I'm assuming you DO want more top end power than the stock turbo??

because you wont beat the stock turbo for response. :/

other options like a highflow rb25 turbo (ie. GCG) might be the way to go, steel wheels etc. and similar response to stock...

but in short, Nissan lightened the stock turbo by using plastic/nylon and ceramic components. It means it wont last as long and cant take much boost (1 bar is enough to kill it very quickly) but if the car is left stock and not thrashed it would probably suit it just fine.

If you want more power than the stock turbo can give you, there will likely be some compromises and one of those will be slightly less response/more lag.

You can still keep turbo lag pretty close to stock however...just not exactly the same ;)

gcg is garret is it not? correct me if im wrong thats just what i thougth it was. but dnt for get slideingperformance on these forums he does highflows for like 1200ish i think.

garrett an gcg are to different companies,garrett does there hi-flow for about $2200,gcg does there's for about $1700,garrett has a lot better/stronger components in side there turbo,i did a little custom work for garrett in december,

HKS GT2530 for the win. :ermm: Blistering response, I think it would be just the same as stock turbo if not better. But it does run out of air up top, I think from research it dies from ~-5500rpm, but that saves you having to go to redline all the time.

Just for an opinion, I just installed a GT-RS and running on just the HKS actuator I can't tell a difference between the stock turbo with tuned EBC and the GTRS in terms of lag.

So what is actually stronger? Because to me that sounds like a pretty incorrect statement

The GCG uses:

Garrett cartridge

Garrett wheels

Factory machined housings

The Garrett item uses

Garrett cartridge

Garrett wheels

Factory machined housings

So what parts are actually left that are different? None.

That to me suggests they are (component wise) the same thing.

Ignoring the actual spec of the turbos which is irrelevant when we talk strength of components.

The TD05 is a bitch to fit, but for what its worth - its a fair bit better than the stock R33 turbo.

A mate of mine runs a TD05 16G from an EVO 3 on his RB20DET. It DOESN'T spin the "wrong" way, has a single pulse turbine housing, spools about the same on the RB20 as R33 turbos spool on RB20s - but flows an absolute crapload better up high. It hit ~200rwkw without trying too hard....

They run a much larger turbine wheel than R33 turbos, and a slightly bigger compressor wheel - I'd say they'd have to be easily comparable with an HKS GT2530 in terms of power and spool.

It should be the same as a GT2835 with the .48 A/R in terms of power if it's from an EVO 3

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
