Have searched but nothing relevant to my mate's scenario.

He has a R33 S1 with 3" exhaust with cat and stock front pipe & a pod filter. His turbo is on it's wasy out so he needs a new second hand turbo. Options that have come up are replace with another stock R33 turbo or an VG30 turbo, which is around the same price figure.

Besides the lag will the RB25det handle the VG30 taking into account the only mods listed above. Please express some opinions...

Thanks

i have an R33 S1 GTST, i have almost the same mods to you although i have a standard cat (have not gotten around to replacing it yet) with every thing else 3" and a 1 piece split front dump and dump, i also have a fmic.

I have a high flow that consists of a T4 front and a VG30 rear.9 - .95 is the most boost i can get out of it before it starts breaking down, it is a huge improvement over the standard turbo which was on 12psi before it blew and my engine which is not real healthy and has done 200,000k's seems to cope with it fine.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
