Have unfortunalty done the sums and cant afford the GTR 33 i was looking at so to drown my sorrows im thinking of upgrading my GTST series 2 33 abit....

My mods so far include -

- Power FC & Controller

- Fuel Pump

- Full Turbo back stainless steel 3inch exhaust

- big front mount

- pod

- new big radiator

- just over 200 kws at the wheels.

I was talking to shaun at boostworxs and he says with the current set up has pretty much maxed out the turbo...

So im looking for a new turbo. I dont wanna spend a fortune, was looking at slides turbos but i reali want 275 or closer to 300kws at the wheels and i dont think they will cut it....

Its a daily driven car so i want minimal turbo lag also....

Any suggestions?

Ill also get 555c injectors when i get the turbo probably deauchwirks ones

anything else i have over looked that i should upgrade??

Thanks

Adam

afm, clutch, flywheel, possibly coils, and alot of people will suggest suspension.

personally i wouldn't put stock internals through more than 260ish

When the new turbo goes on in a month, i'm not going over 260, although i probably wont be able to get her much further anyway on a gtrs setup...

250 to 270 seems to be the accepted limit round these parts...

whats a standered GTR r32 run in kws?

kw only tell part of the story - even R32 GTRs are a LOT heavier than the 25t, so that effects power/weight and the fact that the engines are similar size means there is a huge difference in the effective power delivery. I am running pretty much the same turbo on my 25 as Cubes is and I haven't been in a GTR running stock twins that pulls as hard as my 25t does.

damn this is hard and a confusing decision......

i like the idea of awd and the fact its a gtr...

i want the fastest car i can get in the 1/4 mile, and i have the choice out of around 220kw gtr or around 260kw gtst 33...

In my opinion a 260rwkw GTS25t on a set of MickyT ET Streets would rape an 220wkw R32 GTR down the 1/4.

i have the same problem, the gtr is superior in every way to the gst-s rb25. i want a gtr, so to kill that urge ive just got a hks gt30r stuck on my gts-t r33. apparently they pulled over 300rwkw with mine, but il be limiting that to 270-280. obviously the complete fuel system is upgraded ect.

yeah i love the look and the performance of the 32 gtr, it seems like its 15-20years ahead of time, but it seems to hard to find one that hasnt had the absolute crap thrashed out of it. im sure there may be some decent ones out there. all the best with the 32 search. i would swap my car for a decent 32 gtr any day.

Hey ADZ

I just completed my upgrade.

I was able to get 261rwkw without spending 4k for a turbo.

This is how I look at it.

Keep the GTST for a year or more and then trade it in for GTR-33.

The GTST will hold more value as a performance car then a 200KW car.

IF you own your GTST then just trade it now and get a loan for 15k to 20K.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
