Hey guys,

my turbo went LOL... so i need to get some that gives me abit more power!!

but havent got lots of cash to spend...

i just got a new dump pipe a month ago... and i been looking at all these different turbos

and they have got wierd rear end housing connections

i just want something to bolt straight inplace, and give me 300-350 RWHP @ 16PSI

i got forged internals but dont wanna go to much!!!

=) please explain how the farkk do i connect that wierd housing to my stock style front/dump

Thanks

any places in perth that sell decent NEW turbos at a reasonable price ....

umm are Garrett GT35## any good? heard u can get em for 1300 ish

Hey mate

you have a couple of different options..

the gt35r wont be a bolt on and is too much of an overkill for 300-350rwhp so thats out

a real GT30r would be a good option, and will easily get you the power your chasing but isnt a direct bolt

get a disco potato (normally on sr20's), would be very responsive on the rb25, get the power your chasing and bolt straight in

You could just get a 2nd hand skyline turbo for $350-400, have it at 14psi and but only have 270-280rwhp

You could spend 2k and hiflow your current turbo, which will get your power level and bolt straight in

but if your replacing your turbo with an aftermaket turbo, i would allow atleast 2k as a budjet

hope that helps

This has been covered a billion times.

Try searching,you will get dozens of threads on this subject.

yeah but i been looking.. no1 covers how the hell they fit up and all that shizzle!!

looks to me that you needa mod ur front/dump to suit most the turbos out there... so lame, considering i just got my front dump LOL

Dude they do cover how they fit up...

-What power they return

-How much boost people use

-What other parts (like manifolds and so on) people employ.

-Other supporting mods and so on

I think you need to spend some time reading :ninja:

A GT3540 is a 450-500rwhp turbo choice for a start, and generally not a turbo without a 5-7k bottom end :D

Please do some more reading.

The FI Guide had some brilliant links for beginners and skylines

Cheers

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
