Hi guys

after alot of discussion i had with the gt3540, i ended up selling it as the rear housing was going to be too big for my liking on the street.

So changing my mind every 5 secs, i went with the gt30r turbo, having it high mounted, wide mouth dump, 44mm external wastegate.

With ppl that "have" done this setup, whats the go with putting on a braided water return line (runs from the back oof the block) ?

Can it be cut and a connector go onto the existing water line, or does it have to be removed altogether and put a whole new braided line on, hopefully this makes sense. Just looking at the water line, im trying to figure out how ya get the friggin line off?

Also, ppl that have gt30r with the .82 rear, what power have you made on your r33, ( i was going through the rb25det upgrade page, but most ppl dont specify what rear housing they have, and just want to know if ppl are making it close to the 400rwhp.

Also if you have pics of your high mount setup with this turbo, and any altercations along the way, that you had to deal with?

I have all fuel mods done, FMIC, AVCR, Z32 afm, 3" exhaust, with hiflow cat.

Also considering cams later on after this has been done

Thanks

Yes you can cut the steel pipe and fit olive fittings.

The turbo is capable 350+ rwkw but don't think a stock motor will let you achieve that type of figures.

If you do get the turbo, go for the v-band exhaust housing.....everything else is straight forward.

sweet as, thats what i needed to know

would a person that deal with making custom braided oil and water lines, know how to do this?

i will be looking at getting cams later, hopefully, but if engine goes bang then rebuild will be last resort

Yeah some like enzed or pirtek will know what to do.

Are you 100% sure mate this turbo would be caperbale of 350rwkw with only a .5 front cover?

sorry mate but there is no chance it will make 350rwkw. They aren't big enough. And they certainly won't do that with a 0.5 cover.

Paul you would know better than many/most that all GT30s are not created equal. It covers a HUGE range of mass-flow and performance capabilities. Just because Ash achieved such a large figure doesn't follow that everyone will.

The 0.50 comp cover tells us little about the compressor ASSEMBLY. What size impeller is this thing running? Off the shelf you can spec 71, 76 and 82mm, with a variety of trims and specs. And assuming that it has the 60mm turbine rotor, what A/R is the turbine housing?

The only thing that is a certainty is that the specs of each side will determine the mass-flow throughput potential, and efficiency. But it will be the TUNE that determines ultimately what it makes :D

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
