hey all,

im setting my 33 up for drifting, and in turn am looking to upgrade the turbo for a power gain, but more looking for a response improvement, with minimal lag.

mods coming are upgraded fuel pump & pressure regulator, 550cc injectors, power fc

another 33 ive seen set up for drift had a HKS 2540? however after reading a thread on this i was put off this particular turbo because of lag. should i look to go down the path of a high flow? or proceed to purchase a direct bolt on replacement? and if so, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i have searched, but most of the threads have applications that are for hp gains and top end power, not so much response

cheers

T67 8cm, over 213rwkw from 3300 and peaks at 270rwkw all @ 17psi. See the yellow R34 i put the kit together for, he competed in Super drift D at oran park. The thing is too responsive! It had a gt30 on it B4 and was a pig.

try drifting with a standard turbo first.. get your skill then go big.. im running a 35/40 .63 for drift with around 18 or so psi hoping for roughly 270 - 290rwkw, i dont want to go over 290kw for drifting, its just stupidly overpowered.

OR

As trent said, the t67, also the TD06 25G L2 will be a killer turbo for drift..

Trent how did robs 32 drift car go with the td06 on it?

it had a 14cm rear housing and was geared well with the OS close ratio box, it was built for Grip but i liked it for drift.... even though you needed to be a rough kent... full boost by 5000 and pulled to 8800 rev limit :thumbsup:

the T67 on the R34 made 40rwkw more between 3000-4500 and at least 10 everywhere else but peaked at the same top power as the GT30 so i know which one i would rather be drifting >_<

cant u sacrifice poor suspension setup and crap tyres to induce loss of traction rather than throwing more power at the rear wheels ?

for a moderator thats uncalled for. If you have a problem with drift theres no need to post in threads about it.

how was that response as a moderator uncalled for?

so because im a moderator i cant have an idea or view on something?

i was just thinking out aloud, there a more than one way to skin a cat and drifting that ive seen requires lots of wheelspin

so one way to induce wheelspin is power, but there are other ways to get wheelspin, suspension, tyres, diff setup etc

and i dont get the cool off comments? it was a suggestion/idea relax....

i dont have a problem with drifting and my response was a serious one

well then the answer to your question , no not really, that would be like putting smaller brakes on your car to save weight while racing ;) (on a track)

I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with turbonetics turbo chargers, but their T3/T4 hybrid ball bearing turbo is quite effective in pushing 290Kw with ease and give massive response. a friend of mine has a 26 with that turbo in his car, and i can tell you the car is violent. it hits full boost around 3300 and pulls massive to 8500 limiter.

    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
    • It ended up being that orientation of the float hub in relation to the clutch disk, when I installed it, I heard a loud click and being stupid, I decided to not take it a part and check it. The hub didn't properly align with the clutch disk and was causing the issue. Definitely an odd one! Dahtone Racing was able to fix me right up, stand up blokes!      
    • Right, but I'm saying on the stock ECU measured airmass from the MAF is no higher than stock. So it's accounting for the higher flow rate iso-manifold pressure. You just have to keep turning down the boost until you're within the stock tune's load scale. If you run off the end there's no telling what will happen. This does mean there's zero benefit to the turbos you're running vs stock, if anything it's just a straight downgrade because the transient response is worse, you don't even get the ECU's boost solenoid helping to pull the wastegate closed during initial spool, and peak power is only whatever the factory map can give you before you hit the R&R corner. On a -9 I would bet that you would have to change out the wastegate spring once you have a real ECU and you're tuning it for real. I'm not saying this is a remotely ideal state of affairs, it's just a way to keep it driveable until you can get a proper tune done.
