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

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
