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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
