hi all, I have a couple of questins regarding a hi flow turbo that i am considering buying (i have a lot to learn when it comes to turbo's), I only have a certain amount of information at this point about the turbo but the rest of the info will be made avalible to me as soon as i know what questions to ask.

here's some info on the turbo:car was taken to geebung drift king with blown turbo. they removed it and sent it off to Garrett to get it rebuilt. apparantly its a pretty custom jobby. 300zx turbo housing high flowed with steel wheel, rb25 compressor housing high flowed with steel wheel. (there are recipts for the work done on turbo)

would a a 300zx rear on it make it spool quicker ?

at this stage i am assuming it was origionally a R32 stock turbo at the begining, will this be a straight bolt up to my Rb25det?

will it be a better than my stock R33 turbo?

my stock turbo comes on nicely a 2000rpm and currently running 12-13psi daily

reason for buying this other turbo is so i can happily run it at 1bar daily,if and when i deciede to get it out on the track i will be happy to wind it up to 18psi and have my stock turbo laying around as a spare, i would appreciate any constructive input and answers if you have them, if you have any questions u think i should put forward to the owner please let me know, cheers Damo

shirt answer is YES. it will bolt on and be an upgrade.

Long answer would invole you answering more questions which you won't know the answers to as you are not the workshop who took it apart and measured bits.

that depends matey. The is it the 300zx twin turbo? or single turbo. The twin turbo one is no good.

Only the single turbo one - also known as the vg30det turbo - not the dett

I hope/believe it is the single turbo. why is the twin one turbo no good?? thanx in advance Damo

the twin turbo ones use a t25 flange (and are too small for your car), the single uses a t3 flange - same as your stocky.

If it has OP6 on the exhaust side and the usual R33 compressor housing it might just be an R34 turbo thats been rebuilt.. If hat has been hi flowed and rebuilt with steel wheels ur laughing. I recently bought a 34 turbo (stock) and it has the same VG30 rear housing from a Z31 3L single turbo V6 and same compressor housing as the R33. Basically the upgrade to an R33 RB25 turbo is it shoudln't run out of puf at the top. If urs is a hi flow u should see some good gains, bit more lag, more top end. Thats what it sounds like to me. A good indication of a hi flow turbo is the rear housing, If there rear wheel is large enough to come close to outlet maximum measurement its deffinately been enlarged.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
