exhaust side a/r-.84

compressor side a/r-.70

second choice

T4 60-1

exhaust side a/r-.80

compressor side a/r-.60

the motor will be all stock execpt for crank collar fix and a cometic metal headgasket! rebuilt with new gasket kit and maintence parts. want 400hp is this possiable? if not what would this setup get me safe? but plesae info about the turbo's ive posted which one to run??

whichever one is smaller. i know that a t70 on a rb20 won't really start to boost till about 5500rpm, all in by about 6000rpm, so i'd say it would be similar on a sr20. so if you want to drift you might want a turbo that if your revs drop won't drop off boost.

haha ok...do a search on these cheap turbos....i had a t70 lasted like 5 months on 11 psi before it blew.....i bought it off a reputable dealer so it cost me $900.......all the down the drain i then went spent money on a good turbo and havent looked back since boost came on at 5k what a joke

haha yeh...go the cheapest one out of the two that should last you the shortest amount of time. Make sure you use any crappy oil lines they provide also, thats a must.

All seriousness you should be going for a gt30 with .63 rear. That would be my choice if i was to be going racing, if you get the cheap stuff your only asking for trouble.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
