I've narrowed it down to a few choices only....basically i want as much response as i can get from my rb25det, and would like to know which turbo would suit for a street r33....i would like to make a car with enough power to pass a high 12 pass on the 1/4 aswell......maybe 250rwkw will get me there???.....please help guys, heres my 3 major considerations atm:

HKS GT-RS

GT-SS

GT2530

current mods:

fmic

apexi pod

3" exhaust + split dump

bosch 040 fuel pump

splitfire coils

the threads i see about the gt-rs are generally for the rb26 motors, and they say its too laggy for them.....but it seems they are quite a good turbo for the rb25? why is that?

thanks!

This is because the GT-R's that say the GT-RS is too laggy are running 2 GT-RS' turbo's.

One GT-RS would be fine on an rb25.

A gt2530 is a good responsive turbo... if you're running 2 of them on a GT-R lol. But really, this seems way too small for an RB25 single.

GT-SS is again just a little too small.

My vote is GT-RS or GT2871R.

Good luck!

gtrs is a an awesome turbo, but if your looking at turbos that size of what you suggested i would seriously consider a slide highflow, they are awesome for the price and bolt back on with minimum mods. i put one on a mates car and it took me under a day including stocker removal and the thing hauls

I have driven a 33 with gcg hi-flow, and responce was pretty good actually.. full boost by 3.5-4, which ok is a little laggy.. But god damn does it pull!!

hi-flow might be cheaper than gtrs as well..

thanks!, whats the response like of a gtrs?compared to say the stock turbo, which is really reponsive down low.....and will it get me to 250rwkw?, and a high 12 sec pasS on the 1/4?this is my long term goal, and one i dont want to keep changing turbos around for....also how long will an rb25det engine last with a gtrs and that amount of power?

will it get me to 250rwkw?, and a high 12 sec pasS on the 1/4?

You don't need the MAGICAL 250RWKW POWER to run a high 12 second pass, i've got around 220-225rwkw and ran 12.9 on 225/50/r16 Toyo T1R's @32psi tyre pressure

GT-RS or HKS2535 or a GCG/Slide Highflow would be my choice

You will also need:

-Bigger Injectors

-EBC Boost Controller or bleed valve

-Remapped ECU /Powerfc or the like.

thanks for that, yeh what size injectors would suit?and is it bad to get bigger than you need injectors???, cause the ones im after....theres no real difference in price between nismo 550cc and 700cc injectors....so should i get the 700cc ones instead?. I have a sau bleed valve, dnno if that will be sufficient, but seems to hold boost quite well:)

and im after a power fc aswell, will i need the hand controller or not?

cheers,

cheers,

for the power you are after, 550 cc injectors are plenty. if you want even more power down the track then you might want to get the 700, but if not, youll be just wasting fuel. If you bleed valve is up to the task then what you have is fine. you will need a good ecu to control eveything and the power fc is ideal and best to get a handcontroller so that you can monitor knock levels, adjust timing if necessary, etc..

Best turbo to do a high 12 pass and the most responsive would be the stock turbo. It has been done numerous times.

Some of the turbos that the guys mentioned above would be way too big and be lag monsters. e.g. the 2540? lag central.

umm a 2540 is just a touch bigger than a 2535 and smaller than a 2835 and GTRS, so how would it be a lag monster??

yeah stock turbo hi flowed would prob be the best....but if faster 1/4 time would prob invest in drag tyres...from my experience a set of 2nd hand drag tyres will take 0.3-0.4 off ur time.....to do that with just power increase ur looking at like 30-40kw...

I've got a GT3071. Pumps 15psi and over 230kw atw by 3200rpm. Stock injectors and air flow meter. Turbo cost $1500 plus oil\water lines and intake mods. All up cost $2000. Is sweet, loves to peel the rubber off by 10 psi

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
