Hi guys,

Im planning to take the hi flow turbo off my R32 gtst and put a standard RB25 unit on it as im after response the high flow is too laggy for me.

As far as I can tell everything will bolt up the same but the only difference im noticing you will see in the pic below where ive circled it in red.

On my standard R32 turbo on the left their seems so be some sort of fitting for a hose, but on the R33 turbo on the right it doesnt exist at all theirs not even a hole their like on the R32 one.

What does this thing do and do I need to modify anything on the R33 turbo to suit?

Thanks :P

on the R32 turbo that fitting is linked to the wastegate actuator. on the R33 turbo that fitting is on the bolt on elbow off the turbo, do you have the R33 elbow to go on the turbo?

if not, just run a vacuum line from the plenum to the wastegate actuator on the R33 turbo. when i did the same conversion on my 32 i drilled and tapped the compressor housing on the R33 turbo in the same spot as the R32 one. IIRC its 1/8" BSP-T.

me and my mates did the r33 turbo on my r32 the other week and we just ran the hose from the actuator and split it to the vacum hose from the 32 standard bov and the boost controller works fine

and i asked a performance mechanic if it is allright and they seen it and said it should be sweet

but could it cause some lagg the hoses being so long like cause the boost to take abit to register

      Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.

      Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
