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

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
