hey guys !!!!

got a hi-flowed turbo and all supporting mods on my r33 s-II (coil packs, fmic,z32 afm, pod etc.).

the turbo can't flow enough air at high rpm so it drops from 18psi to 15psi and making only 301rwhp.

any ideas/ suggestions on what my options are to get to 350hp mark ?????

Will I have to get a new turbo altogether or are there any other options???

If new bigger turbo is the only answer, what turbo? are there any bolt on solutions?

here's the dyno graph ..

How big is the front, if the front is big enough maybe its just the rear housing that is not flowing enough, in that case the simple option is a vg30 rear housing which is .8 not .6 like and rb25 turbo, i have a high flow with one, only have fmic, k&n panel filter, 3" exhaust, hi flow cat and one piece split dump and it makes 299 rwhp, once i put in bigger injectors, z32, fule pump and management i will be maxing it out at around 350 rwhp.

My dyno graph is much the same as yours but i am making the same power as you at the same rpm but with less boost, my 299hp was at 6000rpm @ 14psi.

what wastegate actuator are you using? if you have a rb25 one then they are weak as piss and can cause this.

get a upgraded wastegate actuator with a 15psi spring and then re-tune it to 20psi and you should get close to the power your after

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll check with the guy who hi-flod the turbo, what housing .6 or .8 and what wastegate actuator were used. At this stageall I know is the wastegate is internal...

checked with the workshop and it was the stock rb25 wastegate actuator used (3 psi or something). will change this to a better one in Jan... he said this will be a 13.8psi... will this do the trick??? I guess only one way to find out !!!

Just wondering if setting the higher boost duty circle will help holding the boost?? :D

Can anyone confirm the size of the stock wastegate actuator? I thought it was 7psi?? Cause i think they did the same with my gt3076r upgrade. Its a lag fest. I got a 18psi spring going on next tuesday.

In your case there is no way you will make 350rwhp with a high flow. I bet Andrew told you that you wouldnt see those figures too. Thats why i went the gt3076r and not a highflow.

However i reckon you might get 325rwhp at most on his dyno with a 1 bar actuator. The boost will come on heaps early and should hold all the way.

um, rb25 actuators are 7psi, rb20 actuators are 10psi, HKS actuators are adjustable but from memory the minimum is 14psi? correct me if im wrong,

thats why people say using the rb20 actuator on the 25 turbo ends up working better,

HKS actuators cost mmm well with our crap exchange rate now probably $200, was $130 delivered when i checked last before the crap dollar

I kinda realised that I'm not gonna get 350hp with this turbo, but if I can run 17-18psi and hold through out the rev range I'll be more than happy (with what ever the rwhp number I get)

I don't wanna pay for whole new turbo setup just for few hp

Is it straight forward to change the actuator to a 1 bar actuator? which brand is recomended??? are there 18 psi actuators out there?

and yeah !!! Andrew told me that 350 is not gonna happen with this turbo. :D

Just get the HKS actuator. My stock actuator got busted, stuck at 0.4bar all the time. Got the adjustable and wind it up til 0.73bar which was max for the stock turbo (using stock ecu). Winding it up anymore would cause like hitting a wall kinda feeling. lol

BTW the HKS acutator can go over 1 bar easily.

Well if you hadnt noticed your thread says im after 350rwhp. Your asking the wrong questions.

Get a suitable turbo first!

Do people know how much you can get out of a high flowed r33 turbo? Mines a RB25 and im making 290Hp at 12psi. But they guy that tunes it said he wound the boost up too 20psi but only got about 10 more Hp. Does this sound right?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
