Hey!

Running a R33 GTS Series 1. Thinking of upgrading my turbo, and dont really know which one to go with, first i thought of buying one with a max of 450hp but now ill go with one capable of making 500-600hp for future mods to my engine. Have actually had ppl telling me to go with twin's but i think i've got a to small engine, whats your thoughts on that?

Full list of what i will get:

Turbo 500-600hp

Engine management system, PFC or alike

Injectors 740cc

Fuelpump (already got one in-tank and one in-line, both Walbro 255 lph)

Exhaustsystem (got 5Zigen catback now, will make downpipe and frontpipe myself)

New pistons etc. etc.

Now heres my question, is anyone running a Garrett GT32, and is it worth buying one brand new?

If you search with "3071"

You'll find a dozen fully detailed threads that answer exactly what your asking :banana:

Hehe true, also i've looked through alot of threads, but havent really found what im looking for :)

Anyways, doesnt really matter anymore, got my hands on twin HKS 2530's so im off to build soon!

Also i was thinking, as far as i know many alot fo people state that getting about 450hp is the absolute maximum of what the stock pistons can take, is it due to heat, more or less melting them, or mechanic failure so that they rip to pieces at that output?

Many thanks!

David

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
