hey guys

im in the process of swapping a new rb25 into my s2 r33, as i got low compression issues in current motor.

i have been doing some reading and ppl with similar setups to mine are making good power with the gt3037 turbo

i currently have a kkr430 that has shit itself (white smoke out the back - will never touch kkr again only had it for like 4 months) and im in the market for a new turbo. What other turbos would you's recommend for me? I have around $2500 max to spend, i don't wan't a crazy lag monster, but dont mind a bit of lag for a bit more top end.

my current setup is

splitfires

vipec ecu

bigger injectors (stock ones bored out to just under 500cc i believe)

walbro pump

i think thats the important things.. then fmic exhaust etc obviously.

any help greatly appreciated. i know i dont know much about this area of cars atm but am trying to learn as much as i can. thanks again.

I would say do your FMIC & Exhaust First, with a close second to the fuel pump. Then save up for the turbo, injectors and all that, have it all put in the same time to save on labor and tuning charges. Well that's what I'm doing, and my turbo choice would be a GT3076R, my aim is to get a reliable 250rwkw in my series 2 r33. Also maybe do a search, there are plenty of posts on here and other websites about turbos...just depends to how much you want to spend and what power figures you want.

    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
