Hi,

i want put a bigger turbo or hi flow the stock one? Which is better as i dont wanna change internals but want my engine not to blow or fry a piston. What is the best turbo for minimal lag, most power and a good amount of power at the wheels with standard RB25DET.

thanks

JOHN

If you're after response and good average power across the rev range, then I'd recommend a highflow - good bang for buck and should easily see 220-250rwkw with the right supporting mods.

If you have enough coin and are after more power whilst still maintaining decent response, then the HKS GT2835 ProS is also a good choice.

pfc + 740cc injectors + z32 + HKS GT2835 PRO S

Isn't 740cc overkill for anything under 350rwkw? 550cc injectors should be more than adequate.

Depends on how much power your after mate? and whether or not you may want more power in the future again!

again it depends on your supporting mods as well. sooner or later your going to need to change ur fuel pump, injectors, clutch, ecu...etc...and all of which costs more money.

imo, i'd go a HIFLOW. the hiflowed turbo will give you the best of both worlds, more power than stock and pretty good response as well. and best bang for buck!

my two cents,

goodluck mate

i would recommend the gcg hiflow, i had one of them on my rb25, got a vg30 ehxaust housing adapted to it and results were very good, i was more than happy with it. made 258kw at wheels on 15psi, my engine is built however but still expect a signifigant gain over standard turbo.

I'd go for a GCG highflow turbo. Personally tried and tested. Close to stock spool time, but huge power. It's ball bearing.

Bolts striaght up. No modding lines etc. Includes everythign you need e.g. gaskets, washers, etc etc.

Cheap -- 1750.

The precision turbo highflows in the group buy section are also good - 1550. ball bearing too. I personally haven't tested them, but I know people who have, and i'd get one.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
