Well, I blew the rear wheel on my turbo over the weekend.

I have a replacement coming to get the car running again, but now I'm considering upgrading it.

Atm I'm thinking HKS GT-RS.

Just wondering what you guys think??

I have all the supporting mods, bar Z32 and injectors (they will be on the list if I go down this path)

Hey Man, so sorry to see that happen!

Was waiting for this post though :lol:

I think you should go for it, but it isn't coming out of my pocket.

It is such a clean car man and if the flutter comming off has been your biggest problem, you are doing pretty well! :)

P.S. I just put a stock ECU in (was mines) and it is a completly different car... I am loving it! Can't wait for more than 350kms from a tank! :down:

Yeah I was pretty cut lol, not in the fact that I didnt think it could happen, was just really looking forward to the drive home!!

What do you reckon 555cc or 740cc??

Thats awesome about the improvement of the ecu change over!! Do you reckon it was tuned for a bigger turbo??

that phat man is almost right... i think it was more so confused, pinging it's head off, tuned for higher octane fuel etc!

glad that is gone and I have been driving it like a softy in that time since it was running so poorly!

can't really help you on the injector size, Sam will be able to assist there... have you decided what you are going to do?

well what about looking into a hks 2530 or even 2535 they good turbo fast spool up on the rb25 they are an old style type of turbo but it depends what are you are gaining for in power out put, as for injector upgraid i would think to be on the safe side go for 720cc sards for that matter but do also if you have not allready done so upgrade the fuel pump and maybe also power fc never go a stray something to also think about

Thanks for the input Mich, know where you can get one of those kits?? and costs?

As part of the normal mod's before looking at the turbo upgrade I have fuel pump and powerfc. Was trying to get as much as I could out of the standard turbo, but since having lost the rear wheel out the exhaust, I have lost faith in their ability LOL

Sam's said the 555's will be more than enough for the power.

thought i mite give u my 2c on injector size, I have a standard RB25det, Z32 afm, pwr fc, Vg30 hi flo 040 fuel pump, and went for the 555cc injectors, runs 15lbs all day every day, has 250rwkw, this is not pushing the limits, 555cc handle the job nicely with more room to move if need be. was going to go bigger but not needed, what are u looking at kicking out power wise?

Well I have looked at the 2835 ProS Woolls, but I cant justify the extra cost for it, when I should be able to get that sort of power fron the GT-RS. Even if its a little less power I'm not going to be worried.

I dont intend to open the engine up and rebuild it, so I'm not going to get the most out of the 2835 (but I wasnt intending to upgrade the turbo either :D lol)

Im hoping that I can get some where around 250kw, but I really after a solid, responsive setup. We'll see what happens!

hey stryder, for what its worth imo for 250kws going all out on gt-rs would be delightful, if you have deep pockets :cool:

i however don't so a cheaper but still far capable option would be T517z's with 8cm rear housing to suit your quick spooling lust. also available in the 10cm rear too which is not a "laggy" turbo by any means.

if you were going to go nismo 555 you may find the price between them and sard 720 perilously close..just another something for you to consider i guess.

what is your car doing at the moment fuel pump wise.?

best of luck anyway dude :rofl:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
