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.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.

      I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks.

      Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
