im wondering what is the next setup for my R33 GTR

here's my setup so far

i have APEXI AVCR boost controller...boost reaches 1.5 bar, lowering the boost after a interooler pipe remove the other night

stock garrett twin turbos with ball bearings (i think)

APEXI SAFC

TWIN HKS SSQ BOV

BLITZ Exhaust

APEXI POWER intake

stock ecu

(I haven't opened my engine and check the cams...and inner parts, i haven't added performance parts yet, this is what iv gotten when i bought the car from japan) with the HKS BOV, what could be the limit of the boost of this setup???thnx

Power FC if you can get one.I think ive seen a few for sale in the for sale section.

Haltech are good but a bit expensive.

As for clutches a good upgrade is a ceramic cushion button.Can handle up to 300ish kw and are good for daily driving.

I have given mine a bit of a caining, a few passes down the quarter.Still feels like it did when it was new.

1.5 bar boost and stock turbos ???? I wonder how long she is going to last. If I was you, I would back off the boost to under 1 bar until you replace the turbos .

Stock R33 GTR turbos are not ball bearing .

Yep next thing i'd be doing would be a computer and a tune, most people round here use PowerFC's and regardless of what people tell you APEXI do still make them and they are readily available for the Rb26.

Also if you are unsure of what turbos you've got best to keep them under 1bar for the time being, as the others have said...

i haven't touch the settings oh my avcr, the whole setup is from japan, it reaches to 1.4 and 1.5 bar from my avcr, could it be possible that the cause of high boost is because i removed the muffler? i only left the resonator?? i already checked my turbos, its a GARRETT M24 A/R42 , i tried to spin it with my fingers and it stops about 2 to 3 secs...so maybe its a ball bearings? were can i find the power fc ecu? and how much?

So, because your car already appeared to be running '1.4-1.5 bar' when it arrived from Japan you assumed it was safe to continue doing so?

Im surprised your turbos haven't combusted and lunched your motor

Just out of curiosity, when a turbo blows itself to bits like your suggesting this one could, what would "lunch" the motor?

Is it possible for the turbo particles to get through the intercooler? It doesnt look like theres alot of room for bits to get through!

(i dont know a great deal about turbos blowing up.. thought this might be a good place to ask :banana: )

Search is your friend but ....... when a RB26 ceramic exhaust wheel turbo goes it is generally spinning fast enought that it sends ceramic bits everywhere including back down the exhaust manifold and potentially into the engine through an open exhaust valve - hence everyone's warnings. The stock turbo's are known for doing this with increased boost and age.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune · Posted

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
