Hi guys , just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction...

blown my turbo up... 85% sure of that ...

its stock as far as i know .. i need to replace it but wouldnt mind goin a bit higher in Hp if i can without having to do any other major work...

what are my options here ??

and what is the standard Horsepower of a R33 running say 12psi on a standard turbo... with 3.5 straight through exhaust, FMIC, POD filter , remapped computer chip,

basically i want to be able to bolt on a new turbo with no fuss and possibly gain some horsepower without straining the setup to much.. any ideas ??

thx in advance

mike

i went for the hks gtrs, straight bolt on. i have similar mods to you and am getting 275rwkw, go to nengun or greenline for the best prices but there is a few weeks wait on delivery.

the gtrs has more lag than a high flow so i depends on what your using it for. had i known just how much lag was involved i would have probably gone with the high flow option but none the less i am very happy with the gtrs and highly recommend it

Hi Mike.

I see your new to the forum.

Please checkout the sticky threads in this section.

The Dyno results & FI Guide are the two main ones you need to read.

They cover all the basic mods, upgrades and the respect results.

Take the time to search also if you don't understand something, basic bolt-on upgrades are well covered on this forum

Cheers

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
