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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
