On the topic of rb25 turbos. Is there a difference between the s1 and s2 turbos? i was at an importer today having a look and there was 2 'rb25' turbos there. One looked smaller that the other. The other one looked to have a larger rear housing...

Oh dear. Search is your friend. Type in "r33+ S1+ S2+ turbo+"

S2 and S1 are the same except that the S2 have a lighter impeller wheel than S1 (slightly faster spooling)

.. only the 34 neo turbs have bigger housings i'm pretty sure (vg30 rear)

r34 neo turbos use a plastic or nylon wheel ... the turbo is fundermentally the same as the r33 turbo no larger housing

R33 series 2 and R34 GTT have Plastic compressor wheel (front of the turbo) and ceramic exhaust wheel (back of the turbo)

R33 series 1 has steel compressor wheel and ceramic exhaust wheel)

R33 series 1 and 2 have exactly the same size housings/wheels.

R34 GTT has a LARGER exhaust housing and exhaust wheel

Rebuild of a blown R33 gtst turbo (series 1 or 2) will start around $1000 for a non ball bearing, steel wheels on both ends, hiflow and go up to just over $2K for the same job using Ball bearing cartridge.

  • 5 months later...

so how much boost can ur high-flow take? turbo dave.....

do u no its limit?

and are restricted to 15psi?

or is becoz of ur e-mange u can boost higher than a 1bar???

i tht u would get a bit more power than that outa a high-flow..

sorry turbo dave

ive only FMIC, CAT-BACK HKS dragger, spiltfires with re-gapped ngk plugs to 0.8, apexi neo afc, bleed valve

and i make 190rwkw...at 13psi

mayb u need standalone mangement....

im after power fc, after fuel pump, and z32 afm...

but im hoping to pull bigger numbers than that, wit a high-flow....

:(

Mine is an auto so they drag about 25-30rwkw I have been told, so if it was manual it would be around 250-260rwkw which is as far as want to go with a stock engine.

If you are wanting more from a stock engine then I think the longevity of your engine and turbo will suffer.

I was also told by the guy who HiFlowed my turbo that 15psi is the sweet spot for that turbo.

Hope you get what you are aiming for from your HiFlow but the kw number isnt of much importance to me, as long as it drives good and Im happy with the power then thats all I want.

No offence but the 190rwkw you have wouldnt feel anything like a 235rwkw Hiflow.

Also the midrange pull from my car now is unreal, my stock turbo wasnt even close to being in the same race.

I am no expert but these are my opinions from what I have experienced and read about so far.

i recon wit a power fc and z32 afm, and a new fuel pump, i will be pushin close to those numbers...

my mid-range is crap now..lol

but dont forget im still on the stock computer, wit just a piggy-back...

so thats my main problem...

but wit a pfc, that should be solved...

and i recon ur e-mange fix'd ur mid-range issue too...

but how does ur e-mange handle wit the high-flow?

why not go wit standalone???

and im unsure about how much an auto/manual rb25det engine can take?

i tht it would b around the 300rwkw mark? but thats me..

dont forget every turbo and engine is different..

so yeah,

oh, by the way dave..urs is a series 2 rit?

Yeah Series2, 300rwkw is way more than I have seen a hiflow pull from what I have read on here in the rb25 results thread, safely anyway.

The stock exhaust housing runs out before then I think so thats when the VG30 rear housing comes into it along with a little more lagg.

But yeah, I was told 260rwkw limit on the stock engine if I want it to last so thats about 235rwkw with an auto like I said before.

From my understanding the Emanage Ultimate is very adjustable and doesnt hinder power output due to being a piggyback, I went for the Piggyback as they are more compatible when running an electronic auto.

Look through any of the major threads relating to ECU's and new engine management systems... IT should show you that the end result between the EMU and PFC are pretty much the same... It just depends on what your tuner is good at tuning etc...

Both are great units... and will net the same result in the end for you provided you have a competent tuner.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • 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. 
    • 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.
