Hey fella's, just had a thought.

They say the JZX100 2.5L 1JZGTE vvti single turbo model has the largest turbs of the toyota range. It has a T3 flange on it too which means it'll bolt up to a standard rb20/25 exhaust manifold. Obviously the dump flange is different to a gtst turbo, so fitting one will require a different dump and possibly changes made to the intercooler piping.

So does anyone know if they're any bigger than the r33 rb25 turbo? Flow more etc? Good/crap upgrade/downgrade?

It has the much hated ceramic turbine wheel, and can't safely be boosted above 14psi much like the skyline turbo's. Buts thats all I know.

I'm probably answering my own question, but i suppose it comes down to if it does actually give an extra 15rwkw, is the price you pay for the turbo, dump fabrication, front pipe modification, intercooler piping modification, oil and water fittings actually worth it? .......Probably not.

Flow less. Are a POS.

Mate has a chaser, stock turbo, with exhaust and FMIC, it peaks out of flow at around 5500RPM.

They are not as bad as you think as in stock form they turn out more torque than the earlier rb26detts although they have 1 less turbo and 0.1L less displacement...

Although i'm interested to know...when it peaked at 5500rpm...how much power was it making? Because the r33 stock turbos also peak soon after that point...if the chaser turbo makes power regardless then it probably isn't a crap turbo...its just not viable for us...

You make good points. As far as my knowledge served me, the chaser is faster than a gtst/25t/gtt out of the factory, and is a heavier car(not by much), but has the same displacement.

No there was a single turbo version (2JZ) as well with some form of CTxx turbo .

Really?? Are you sure - I most definitely haven't heard of that. The 1JZGTE was twin and ended up with the single turbo CT20B if I remember rightly, which seem about comparable with an R33 GTS25t turbo from all I've seen.

What car used this version of the 2JZ? i thought only the Supras and Aristos came out with 2JZs and they both ran sequential twins...didn't know there was a single turbo 2JZ from factory...can anyone confirm this?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
