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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
