Hey all, Ive had my 93' 33 gtst now for about 2 n half years n its boring me. Ive been waiting for the time n cash to do it up a bit, now i have it(soon).Would this be suitable: 600hp+ turbo, new h/d clutch, f/m cooler, microtech ecu, bigger fuel pump n bigger injectors. What size injectors n pump are suitable? Is there something else i need? Ive got a 3.5" exhuast right through already n thats it, the rest is stock. Ive been out of the scene for a while n need updating if im missing somthing people are putting on to theres these days. This is n still will be daily driver.

Cheers for the feedback.

turbo is too big IMO for stock internals. also wont come on boost until probably 5000 RPM.

biggest turbo I would recommend would be GT35 rated at 500HP, even then would probably be too laggy for a street car.

ok then, apparently this particular turbo i was "gunna" get was an 'ATR45', i dont know anyhting about them or heard of it. Ive been told it was rated at .70 - 600+ hp. It is going to be dyno tuned so wouldnt they be able to do somthing about that then?

How much approx is a gt35 turbo n piping going for?

sorry, you said that would be too laggy aswell. Can any1 gimi as yell on a good turbo n housing (not piping) for me. I want somthing that is going to be strong n powerful that will be worth getting for the other mods im getting

not much you can do to tune it to hit boost earlier.. advance the timing a lil maybe but it can be risky..

that kit looking at $3.5k+

hks gt-rs mate.. or just go hi flow if you want to save a bit for somethings special..

Hope im not sounding too dumb but id like the car to boost up still about wot the stock one does. The hks would do that would it?

Go for a HKS GT-RS or a Garrett GT2860RS (Disco Potato) for a quick street RB25, thats what id do anyway.

You will lose a little bit of low down response, but gain loads of midrange and top end.

Or if you want even more lowdown response, but a bit less top end, just mod and high-flow your current turbo like whistle said.

Have a look in the RB25 dyno thread, thats the best way to work out what you are likley to need to suit ur needs.

Hi there.

I notice your new to the forum.

If you read the Dyno Sticky thread at the top of this section, you'll see results from many various turbo setups.

Golden rule is - more power you want, more lag you get. A 600HP turbo is never going to come on even remotely close to a stock turbo, yuor talking 4500rpm or there abouts

Have a read of the sticky thread, and also the FI Guide (just below it), once you see a setup you like with a turbo that seems to fit what you want, have another search with that turbo. Plenty of threads detailing HKS GT-RS, Garrettt 3071/3076, Trust TD06/TD05 series and so on.

Thanks

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
