What Turbo Should I Get?

[aloy_r32]

hi all....

i am wanting to upgrade my turbo in the next month or so and i was wondering wich one i should get??

my car is a r32 gtst, its stock as a rock besides the exhaust, n im gettn spitfire coils n frount mount too... i dont really want to spend the money on gettn and after market ecu so is it possible to upgrade my turbo without the ecu??

To do it properly and to make the most of it, you'll need more mods....such as injectors, maybe a larger AFM - z32 and

as always an after market ecu is the best option. You can remap the r32 gtst ecu - but if your spending all that money on mods, you may as well make the most of them and get an ecu.

Why do you need a bigger turbo?

Whats the car going to be used for?

A basic upgrade would be an r33 gtst turbo bolted on.

Or even hi-flow your standard one.

im new to sau so plz bear with me....

i want a bigger turbo cause im too used to the power iv got now, my car is only stock and ive been wanting to do things to it for a while now but other thing have tied up my money and time till now....

im wanting to start drifting (as ameture) and see how it goes from there..thats why i bought the 4 door r32 heaps of people where telln me there better 4 drifting..

my mate has a sr20 turbo,, hes got t28 ballbearing ,frount mount , fuel pump,pod filter ,hes running standard ecu on 15psi he ran a 12.9 1/4 mile n ive lined him up b4 n he smoked me.. thats why i thought my standard ecu would be fine...

thanks for the reply and any help would be much appeciated....

you will need to do something with the ecu because if you are putting in more air...you need more fuel...for that you need a new tune + in jectors...

the turbo i am looking at for mine is a HKS item...mate put me on to it last night i think he said the 28/35. then ill get a decent replacement ecu which i am thinking the V44 as seems best bang for buck.

but first i wana do some more suspension + drivetrain. i reckon this'll give me more joy first...as driving in a straight line is pretty boring to be honest.

My thoughts,

Do other mods first as Gus said - do suspension and drivetrain first.

Do a few driver days first, learn how your car goes first, learn how it handles etc

If you just have an exhaust as only mod, I'd look at doing a fmic, boost controller and a retune. this would give you a slight power increase, could even go as max as 160rwkw.

That and some suspension mods and a 1 way diff at a minimum would be good fun!!

I had my line for 2.5 years before I upgraded my turbo!

But if you have your heart set on a bigger turbo - basic upgrade would be an r33 (not sure if r34's bolt up?)

Cheers,

stick with stock cost to much

Depends what your after..

You will need to do a FMIC, Fuel Pump, Injectors, EBC before considering any power. Then you WILL need a computer or a remap...

Even when bolting on a R33/34 turbo, you should do the above...

I am running all basic mods plus injectors and a remap with a R34 Turbo and am just shy of 200rwkw.....next step is maybe a highflow or a aftermarket turbo...once again it depends on what you are after....

Douse has the perfect example

200rwkw in a lighter r32, with decent suspension etc would be fun!

but even if you do that set up for a while, you can always upgrade the turbo again later as you'll have the right supporting mods!
