This has probably been covered a million times but i cant find it.. plus im lazy,.. so

I want to up the boost in my 34 GTT, heard the stock turbos are piss weak n cant handle much boost so im looking for a stronger replacement, something thats basicly the same so i can pump some more boost into it, are there any replacement steel compressor wheels you can get? or am i better off getting an n1 turbo?... not sure of other requirements either.. retuning ecu, stuff like that.. any help would be great

cheers

the stocker is good for around 220 or even more.

what other mods have you got?

they are excellent in terms of response. skylines dont need big boost to make strong power.

I have the stock turbo and i see 190rwkw with 10psi.

let your turbo breathe properly and fit some good plugs and you should see a healthy increase.

if you wanted a bigger turbo, you would need a p/b or a full ecu..

Highflow the standard turbo it will pump out 250rwkw with just injectors, power fc, pump and cooling mods.

highflow costs about $2000, you give them yours and ussually straight swap. As its a R34 that might not be the case. GCG, precision turbos are your best options. They use ballbearing internals for faster more reliable boost and im sure you can talk to them about compressor wheels etc.

Injectors $1000

Powerfc $1500

Pump $300

Front mount, Boost tap/controller, oil cooler. depends on choice but expect $1500+

n1 turbos are off GTRS, they are small and meant to work in tandum to reach boost quick and hard through the rev range. Not designed for GTT

As you said yourself, your a bit lazy....

Time to find some motivation mate.

This topic has been so infinitely well covered now there is no need for another thread.

Please read the FI Guide (sticky) and the dyno results thread (sticky) you'll see what up-rated turbos people are running and how they affect performance and what other parts were required

Thanks

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
