I have a series2 r33 skyline, current mods are

- 3 Inch stainless Steel exhaust

- POD

- Power FC and Controller

- Apexi Boost controller

- Front Mount

- New Big Radiator

- Fuel Pump

Its tuned at around 190 – 200kws.

Im looking at putting a new turbo on it. Ive been told the standard internals would hold up to around 300kws, is this true?

If it is what im thinking is getting a turbo that is capable of making the 300kws then getting you guys to down tune it to a very safe 275-280kws. Would that work?

If yes what turbo would you recommend to do this job? And it’s a daily driven car so id prefer less lag the better.

I also will be getting some deatchworks 555cc injectors when I get the turbo. Is there any other supporting mods you would recommend also?

And if i was to bring it to you guys what kinda cash, roughly, would it cost?

This is what they came back with....

The RB25 in std form will kope with 300kw at the wheels provided it has been kept well. The injectors your are getting will be large enough and we can supply you with a Garrett GT30/40r turbo machined into a std rb25 style exhaust housing, this gives good responce and the potential of running 300 at the wheels, The turb is $ 2100.00, you will need a spacer and longer studs to fit it to your exhaust manifold $ 90.00, a braided oil feed line and coolant fittings hose etc and drain fittings etc $290.00, we will need to modify your intercooler pipe to turb and also make a 4" air flow meter to turb pipe $ 360.00

Labour to R&R turb and manifold refit with new turb $ 450.00, Extra will be charged for broken manifold studs etc and exhaust manifold gasket $145.00 ( genuine)

this set up will give you 270-280 at the wheels with std cams at 18 psi boost, aftermarket cams will be required to push further with out boosting up more

What does this sound like to you guys?

This company is well respected and will do a good job. Great people there so in no way having a go just dont know as much as other people will on here about it and not sure if that sounds alright.

What other turbos would you recommend and cost?

And remember that is with all labour etc

Just wanted to know some other opinions....

You'll also need a better fuel pump and clutch.

The w/shop sounds like they know their stuff and are reasonably priced.

Don't for a second think that "anything under 300rwkw, is going to keep your engine safe". The only thing that keeps the engine safe is your right foot and how often you mash it. You are going to be making twice the factory output, so now you're playing a game of Russian Roulette; some engines are built (from factory) stronger than the norm, others a little weaker; that's why all manufacturer's have "tolerances" with all parts, it's how the combination of these tolerances come together, that dictates the strength of a std engine. 300rwkw is a loose guide: i have seen 'lines thrashed to death with power under 200rwkw. My car was making 269rwkw, when a piston decided to develop 4 hairline cracks, whilst circuit racing at Calder Park, but i had already factored/budgeted for an engine failure as i knew it was only a matter of time, due to the stresses placed on an engine whilst racing.

If your mechanic is stating 270rwkw at 18psi, how much psi will require you to get over 300rwkw? Using pump fuel (98-100ron) i wouldn't go over 20psi, even on a built engine, and you wont make an extra 30rwkw with 2psi more boost. On a std engine 18psi would be my absolute limit, unless you have budgeted for a rebuild. It may be worth going slightly bigger turbo, to make your desired power figure more easily (ie: using less boost)

BUT: I wonder where you plucked 300rwkw from. :D

Is it just because it's a nice rounded figure, and you'd like "bragging rights"?

Have you driven a 300rwkw car?

Even at 250rwkw a 'line can be pretty tail happy.

Oh yer forgot to add i have a new fuel pump cant think of the brand off the top of my head...

And clutch is on the way out so yer thats going to be done at the same time....

Only driven my skyline at 210kws and only shooting for around 280 as thats the most ill be doing to it and wont be going any further so might as well push it to what it can take. Dont wanna upgrade again... But any advice is good thanks!

Also whats the GCG like to the turbo they are offering?

If you cant afford the rebuild, dont chase the power is the golden rule.

Be happy with 250rwkw and a much increased chance of it hanging together

As for turbos, mate there are a dozen good threads out there now.

Posts from users like Disco/Dale/Mafia/Cubes in all their threads about what has been tried/failed and so on.

Do them the justice of their write ups and read their threads, so much great information :teehee:

ok here is a nice option,

Garrett GT3071r $1600 internal gate from CRD croydon racing

water & oil lines $300-$500

manifold spacer $60

new hoses maybe-$100-200

full days labour unless you do it yourself

Full retune on Power FC

provided your supporting mods are adequate you should make somewhere between

260-290rwkw depending on what boost you run maybe 18psi

This is a rough guide but close to what it should cost but always budget $1000+ for those

just in case situations..

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
