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

Edited by Dave69001

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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
