Im going to be one of those guys..

I somehow blew my stock r33 turbo yesterday and was wondering what the best option was going to be for me?

I have an r33 gtst with a HKS boost controller running 10.5psi, BOV, turbo timer, HKS Pod filter and 3.5 inch cat back exhaust.

Should i be looking for a 2nd hand stock turbo or something thats going to pump out some more horses. I was going to upgrade later ne way but what else would i need to upgrade if i were too upgrade to another turbo?

suggestions?

My vote is going with something that is not ceramic shaft/turbine wheel. Basically I would stay away from another stock turbo. I would go for GT30r or even just a 28 if you are trying to keep it relatively cheap. Not too much modification would be required for either of those if ya stayed with an internal gate.

GCG hiflow

HKS GT-RS

HKS 2835ProS

HKS 3037ProS

all of these come as bolt on or in kit form (straight bolt on).

or some hybrid garrett/nissan turbine housing ie 3071 in nissan turbine housing (bolt on afaik)

vanilla garrett T3 based GT2871 3071 or 3076 but more modifications to fit (dump oil and water lines)

what else do you need? spend saturday doing some searches on the above and the answers are all there.

Well if your looking for costs you'll be up for a bit if you want a power upgrade.

you have to consider:

Dump pipe/Front pipe and highflow cat - $400ish $500ish depending where you go for it.

Front mount intercoler kit - $400-$1000 depending on brand

Z32 Air Flow Meter - $250

Engine Management - $1000-$2000 depending on the ECU you buy

Nismo/Tomei Fuel Pump - $350-$400 roughly

Clutch - $500 roughly

Injectors - $600-$700 for brand newys roughly

Decent BB Turbo - $1200-$2500 depending on turbo whether you buy just the turbo or a kit.

Tune - $600 odd

How much power would we be looking at? I assume this is for RB25?

Can vouch for the GCG highflow

the main questions are, how much power do you want and how much do you want to pay, going a full aftermarket turbo will be expensive once you have done everything else, if you were pretty much happy with the power your making with the standard turbo then just got a high flow, it will be a straight bolt on.

im running a high flow with a vg30 rear and whilst its not the best set up im running .9bar with standard injectors, ecu and afm.

safc fitted tuned $600

highflow the r33 turbo, 360degree journal (bush) bearing with max oversize inlet/outlet, steel wheels, $1300

dont need injectors etc, but yeah youd want 2k minimum for some sort of turbo highflow (GCG are $1950 alone, and you'll want/need some sort of ecu tuning like a safc piggyback)

with a highflow, adj.fpr, z32afm, fmic, 040 bosch pump, 3" exhaust, 2x piggybacks (safc/sitc) I get 190rwkw from a basic tune at 12psi.

How much power would we be looking at? I assume this is for RB25?

250rwkw on average. Depends on the turbo you buy.

id love to find a clutch for $500. i cant find lower then 2 grand!

Depends how much power you want it to handle of course though.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
