Hey all.

I am in a bit of a indecisive mood and cant work out what will be the next best mod I can do.

I have a 1996 R33 GTST with the following mods.

Apexi PFC

Nismo 555cc's

Full 3inch Exhaust + Downpipe

Turbo Elbow with screamer

Walbro 255lph fuel pump

Steel internalled standard turbo

Big FMIC

Hard Piping

Apexi Power cone thing

Cold air box for cone thing

Greddy Profec B Spec II for boost control.

Its just recently had quite a bit of work done and made 336bhp (250kw) on 1 bar of boost.

My target is 400bhp.

What turbo will be best suited for this kind of power with the mods I have already?

Options!

1) GT3071R

1a) as above on the standard manifold, does this fit?

1b) as above on a tubular manifold. Is this worth it?

2)GT3076R

2a) as above

2b)as above

Has anyone got any pics of either of these mounted to a standard manifold and a tubular one and also what exhaust housing configuration do you all use? Whats the best for good spool but good power also.

Thanks in advance

Paul

Steel internaled probably means a high flow.

As for the upgrade, first thing you'll need is a new fuel pump. My walboro 255lph (at 42psi) maxed at 280rwkw. I go the Nismo 275lph (at 70psi)

I used a Garrett GT3076 (GT3037) and a 0.63 rear and made 300rwkw with water methanol injection. Extremely nice power curve.

Here is my 300rwkw Thread

Your kidding lol I only just upgraded the fuel pump!

I dont really want an HKS turbo I would much prefer a Garrett.

So Jono can the GT3037 fit onto a standard manifold or do you think going to a aftermarket one is worth is bang for buck?

The turbo I had maxxed out at 336 @ 1 bar. 1.2 bar made hardly any difference is top end power so it wasnt worth it.

I think it was the fact that the boost was dropping down to about 1.05 at the top of th erev range.

If I start with the boost lower than this though, say 0.80 it creeps which drives me crazy so I need a set up that will eliminate boost creep as much as possible or entirely!

hey dude

The GT3037 is a garrett turbo. Mine has it stamped on the side. The model is 700177-5007 and ask for either the 0.82 or 0.63 XR6T style rear.

My standard manifold seems fine at 300rwkw too. BUt aftermarket always have their advantages and disadvantages. Weigh them up. If you can make your own, then make a good one ;)

And yeah, sorry to say about the fuel pump, but sadly anything over 55psi from them and they run out of flow big time. (42psi rail pressure and I had 18psi boost. Didn't like trying to push 60psi.)

HKS 2835 or something would be my pick as your after roughly 230-240rwkw.

Dont need a big huffer for that result at all.

Nismoid, I worked out that 300rwkw is 402rwhp.

Is BHP at the engine or something? If thats the case, then the 3071 or 2835 should be fine?

Edited by The Mafia

Thanks man, who wants a hardly used fuel pump lol.

Anyway, fitting this thing?

Is it straight forward or are there any tips you can tell me know before I start headscratching big time!

Ive been told me tuners over here that only a nissan cased turbo fits the manifold, anything more and it needs a new manifold.

p.s sorry for the rubbish typing above, i was in a rush this morning lol.

I think its because that over here in the UK putting new turbos that big onto the RB25 is not as common as there.

They have plenty of knowledge they have a 600bhp RB25 they have done alot of work on, but that one had a different manifold.

At the mo is a 3071 or 3037 the best option? I will be upgrading the head gasket also to make it a little safer.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
