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.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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.
