMIC, 3" exhaust ect..

What turbo would you guys recommend for standard internals and also what would you recommend for the rb25 with forgies ect ?

why don't u hi-flow your thrashed stock SII turbo rather than buying a new turbo with the same possibility of thrashing it again?

if u do NEED a new turbo, based on the info provided by surreal i would say SI as ceramic impellers and can take higher boost before sh1tting itself

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
