I bought a cheepy, $350 ,that had a few problems with it (compressor wheel was eroded and exhaust housing was badly cracked) took it to per4manz turbos and cost about $600 to fit new compressor wheel and machine out second hand stock exhaust housing and new seals. bought some gaskets and fitted it myself , a easy job if everything comes apart ok. a bit more laggy than the stock one but heaps more pull when it gets going. went from 290rwhp at 12psi to 307rwhp at 11psi. aiming for about 350-360 at 17psi when injectors and ecu are fitted.

soo pal do you think that if i go with the $350 i will hav problems with ...

thanks for all the info its really good ..

if any1 has got a hi-flow for sale let me now ..... and if you hav got a r33 with same mods as me let me no power adn how much ti costs ..

thanks guys this forum is really good :)0

if you dont know the history of the turbo it's worth the extra coin to get it checked out before you buy it, and rebuilt if needed(making sure it is worth it first). not worth sticking it in and it popping on you. i put mine in just for seals and machining which was around 300 bux but due to the compressor wheel being stuffed, that put another $300 on it.

soo ppl is there any1 out there with a r33 that has a hi-flo .. wat boost are you on adn wat mods do you hav ...

on my car i hav a turbo back zorst , pod , cooler , fuel pump, and will be installing safc soon ... if i get a hi-flo turbo wat boost do you think will be safe for my car and would any1 know wat sort of hp ill be getting ..

thanks guys evry1 has helpd alot ...

230-240rwkw @ 16-18psi.

It's not so much "safe" boost levels as opposed to having a "safe" tune which will keep your engine alive.

Best (and safest) gains will be had with a proper ECU though. Probably going to max your airflow meter and not sure how an SAFC will go tuning past the AFM limits..

may get a bit more depending on turbo, i got 229rwkw at 11 psi with a safc2, hoping for 260 rwkw at 16-17 psi with injectors and full ecu

Yours must be a similar size to the hiflow on my stag then, 240awkw @ 12psi seems to be a bit more than normal 33 hiflows (mine is a hiflowed neo turbo so bigger exhaust housing). Some new injectors and ~18psi I'd hope to see ~280awkw.

mm not soo bad :) .... cant wait to get my car back on the road ...

duz any1 also know how much it costs to get the safc installed and tuned ...

i got safc1 is that crap or would itn help me a lil ....

and has any1 got a hi-flo for sale for a r33

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
