What Can I Hope For And How Much Boost

In a few weeks i am getting my new turbos put into my car (R33 GTR) :blink: They are GT2860r-7's. I am also getting my exhaust replaced at the same time. I have Tomei dumps, 3 inch Do-Luck front pipes, 3.5 inch cat, and a 3.5inch Do-Luck cat back.

My car is stock at the moment and was dynoed at 181KW at all 4.

My question is what sort of power increase can i expect from this upgrade? And what PSI/BAR should my turbos be set at? I assume since i dont have a manual or electronic boost controller that the boost can be set on the actuators? Im thinking 1 BAR will be fine and still keep my engine in good safe working order.

Cheers for any help :down:

18-20psi you should see around 300 at all four with management.

You make no mention of management however, so if you dont have any...

1bar - 250 at all four.

Bit of a waste running 1bar with those turbos though, get some management

The plan is to get a Power FC when i have the money ready. Im just trying to get my car back on the road after it being off the road for 6 months with stuffed turbos.

I dont really like the idea of being to close to 300KW just for the fact that if my engine goes i cant afford to rebuild it at the moment im trying to save for a house aswell :blink:

I finally got my car back today with everything fitted and no more exhaust smoke either :)

I managed to get 232awkw @ 14PSI

That is great for a stock GTR.....

PFC will only get you another 20 to 30 AWKW's.....

I run the gt-ss turbos on my stock r32 gtr at 307rwkw with a safe tune and blew up no.6 piston within 3000km. Don't do it mate. Run about 270-280rwkw to be safe.

once you get the power FC you should see an easy 290-300rwkw with 18psi..i think that would be safe. 232awkw is what you would expect from standard turbo's at 14psi

Cooper,

You in Adelaide mate? Whos doing the work on your car?

Cheers,

Big Mike

Yeah im in Adelaide, Graham West Workshop (Adelaide Performance Engineers) did the work.

If i wanted 16 PSI would it be as easy as adjusting the nuts on the actuators? since i dont have a boost controller. How much would i have to wind them out?

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
