You want a stock turbo to come on boost earlier?? It comes on early enough IMO.

Pretty much any "flow" modifications will make the turbo spool up earlier. So in other words making intercooler piping as short as possible and as free flowing as possible will help. Changing an exhaust manifold to a better flowing one (this is usually only for high mount manifolds because your not going to get any gains for a stock manifold for a stock turbo). Then theres options such as aftermarket camshafts and then a good tune or a nitrous setup.

Thats pretty much it. Obviously on a bigger turbo you might notice a good difference in spool up time, but for small low mounts, theres probably not a huge gain that you will notice, maybe a few hundred RPM with something like cams.

Hope that helps.

Just realised, what car are we talking about here? Or just talking turbo cars in general?

Edited by PM-R33

aggressive tuning

anti lag kit

ride the clutch

variable nozzle / vane technology

bigger cams with lots of overlap (?maybe?)

manfiold changes

porting of the manifold

split pulse manifold setup and split pulse turbocharger housing

Any cars in general - but i suppose im thinking along the lines of RB20DET / SR20DET... I just really like a more linear power delivery.... but also like the bang for your buck performance of turbo... kinda wanting to best of both worlds...

Superchargers are expensive... And so is N/A tuning to get the same gains as slapping a turbo on.

Always the way, i posted a very similar post 2 mins before yours!

Stock RB20Det's don't have much torque so their lag is more obvious. Have to rev them out to feel fast or do something with turbo/engine capacity.

Stock SR20Det's are good for response especially s14/15 versions... full boost low 3000rpm is great. Won't improve much on that.

I just went through this on my Rb26. Be careful to get sidetracked by the hype and affect of some mods. Eg Manifolds & Cams in a moderately upgraded setup did very little for me. Some people remove higher volume manifolds on small turbo setups because you can increase in lag.

in fact some remove high volume manifolds on small turbo setups because you can increase in lag.

yeah air speed needs to be considered on smaller stuff. So porting and cams and bigger anything can often lead to results going in the opposite direction.

Shoot me if this is OT but it is related .

Where you can make some gain is attempting to get a bit more low speed low/no boost torque . Easy mods can be better/best filter elements and free flowing exhaust systems .

On bog stock cars going up a level of SMIC can't hurt ie R33 or R34 SMIC on R32's .

When you can control fueling and timing (ie PFC) it can be optimised around best part throttle torque .

With the turbos themselves if you had to use a bog stock one maybe a little smoothing in the housings but the gains are probably small .

Twin scroll systems are very dooable but mostly very expensive . Trying to find a TS turbine housing that is IW is virtually impossible to suit the std manifold ATM .

I've been getting interested in Evo Lancers and even wonder if their std TS turbos (or Hi Flow versions) could be grafted onto an RB 6 . The problems are that those turbos are reverse rotation and use a unique mounting flange , they are also plain bearing which goes against the grain .

I'd be trying the easy things first and screwing as much light load advance into your car as you possibly can .

Cheers A .

I found the extra litre of capacity helped spooling :banana:

Hahah yeah that would help :angry:

Out of curiousity how much earlier does an extra 0.5 litre do for spool up time? Like is it 500-1000rpm earlier? Obviously a huge amount of factors alter the result but just a rough idea would be cool. Cheers.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
